Fl. phase timers
Selecting and setting
The discussion of the "Phase settings" menu on page
134 has already described how timers can be assigned
to a fl ight phase. The same section has also described
the properties of "Time1" and "Time2". This section
now proceeds to describe "Clk 1, 2 and 3", plus the "lap
counter/timetable" timer.
The additional, fl ight phase-specifi c timer selected is
displayed on the basic display underneath the "center"
timer, as shown below:

… you can now program "Clks 1 … 3" as stopwatches
(i. e. timers that run forward) or as countdown/alarm
timers (i. e. timers that run backwards). You can assign
any switch to these timers, and the same is true of the
"lap counter/timetable" timer:

The fl ight phase timers "Clks 1 … 3" and the
"Time1"/"Time2" timers (described in the "Phase
settings" section, pp. 128 and 132) run only in the fl ight
phase to which they have been assigned. They are also
shown as appropriate on the basic display. During other
fl ight phases they are stopped (and hidden) and the
assigned stop/start switch then has no effect.
The lap counter, once started, continues to run through
changes of phase (as discussed further below),
however, although it can be stopped during any fl ight
phase via the center
ESC key on the left touch pad.
Clks 1, 2 and 3
These timers are started and stopped via a switch or
control switch. To do so, fi rst use the arrow keys to select
the appropr
iate column via the switch icon at the bottom
right. Then set the switch that you want by briefl y tapping
the center
SET key on the right touch pad, as described
in the section "Assigning transmitter controls, switches
and control switches" (p. 52). Here, too, a control switch
offers you the option of activating the timer via one
of the joysticks or propor
tional rotary controls. The
switching point along the transmitter control travel is set
on the "Control switch" menu (page 123).
Remember that the timer switches also remain active in
programming mode.
Switching between "forwards" and "backwards"
Stopwatch mode (timer runs forwards)
In this mode, the timer starts at the initial value "0:00"
(min:sec) when you operate the assigned switch. If it
reaches the maximum time of 180 min. and 59 s, it will
re-start at "0:00".
"Countdown" (timer runs backwards)
Following the activation of the corresponding value fi elds
(by tapping the center
SET key on the right touch pad),
if a time in min
utes (maximum 180 min) and/or a time
in seconds (maximum 59 s, right fi eld) is set, then the
timers will run backwards from this initial value following
the activation of the assigned switch (see section
"Assigning tr
ansmitter controls, switches and control
switches" on page 52), i.e. a "countdown" function will
apply. Once the timer reaches zero it does not stop,
however, but continues to run (highlighted) so you can
read off the time elapsed after reaching zero.
Note:
Timers that are running backwards are shown on the
basic display with a fl ashing colon (:) between the
minutes and the seconds fi elds.
Tapping the cd or ef keys on the right touch pad at
the same time (CLEAR) will reset the values entered in
the currently active fi eld to zero.
