Hi David,
in response to your questions:
1. When you do a setup and have proven it in the model, you have to save it to the receiver for sure and optionally (as a backup) you can save it to your computer as well. In order to tell them apart you have to give the files (in the computer) unique names and in addition you can add a photo of the plane on the info page. The photo should be located in the same file as the configuration file. You can open an existing configuration on the computer without being connected to the receiver. You can edit and do changes but do not see the effect until you connect to the receiver. Then you can check out the changes, tweak them and save them to the receiver and the computer as well. This way you can actually set up different configurations and if you take the computer along to the flying field quickly change and try out the different versions until you find what you want.
2. When you connect to a receiver that you want to do changes to, you can either have a program already open in the computer and check it when you connect, or you upload the program from the receiver every time you connect, do the changes you want, verify them in the model and make sure to save them to the receiver before disconnecting. You can save the program to the computer at any time before or after you have saved the setup to the receiver.
3. The terminology for saving to the computer is “load settings” and “store setting” while the terminology for the receiver is “read (all) settings” and “save configuration”. The SD-card is as you stated correctly for loading a new firmware and to store flight log files and make them available for analysis in the computer.
4. You can use synch only when you have two or more servos on the same surface with the servos running the same direction. They should also be close (5% as in the manual) to each other on the movements. Then you master slave them and synchronize them while you save the configuration to the receiver. (servo settings page bottom right) Please read more detail on the procedure in the manual. You can use the master slave setting to copy a curve from one servo to another though. You can master / slave the two elevator servos for example and have a curve in the master servo. After unselecting the master / slave relationship you still have the same curve on the second servo, which you can now reverse, change the center by moving the curve and or adjusting the endpoints as well. (Also see pages 22 to 25 of the current manual)
5. I don’t know how to program the 10X. The manual is available online on the Futaba website.
6. You dedicate a switch channel for the learn failsafe function (second from far right column), select the channels that you want to save the selection to L in the far right column, check the up / down orientation of the switch and go fly with the switch in the “up” position. When stable flight for Failsafe “learn” is achieved, switch back to middle position, which keeps that setting as the learned position. In flight or after landing you can check the positions by selecting to down position which will simulate a failsafe event. If satisfied, connect the receiver to the computer and with a right click of the mouse on the channel for failsafe learn will permanently store the settings learned and be acknowledged by changing the L’s in the far right columns to F. You can at any time go in and correct these values if desired. See more detail on pages 25 and 26 of the current manual.
Hope this helps,
Gerhard
