Ser vo Set(up):

Enable the servo setup control in order to take manual control of the pan and tilt servos.

This is useful during initial setup of the pan/tilt mount, and also when using the same antenna mount
(un-guided) to fly with a plane not equipped with an ImmersionRC telemetry system.

Pan Deg, Tilt Deg

:Once servo setup mode is enabled, these controls define the pan and tilt servo angle

respectively.

Pan us/360, Til(t) us/360:

These are essentially the relationship between angle, and the width of the

servo pulse required to move the servo to that angle. These controls only need to be setup once, during
the construction of the antenna pan/tilt mount.
See the ‘Setting Up The Servos’ section of this manual for an explanation of how to set these up, along
with example settings for common pan/tilt mounts.

Tilt max, Tilt min, Pan max, Pan min

: Use to limit servo movement to avoid mechanical constraints .
