When you have selected a linear transmitter the two switching points can be placed in any position you like by moving them with
your finger. The red area indicates the “Off” state; the green area the “On” state. The orange area indicates “hysteresis”, i.e. the
area in which no switching takes place. You can very easily reverse the “Off” state and the “On” state by moving one of the two
switching point sliders in front of or behind the other.
This adaptability provides maximum flexibility and simplicity, and you can immediately check the effect of your settings by using
the linear control. The transmitter control symbol on the left changes color to indicate the switched state.
If you wish to use a switch, you can very easily set the desired switch position to ON. If you select a 3-position switch it is also
possible to set two ON positions. Press OK once you have completed your settings. You are now returned to the Cut-Off func-
tion overview. Under Position set the servo position to which the servo is to move when the transmitter control is operated.
If the assigned transmitter control is set to OFF, the servo output works as previously defined for that function. As soon as the
transmitter control is moved to the ON position, the servo moves to the previously defined position; you can read off the current
value at far right.
3.8 Telemetry Control
The telemetry controls exploit the potential performance of Atom telemetry to the full. They enable you to use any of the telemetry
values to control functions in the model. Since Atom telemetry operates virtually in real time, it would be possible, for example,
to control motor power in relation to speed within certain limits. Another practical application is to monitor air pressure in order
to control a retractable undercarriage: if a defect in the system causes a drop in air pressure, the undercarriage automatically
extends.
To set up a telemetry control, first press +, then briefly press the button under Source to select a telemetry value. This only works
if the receiver is already bound, and the telemetry sensor is already connected.
