RCU Forums - Almost lost my setups...

Hi Edgar,
Happy new year!
The "store settings" button on the "info" page is meant as a backup for you on your computer. That way you can save a dictionary of different setups for different models or even setups of a single model. You can relate a picture by placing and loading the picture picture in the same file folder where you store the setup. This will allow you to work on the setup even if you are not connected to the receiver. This way you can do several different setups in which you can have different settings. You just have to make sure that you name them different when you store them and perform the testing on the model at a different time.
When you connect to the receiver, the program will give you all the info of the receiver that you see on the info page.
At this point the receiver will be reacting to the settings that are displayed on the settings page.
Only when you initiate "read settings", will it retrieve the settings from the receiver, overwrite the settings that appear on the settings page in the computer program and display the current status that you have in the receiver.
If you hit the save settings, before you read the program from the receiver, it will overwrite the settings that you had stored on the receiver. This would be the case when you want to switch a program to install it in a different model or if you want to try different settings on the same model.
You can for example have different settings that you want to try out in one model. It can be variations of mixtures that you are using with the transmitter or other settings that you want to experiment with. Once you have dialed them in with the model at home. you can go out to the field and conduct your flight tests.
The only thing you need on the field is to have the computer with the USB cable.
When you are ready to try the next program, you only need to connect to the receiver, retrieve the settings that you want to use from your computer through the "load settings" on the info page and hit the "save configuration" button on the "servo settings" page, which transfers the settings to the receiver. If you also have a new setup in the transmitter, you just have to make sure that you have the settings switched in the transmitter as well.
It takes less than a minute to perform this task.
This is a very nice feature that can be used for aerobatic setups that you want to go through several different setups.
I will also put this down on a flow diagram and publish it on my website sometime soon.
I hope I have pointed out how you have to handle your files and which button does what. Also please refer to the manual when in doubt or ask me here.

Thanks,

Gerhard
