24.SX MOniTOR (SERvO MOniTOR)
The Servo Monitor displays the output levels of each of the 6 channels in bar graph form, allowing you to monitor servo operation
in a virtual manner. This is helpful to see servo movement when the control sticks and switches are moved, and it allows you to
visualize what is occurring with servo movements when you apply different mixing values. The Servo Monitor also indicates which
channel slots in the receiver to plug your servos into (1 EL, 2AI, 3TH, 4RU, 5GE, and 6FL).
The channels displayed on the Servo Monitor will vary based on the Model Type selection options chosen in the TYPE
menu. For example, if you chose TAIL>2xEL and AILE>2 in the TYPE menu, LE (Left Elevator), RE (Right Elevator), LA
(Left Aileron), and RA (Right Aileron) will be displayed along with the corresponding receiver channel slot numbers.

Compensation Mixing Sample - Mixing Elevator to Flaperons/Spoilerons
The sample below describes how to mix elevator to flaperons using Compensation Mixer 1 and control it using the Compensation
Mixing switch. This mix is common for use in 3D aerobatic aircraft where you want both ailerons to move up and down with the
elevator, yet still maintain full roll control. In order to use this mix, your aircraft must feature two separate aileron servos and you
must choose AILE>2 in the TYPE menu.
1) From within the FLAPERON menu, set the desired FL
4
LA> and FL
4
RA> percentage values. We suggest adjusting the
percentage values to achieve the maximum desired flaperon control throw when the Flap switch is Activated.
In this example, the Master channel is the Elevator channel and the Slave channel is the Flap channel. The RATE Hi and RATE Lo
percentage values define how far Up and Down the both ailerons will move together, and is a percentage of the FL
4
LA and FL
4
RA
percentage values you previously programmed in the FLAPERON menu. To Activate this mix, Activate Compensation Mixer 1 by
pulling the Compensation Mixer switch down. It's not necessary to use the Flap control switch when using this mix.
1) Press the Navigation Pad
6
to highlight OFFSET>0%.
2) Press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to change the Offset Percentage
value.
OFFSET setting range is -100% to 100%. The default setting is 0%. Increasing the Offset percentage value will shift the neutral
position of the Slave servo in one direction and decreasing the Offset percentage value will shift the neutral position of the
Slave servo in the opposite direction.
MASTER>EL
SLAVE>FL
RATE Hi>50%
RATE Lo>50%
OFFSET>0%
The positive and negative values shown in the example may vary based on the NOR/REV status
of your aileron and elevator servos. You may need to change the percentage values to suit.
2) Program the Compensation Mixer 1 options from the within the C-MIX1 menu, as shown at right.
Using the Servo Monitor
1) From the Display screen, press the ENTER key to display the Programming
Menus.
2) Press the Navigation Pad
56
to highlight SX MONITOR, then press
the ENTER key to display the Servo Monitor.
3) Moving the control sticks and channel switches will display the position
and movement of each of the servos.
Changing the Offset Percentage Value
The Offset percentage value changes the neutral position of the Slave channel servo when the Compensation Mixing function is
Activated. For example, when an Offset percentage value is programmed, the Slave channel servo neutral position and its two
End Point positions will 'shift' the programmed amount.
