Dual Rates & Exponential
Dual rates can be defined as the ability to vary the travel or throw rate of a
servo from a switch. Due to differing travel rates, you will find that the
sensitivity of the control either increases or decreases accordingly. A higher
rate, or travel, yields a higher overall sensitivity. You may find it easier to think
of the Dual Rate Function as double-rated or half-rates.
The Dual Rate Function works in conjunction with the Exponential Function
to allow you to precisely tailor your control throws. In Function Mode, use the
scroll bar to select Dual Rate and access by pressing the scroll bar.
Dual rates are available for the aileron, elevator and rudder channels of your
R/C helicopter. The amount of travel is adjustable from 0-125%; exponential
is adjustable from 0% (LIN) to 100% in 1% increments. The factory setting, or
default value, for both the 0 and 1 switch positions is 100%. Either switch
position may be selected as the low or high rate by placing the switch in the
desired position and adjusting the value accordingly. There is also an automatic
dual rate setting for all three channels, operable from the Flight Mode Switch.
You may also assign a dual rate setting to a flight mode. The PCM9X provides the
user with 3 possible dual rate & exponential settings. These settings may then be
assigned to a flight mode using the automatic switching function.
When the Automatic Dual Rate (ADR) function is activated (ACT), when
switching the Flight Mode switch to Stunt 1 and Stunt 2 the Aileron, Elevator,
