[. . . ] Note that the small Modulation Indicator on the right side of the screen will also show the present modulation selection when it is changed, except when you select PPM/FM Reverse. Press both the INC +/YES and DEC -/NO keys simultaneously to return to the default PP (PPM/FM) modulation. Press the END key to return to the STW screen. 24 CPY (DATA COPY) A valuable feature of the RD6000 Sport is the Data Copy Function. With this function the entire set of control parameters for one aircraft can be `copied' from one model set-up into another. (For instance, if you have your aircraft program in Model #1 and nothing in Model #3, you can copy the Model #1 program into Model #3 with the copy function. Having copied your control set-up, you can now use MSL (Model Select) to access the Model #3 program and then make control changes to that set-up. This allows you to experiment with different control options without changing your original parameters (in this example Model #1). To use the CPY (copy) function, select "etc" on the Channel indicator using either the (CH ­) or (CH +) key. (note that you must be on the STW screen to move horizontally across the screen to "etc"). i etc Press the FUNCTION down key to select the CPY (copy) Function. i For this example, assume you want to copy the set-up of Model #1 (which you selected), to Model #3. The first number on the screen indicates the model number of the model you are copying. The second number indicates the destination of the model being copied. Press the INC +/YES key to change the destination for the copy to indicate Model #3. Note that one of the small triangles is blinking which indicates there is another screen associated with this function. i 25 On the previous screen, the destination has been set to Model #3. MAKE CERTAIN that this model setup is not one you wish to save, because when you copy the Model #1 set-up into Model #3, all data that was in Model #3 is replaced with the Model #1 data!At this point Model #3 data is still intact, so if you wish to change the destination for the copied data, do so before proceeding. Having selected both the data source (Model #1) and the desired destination (in this example Model #3), you can now proceed to confirm the copy function. The "YES" will be blinking. i Press the INC +/YES key to confirm your data copy function. The screen will change to the following screen to inform you that the process has been completed, and that Model #1 and Model #3 now have the same data, (in this example Model #1). i Press the END key to return to the CPY select screen. 26 SW-R (SWITCH REVERSE) The SW-R Function allows you to reverse the action of the five toggle switches located on your RD6000 Sport transmitter. If you change it from NOR (normal) to REV (reverse), all switches will be reversed in their action!To access the SW-R Function, select "etc" on the Channel indicator using either the (CH -) or the (CH +) key. ( Note that you must be on the STW screen to move horizontally across the screen to"etc") etc Press the FUNCTION down key to scroll down to the SW-R (switch reverse) screen. Now, press either the INC +/YES or the DEC -/NO key to change the indication from NOR to REV. Press END to return to the STW screen. 27 CLK (CLICK) The RD6000 Sport transmitter normally is set to emit an audio tone when ever the programming keys are pressed, when values are changed and when the stop watch function is started, stopped or reaches the final ten seconds of count-down. It is possible to disable the "Click" or audio tone, using software settings. When the "Click" tone is disabled, ONLY the stop watch count-down will still cause an audio tone to be emitted. [. . . ] To activate both C-Mix 1 and C-Mix 2 you must first change the (SW-R) from NOR (normal) to REV (reverse). REMEMBER: When you activate both C-Mix 1 and C-Mix 2, they both will be on all the time, there is no toggle switch to turn them off or on. Any number besides "0" in the percentage screen will cause the slave channel to move in either direction. Changing the SW-R (switch reverse) will also change the switch direction or both your Dual Rate switches and will reverse the direction of your Gear and Flap switches. [. . . ]
