Select Items to be Displayed Menu  (Choose Items (0=None, 63=All)) 

 
This menu lets you configure which graphics icons and other display elements appear on which pages of the OSD Pro display.   It is easiest to configure 
these items in the PC software as described in the “Configuring Graphics and other Items to Display” section above.  However, it is possible to configure 
these settings at the field.  For each item, a number from 0 to 63 can be set, where 0 means the item is not displayed on any page, 1 means that the item is 
displayed on page 1, and 63 means the item is displayed on all pages.   For more details on how the numbers correspond to which pages upon which the 
item is displayed, please see the chart shown at this web link:

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. 

 

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. 

 

RADAR Icon:   Select YES to enable the RADAR feature, described earlier in the manual. 

 

Waypoints:   Set this to YES if you want to display the waypoints you entered in the Windows Setup Utility on the main display screen.   If you 
have defined waypoints that exceed this maximum radius, they will be displayed in reverse video. 

 

Flight Timer/Elapsed Time: Set this to YES to enable the Flight Timer, which appears in the upper left-hand corner when enabled.   The Flight 
Timer display is in MM:SS until greater than 59 minutes is reached, then it switches to HH:MM:SS.   The flight timer starts counting up when the 
GPS Home position is finalized.  It can be reset to zero by clicking on the “Reset Home Position” menu item on the main on-screen menu. 

 

Compass:  Set this to YES if you would like to display the graphical compass on the main screen. 

 

Battery A Icon:    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. See the “Graphical Battery Displays” section earlier in the manual for more information. 

 

Battery B Icon:    Advanced feature.  See the “Graphical Battery Displays” section earlier in the manual for more information. 

 

Battery C Icon:    Advanced feature.  See the “Graphical Battery Displays” section earlier in the manual for more information. 

 

Home/Center Screen Indicator:  Set this to YES if you would like to display the Home Indicator in the center of the screen. 

 

Servo Deflections Display:  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 

 

Artificial Horizon Line:  This option lets you control on which pages the AHI indicator appears.  See the Guardian instruction manual for more 
information, if you are using the Guardian.
