No.
the cortex is simply looking for a certain PW value for Gain, so you just need to set up the throws and switch for that gain channel to be the correct direction that gives Red light for off, and Orange for attitude values.. It doesn't know whats being input to it, just reports it. Its been too long since I used an 18, but I did use the gyro function, I think I disabled the 1500-2100 Usec side of the gain, IE the plus side.
