Sequencer

The Sequencer menu option provides this-then-that mixing with
a time delay. Five different sequences (S1 through S5) are avail-
able to control 2 functions each (A and B), in 2 timing directions
(forward or reverse). Sequences appear throughout function
screens as assignable switches.
CAUTION: Always review the action of a sequence on
the Monitor or X-Plus Monitor screen BEFORE operating
the model to ensure controls act as desired. Failure to do so
could cause a crash, resulting in property damage and or injury.
You can program multiple functions to sequentially activate
in response to an assigned switch. For example, an assigned
Gear switch can open gear doors, lower the gear, then close the
doors. In reverse, gear doors open, the gear retracts and the
gear doors close.
You can assign each Sequencer function to a switch in most
Function screens such as Flight Mode, Dual Rate, Mixing,
Throttle Curve, Pitch Curve, etc.
You can assign several functions to a sequence to decrease
the number of controls you need to touch during complex fl ight
transitions, for example, applying your assigned dual rates and
exponential when the landing gear deploys and the fl ight mode
changes.
If you select an S-Number-A sequence, for example, S3A, the
sequence operates as a timed 5-position switch. An S-Number-
B sequence operates as a timed 3-position switch. The 5
positions correspond to the sequencer values shown on the
time delay graph in the second Sequencer screen. In a function
screen, highlight each point (0-4) and select the switch position
desired for a function to be active.
When S1B (or another sequence-number-B) is selected as
a switch in a function, the sequence will operate as a timed
3-position switch. The 3 positions act as 'kick points' of the
movement at fi xed percentages (equal thirds) of the sequencer
output. In a function screen, highlight each point (0-2) and select
the switch position desired for a function to be active.

Sequencer Set Up
1. In the fi rst Sequencer screen, select 1 of the 5 available
sequences.
2. In the second Sequencer screen, assign a switch to the
sequence. We recommend using a 2-position switch.
Tip: If you need to use a 3-position switch, you must assign
one direction to two adjacent switch positions, for example,
0 and 1. Assign the opposite direction to the third switch
position.
3. Assign the timing for the Forward and Reverse directions as
desired. There is no delay when you use the Nor option. You
may also select a delay time between 0 and 30 seconds.
4. Assign names for each sequencer function, as desired.
5. Select either Step (S) or Proportional (P) for the Sequencer
output.Step: The sequence only changes at kick points.
Otherwise, there is a delay in the sequence until it reaches
the next kick point.
Proportional: The sequence movement is proportional
between kick points. The sequence maintains rate and
direction until it reaches the next kick point.
6. Adjust the Sequencer motion percentages in the third screen.
For example, you may move points 1, 2 and 3 closer to the
beginning of the sequence so the motion occurs earlier. This
results in a delay between point 3 and point 4 at the end of the
sequence.
Testing the Sequence
The Sequencer function determines the response for channels
included in the sequence.
Refer to the Monitor screen to see how respective channels
interact in the Sequencer.
