Dual Rates And Exponential - Horizon Hobby Spektrum DX8 Guide De Programmation

To Access the Swashplate function
With the transmitter on and the main or telemetry screen displayed, press the
roller. The Function list displays.
Rotate the roller to highlight Swashplate then press the roller to access.
To Adjust a Swashplate Value
Highlight the desired function (Aileron, Elevator or Pitch) then press the roller to
access.
Rotate the roller to change the Swashplate value. (Positive and negative values are
available and allow you to reverse that function.) Press the roller to accept. Repeat
the above process for all three cyclic inputs (aileron, elevator and pitch).
Note: Swashplate values increase or decrease the overall control travel of the
selected channel. For example if you increase Pitch value, the travel of all three
servos that control pitch increases. If you increase aileron value, the aileron and
pitch servos increase. Increasing or decreasing this value affects the travel of that
function and not the individual servo.
To Activate the Swashplate Expo function
Rotate the roller to highlight EXPo then press the roller to toggle between Inh and
Act. Note: Swash EXP compensates for the non-proportional rotational output of
the servo arms. We recommend you always have this activated.
To Activate the Swashplate E-Ring function
Highlight E-ring then press the roller to toggle between Inh and Act.

DUAl RATES AND EXPONENTIAl

The Dual Rate and Exponential functions allow you to program up to three control
rates and select them independently or with a single switch. Dual Rates and
exponentials are available on the aileron, elevator and rudder channels. Positive
expo values reduce control sensitivity around center with no effect on maximum
travel. We recommend using positive values. Negative exponential values
increase sensitivity around neutral and are seldom used.
To Access the D/R and Expo function
In the Function List rotate the roller to highlight D/R and Expo. Then press the
roller to access the D/R and Expo screen.
To Select a Channel
Rotate the roller to highlight the channel function, then press the roller to select
the function. Next rotate the roller to select the aileron, elevator or rudder channel.
Then press the roller to accept that channel.
To Select a Switch
Rotate the roller to highlight SW (switch) at the bottom of the screen then press
the roller to access the switch options. Rotate the roller to select the desired
switch then press the roller to activate that switch.
Note: By assigning multiple channels to the same switch, you can use a single
switch to affect the dual and exponential rates of multiple channels.
To Select a Switch Position to Adjust
Move the switch displayed at the bottom of the screen to change the Pos to one
of its three positions. When you make D/R or Expo adjustments, the values are
assigned to the presently selected position and are automatically active when the
switch is in that position (Pos 0, 1or 2).
