Telemetry - GRAUPNER mx-10 HoTT Set Programmierhandbuch

Telemetry

The "Telemetry" menu is used to call up and program
transmitter and receiver data, and data generated by
optional telemetry sensors (see Appendix), in real time.
Receiver data are transmitted to the transmitter via the
HoTT receiver's integral downlink channel.
One telemetry sensor can be connected to the Tele-
metry input of the following receivers: GR-12S HoTT
(Order No. 33505), GR-12 HoTT (Order No. 33506) and
GR-16 (Order No. 33508). Two telemetry sensors can
be connected to the HoTT GR-24 HoTT receiver (Order
No. 33512).
Since this and future receivers can be updated by the
user, the associated "Telemetry" menus can constantly
be kept up-to-date, and expanded with the introduction
of additional functions or languages in future.
Note:
If you register your product under http://www.graupner.
de/en/service/product_registration you will automatically
be informed about new updates by e-mail.
Before updating the transmitter software you should
always back up all occupied model memories to a
compatible laptop or PC in order to avoid a possible loss
of data.
In addition to the back-ups mentioned above, fi rmware
updates are transferred using the transmitter's PC
socket and the optional USB adapter, Order No. 7168.6
and the connecting lead, Order No. 7168.6A, in con-
junction with a PC running the Windows XP, Vista or 7
operating system.
The programs required for this and related information
can be found in the Download area for the correspon-
ding products at the website www.graupner.de. We
always recommend that you load the latest fi rmware into
your equipment, to ensure that your system is constantly
kept up-to-date.
Important information:
• These instructions cover the functions available at
the time of going to press.
• As mentioned in the sections entitled "Binding mul-
tiple receivers" on pages 106 and 109, it is possib-
le to bind more than one receiver per model. Howe-
ver, in subsequent operations only the receiver
which was bound last is able to make a telemetry
connection to the transmitter. On the other hand,
this also means that only the last bound receiver can
be addressed using the Telemetry menu. You may
therefore need to change the binding sequence be-
fore you can enter settings which relate to a particu-
lar receiver.
• When setting up the radio control system, ple-
ase ensure at all times that the transmitter aerial
is an adequate distance from the receiver aerials.
A safe distance is about one metre. If you neg-
lect this, you risk interference with the downlink
channel, and consequent malfunctions.
• Since the transmitter and receiver only exchange te-
lemetry data after each fourth data packet, data
transmission inevitably requires a certain amount of
time, which means that there will be some delay in
responding to button-presses and set-up changes.
This does not constitute an error.
• Changes to model and sensor programming must
only be carried out when the model is on the ground.
Do not make any alterations unless the motor is swit-
ched off and the fl ight battery is disconnected. If you
ignore this, unwanted effects of programming chan-
ges cannot be excluded.
For example, if you accidentally initiate an active ser-
vo test at the receiver, the model could crash and
cause personal injury or property damage. Please
see the Safety Notes on pages 71 ... 74 of this ma-
nual and the various individual instructions.
• All settings which you enter using the "
menu, such as Fail-Safe, servo direction, servo tra-
vel, mixer and curve settings etc., are stored exclu-
sively in the receiver, and are therefore carried over
if you install the receiver in a different model. For this
reason we strongly recommend that you re-initiali-
se your HoTT receiver if you wish to use it in another
model; see "Reset" on page 93.
• We therefore recommend that you program direc-
tions of servo rotation, servo travel, mixer and cur-
ve settings using only the mx-10-specifi c stan-
dard menus "Servo settings" (page 111), "mixers"
(page 105) and "Dual Rate" (pages 11). If you ignore
this, the settings may overlap and interfere with each
other; in the most favourable case this can result in
confusion when operating the model, and in the least
favourable case it could cause problems.
• The channel-mapping function of the optional Smart-
Box can be used to share out control functions bet-
ween multiple receivers in any way, or even to assign
the same control function to several receiver outputs;
for example, you may wish to operate each aileron
with two servos instead of just one, etc. Once again
we strongly recommend that you act as cautious-
ly as possible when carrying out the program-
ming.
