Repeat this procedure as necessary for the other two
servos.
With a simultaneous tap on the  or  selection
keys of the right four-way button (CLEAR), the given
position value will be reset back to”0 %”.
Step 1 (first event)
Now that initial positions have been established, the
first step can be set. This is a matter of defining what
is to be done, or not done, first, following a certain
span of time.
Do this by first using the  selection keys of the left
four-way button to select one of the servos. Now tap
the  key of the left four-way button. The step num-
ber, which was previously indicated by a “0” is now
replaced by a “1” and the value “0.0s” will appear in
the field above “TIME”. Use the selection keys of the
right four-way button as ne cessary to shift the marker
frame to the “TIME” column:

Now briefly tap on the center SET key of the right
four-way button to set the activation time into the val-
ue field for the “TIME” column, e. g. 1.5 s. The current
position in time is represented in the graphic by the
dotted vertical line. It will move to the right according
to the time setting and, at the same time, the course
of servo positions will be presented as dotted lines
between time-point “0” and time-point “1”:

Now set the desired servo positions for the end of the
first time span (with the same procedure as already
described for “Step 0”) or leave one or more of these
servos in the same position they were in for the previ-
ous step.
A simultaneous tap on the  or  keys of the
right four-way button (CLEAR) will reset the inverse
video value displayed if the TIME field back to “blank”
and erase the current sequence, in this example only
Step “1”:

Step 2 …
Repeat the previously described procedure for every
other step to be defined until the servos have reached
their terminal positions.
Switch assignment
In conclusion, assign the sequence of events created
to a switch (as described in the section “Physical con-
trol, switch and control switch assignments” on page
68) with which the servos can be switched between
their initial and terminal positions:
POS
11
12

0%
10
0.0s
2
TIME
ST
As soon as this switch is closed, the servos’ se-
quence of movements can be followed in the graphic.
The servo curves will be shown in inverse video
according to the preset time windows. All movements
will sequence in reverse when the switch is opened
again.
Important notices:
• The sequence shown is only for demonstration
purposes and is not at all representative of a real
sequence of servo movements.
• The settings made in the “POS” value field replace
the otherwise “conventional” transmitter control
signal. Therefore it is necessary, before program-
ming such a sequence, to check in the »Servo
display« menu to make sure none of the channels
planned for the sequence are actuated by any oth-
er transmitter operating element. If this were to be
the case, it could lead to unpredictable excursions
in the motion sequence.
• The settings made in the »Servo adjustment«
and »Tx. output swap« menus are not affected by
settings in this menu.
When preparing and creating a sequence, be abso-
lutely sure the servos do not collide mechanically. If
necessary, use the “Travel limit” option in the »Servo
adjustment« menu.
