Two-Way Momentary Toggle
The two-way momentary toggle may be oriented in and
up-down orientation (Dv) or a side-to-side orientation
(Dh). It functions as two one-way toggles combined into
one.
Two-Function Mode:
When the toggle is flipped in one
direction it outputs a button press for as long as it is
held down and when flipped in the opposite direction it
outputs a different button press for as long as it is held
down.
These can be assigned as a next and previous function,
where up is previous and down is next. They can also be
assigned to perform completely unrelated functions
such as flipping up toggles ABS on and off and flipping
down toggles traction control on and off.
One-Function Mode:
There may be situations where it
may be desirable to have the switch perform the same
function regardless of whether it is toggled up or down.
Each two-way momentary toggle may be configured to
operate in one-function mode by following the
programming instructions.
Multi-Function Encoders
The encoder will output a short button press for every
click on one of two buttons depending on which
direction it is turned. Therefore, turning it slowly to the
left 3 clicks will output 3 short button presses on one
button while turning it slowly to the right 3 clicks will
output 3 short button presses on a different button. It is
important to note that due to a limitation in games the
encoder will only output up to 3 button presses per
second. Button presses are only output while the knob
is in motion to give the knob a natural feeling response.
Each encoder can perform the functions of 4 encoders.
By default, the LED next to the encoder is off indicating
the encoder is operating at the first function. Pressing
the encoder knob inwards selects a different function
and turns the LED on to one of three colors, red, green,
or amber. While the LED is illuminated to a different
color, the encoder acts upon a different pair of buttons.
Very similar to how the tuning knob on a car stereo
changes the station, but pressing it once lets the user
change the Bass setting, and pressing it again lets the
user adjust the Treble setting, the encoders on the
RACEpro Switch Panel can let you adjust the master
volume, then pressing it once can let you adjust the
spotter volume, then pressing it again can let you adjust
the chat volume, and pressing it again can let you
change the radio channel.
Each encoder can perform up to 4 functions, but they
can be limited to less if they will not be used. If the
encoder is limited to a single function, then the select
push-to-select becomes available to be used as a
pushbutton (Type C). Please see the programming
instruction for reducing the encoder functions.
Brake Bias Encoder
The brake bias encoder has been specially designed for
adjusting front-to-rear brake bias. Turning the knob to
the left triggers a short button press and turning to the
right triggers a short button press on a different button.
These buttons should be assigned in game to the front
bias and rear bias functions respectively. The sensitivity
of the knob is adjustable from as little as one button
press per full turn to 16 button presses per turn. This
creates a realistic feeling bias adjustment knob. To set
the sensitivity of the knob please refer to the
programming instructions.
Programming the operation of each switch and knob.
Many knobs and switches can operate differently as
desired. Entering program mode will allow you to
change their operation. The operating mode can be
changed by performing the indicated action to the
switch and the feedback LED will indicate the current
operating mode that switch is now in.
Enter program mode by pressing the
“#13”
button or
toggle for 10 seconds. Release the button/toggle when
the "Program Feedback" LED flickers green. If the
button/toggle is not released then the LED will flicker
red and the unit will abort program mode. While in
program mode, the buttons will not respond in the
game.
