With the PCM Systems, you always have 1024 steps (or 2048 with the 14MZ) in your total travel. For example, from full "UP" elevator with full "UP" trim, to full "DOWN" elevator with full "DOWN" trim you have 1024 steps. This is the same whether you have the total throw at 100%, 80%, or 130%. With smaller percentages, the steps are smaller, but you still have 1024 steps.
So how does the reciever know to decode certain steps (those at 50% ATV) to less of a servo angle than other steps (those at 100% ATV)?

In other words, if I have ATV set to 50%, and send "1024" to the reciever (say full UP), how does it know to send half the pulse width to the servo (compared to the pulse width it would send to the servo if you had ATV set to 100%)

Thanks

That’s what I was having a hard time comprehending but apparently the RX must decode the change in step value!
