Configure Sensors and Units
The Configure Sensors and Units menu has the following items:
•
Use Baro Alt for RTH/Ladder: Set this item to YES only if you have a barometric altimeter (either the Altimeter Microsensor, or a Flight Data
Recorder). When set to YES, the barometric altimeter will be used for the altitude ladder, the acoustic variometer, and for the Return to Home
altitude input. Set this item to NO if you are using GPS for altitude measurement.
•
Use Pitot Spd for RTH/Ladder: Set this item to YES only if you have a pitot/static airspeed sensor (either the Airspeed Microsensor, or a Flight
Data Recorder). When set to YES, the pitot/static airspeed will be used for the airspeed ladder, the Total Energy function of the acoustic
variometer, and for the Return to Home airspeed input. Set this item to NO if you are using GPS for ground speed measurement.
•
Use Temp 1 Input for RSSI: This advanced feature indicates to the OSD Pro that you have connected the analog RSSI output of your compatible
receiver to the center pin of the “Temperature 1” connector on your eLogger or Recorder. When you configure the OSD Pro to display the
“Temperature Sensor A” parameter, it will not be converted to a temperature if this option is set.
•
Units for all Speeds: Normally, all speeds (GPS, pitot/static) are displayed in the default units, chosen under “Software, Choose Units of Measure”
in the software. But, this option lets you override the default setting. For example, use this option if you want to set the default units to metric, but
want speed in MPH or knots. Choose “Default” for this option if you want the default units to be used (MPH or km/h).
•
Units for all Distances: Normally, all distances (distance to home, distance to waypoint, and RADAR radius) are displayed in the default units,
chosen under “Software, Choose Units of Measure” in the software. But, this option lets you override the default setting. For example, use this
option if you want to set the default units to metric, but want distances displayed in feet. Choose “Default” for this option if you want the default
units to be used (feet or meters).
•
Units for all Altitudes: Normally, all altitudes (GPS, barometric) are displayed in the default units, chosen under “Software, Choose Units of
Measure” in the software. But, this option lets you override the default setting. For example, use this option if you want to set the default units to
metric, but want altitudes displayed in feet. Choose “Default” for this option if you want the default units to be used (feet or meters).
Configure OSD Display Menu
These menu items set options for OSD Display features.
•
Set Page Switch time (secs): If you have configured multiple pages of data parameters using the Windows Setup Utility, and wish to switch
between the pages of data every few seconds, set this parameter to the number of seconds between page switches. NOTE: In addition to this
option, toggling your radio’s Aux2/Select switch (if configured) when not in menu mode will cause the display page to advance to the next page.
•
Show Airspeed Ladder: Set this to YES if you would like to display the speed ladder on the main screen. The speed ladder ranges from 0 to 999,
and displays in either MPH, or K/H, depending on your chosen units.
•
Show Altitude Ladder: Set this to YES if you would like to display the altitude ladder on the main screen. The Altitude ladder ranges from -999
to 9999, and displays in either feet or meters, depending on your chosen units.
•
Show Graphical Compass: Set this to YES if you would like to display the graphical compass on the main screen.
•
Show Crosshairs: Set this to YES if you would like to display the crosshairs in the center of the screen.
•
Show Graphical Battery: Set this to YES if you would like to display the graphical battery on the main screen. Don’t forget to set your
battery’s mAH capacity on the Main Menu screen also.
•
Set Horizontal Screen Shift: This setting lets you adjust the horizontal position of the OSD data on your video screen. Increasing this parameter
causes the OSD data to shift rightward on the screen.
•
Set Vertical Screen Shift: This setting lets you adjust the vertical position of the OSD data on your video screen. Increasing this parameter causes
the OSD data to shift downwardly on the screen.
•
Narrow Screen (see manual): This setting compresses the OSD screen horizontally, decreasing the width. It does not affect the video width. Try
this option if your DVR or display does not let you see all of the OSD data, even after adjusting the horizontal screen shift. NOTE: If you select
this option, and find that your OSD Pro is suddenly has display issues, email
.
•
On/Off Display with Aux2?: Set this to YES if you would like to turn the main display screen on and off, by toggling the Aux2 switch. Note that
using this option would likely require the Aux2 channel to be dedicated to the OSD Pro, and not shared with other equipment.
•
Set OSD Text White Level: Adjusts the white level of the OSD Pro text and graphics. Normally, this does not need to be changed from the default
setting of “7.”
•
Set OSD Text Black Level: Adjusts the black level of the OSD Pro text and graphics. Normally, this does not need to be changed from the default
setting of “0.”
•
Enable EagleEyes Telemetry: This feature enables embedding of digital telemetry data for our EagleEyes
TM
FPV Ground Station. See our website
for more information.
•
Display Servo Deflections: This display option can assist in fine-tuning RTH and other settings. It displays the present Aileron/Rudder, Elevator
and Throttle servo offsets. The offsets range from extremes of approximately -2000 to 2000. Zero corresponds to the neutral stick settings that
you indicated in the “Set Sticks for Level Flight” screen of the Safety Mode Wizard
