USER GUIDE

Here is a description of this menu:
Readout Name: When this item is highlighted, moving the aileron stick left and right lets you select the
readout you want to modify. Once you have selected the desired readout, move the elevator stick down to
move to the next menu items. See section 10 for a description of all readouts.
Set Up Gauge/Swatch: This brings up the Gauge and Swatch Setup menu, described below.
Onscreen Label: Option lets you change the label displayed to the left of the readout, on the OSD screen. To
edit, move the aileron stick right to begin. Then, moving the aileron stick left or right lets you select the
position you want to edit, and moving the elevator stick up or down lets you select the character to display in
that position. Note that some readouts let you optionally display an icon for the readout in the first position.
Display parameter as: This item lets you select the display mode of the readout, as Text, Gauge, Swatch, or
Swatch with Text. See the Gauge and Swatch section below.
Show on Scrns: This item lets you select which screens (1 through 6, or a combination thereof) on which this
readout will display.
Display on which Row: The Vector’s numeric readout display consists of 5 columns (from left to right) and 4
rows (from top to bottom), letting you display a total of 20 numeric readouts on each screen. Rows 1 and 2 are
at the top of the OSD display, and rows 3 and 4 are at the bottom of the display. This menu item lets you select
the row where this readout will be located.
Display on which Column: This item lets you select the column on the OSD display where this readout will be
located.
If you select a screen, row and column for a readout that conflicts with another previously configured
readout, an error listing the name of the conflicting readout will display at the bottom of the menu screen, and
“Show on Scrns” will be forced to “None”.
If you are setting up many readouts on multiple screens, you can either draw the desired screens ahead
of time on a piece of paper with row/column grids and use that as a setup guide, or use the software for
configuration.
Alarm Type for Readout: If you would like to set an alarm for this readout, first decide whether you want the
alarm to be a high alarm (alarm will trigger if the readout’s value is higher than the alarm threshold, such as
with distance or altitude), or a low alarm (alarm will trigger if the readout’s value is below the alarm threshold,
such as with voltages). Then, set the item accordingly.
Alarm Trigger Threshold: This item lets you set the point at which the alarm will trigger for the readout (see
above).
Alarm Msg: This item lets you program a custom text message that will appear in the notification area when
the alarm for this readout (if set) is triggered. See the “Onscreen label” item above for instructions on how to
use the sticks to edit the message.
Switch to Screen if Alarm?: If you have set up multiple screens of readouts, setting this item to “Yes” will
cause the OSD to switch to the screen containing this readout, when an alarm for it is triggered.
Speak Readout if Alarm?: Setting this item to “Yes” will cause the readout to be spoken via the Vector’s audio
output, when the alarm triggers.
Periodically Speak Value: Setting this item to “Yes” will cause the readout to be spoken periodically via the
Vector’s audio output (interval selected below).
Speech Interval in Seconds: This item chooses the interval between speaking this readout’s value (maximum
107 seconds). If you want this readout to be spoken once a minute, set this item to 60.
