Set… | This button allows to define field name, visualisation type and condition. Note that changes in name and visualization are visible only on OSD screen, not on layout designer | |
Name | In this field user can define 2-letter name of field, e.g FL-for flaps, LG-for landing gear, Th-for throttle etc. | |
Action | This combo box allows to select visualization for monitored RC channel | |
1. Value | Show channel PWM value in microseconds (nominal 1000-2000us) | |
2. Percent | Show channel PWM value as percent (0-100%) | |
3. Arrow down | Show arrow down only when condition is met (e.g. for flaps down) | |
4. Arrow up | Show arrow up only when condition is met | |
5. Auto up/down | Show arrow up when RC channel is above 1700us and show arrow down when channel is below 1300us | |
6. Reversed up/down | Show arrow down when RC channel is above 1700us and arrow up when channel is below 1300us (for reversed RC channel) | |
7. Show name | Show channel name when condition is met, otherwise hide it. | |
8.White background | Show channel name on white background (reversed) when condition is met, otherwise show it on transparent background | |
9.bar | Show channel PWM value as graphical horizontal bar | |
Condition | This combo box allows to define when field is visible or changes its state | |
1.Always | Condition is always met/field is visible/visualization is active | |
2.If less than | Condition is met only when channel PWM value is less than given threshold | |
3. If more than | Condition is met only when channel PWM value is greater than given threshold | |
4. if no close to | Condition is met only when channel PWM value is different than given threshold (more than 10%) | |
5. if close to | Condition is met only when channel PWM value is close to given threshold (within 10%) | |
PPM (us) | This vaule determines PWM threshold (compare value) for condition in microseconds (nominal range 1000 to 2000 us) |
