Channels

Choose if channels are to be saved into the fl ash 
memory

Channels

 are devices whose IDs have been confi gured 

in the channel table in menu and are of type which can 
be used as a channel. See previous table.

Other periodic

Choose whether devices, which could be channels but 
are not confi gured in channel table in menu, are to be 
saved in fl ash memory.

Sporadic

Choose whether devices, which could not be channels, 
are to be saved in fl ash memory.

Unknown

Choose whether devices which are unknown (those de-
vices which are designed after FTR970-PRO software 
version) are to be saved in fl ash memory.

Channel interval

This setting sets whether interval logging is on. 
If setting is 0, interval logging is not in use. Any other value enables interval logging and sets the 
interval time in seconds. Interval logging means that all 

channels

 are saved to fl ash periodically with 

set interval. This is useful if the fl ash memory need to last as long as possible for given transmitter 
count. Maximum value for this setting is 65535s.

This setting dictates only how channel data is saved in to the fl ash memory.

Flash erase

Flash can be erased with this if “clear settings” jumper is set, see page 9. If jumper is not set on 
board, this won’t do anything.

Run

This setting is used to stop clock updates to Mekuwin menu, so that new time can be set.

Year, Month, Day, Hour, Min, Sec

These are used to update new time for the device. Maximum for the year is 2063. When new time 
is set, “Save to EEPROM”-button near clock menu has to be pressed to update the clock. There is 
about 1s delay on setting to the clock from the menu.
