Configure OSD Display Menu
These menu items set options for OSD Display features.
•
Display Live or Max Values?: Determines whether live values, maximum value, or toggle between the live and max values, are displayed on the
main screen. If Max is selected, the maximum values (minimum voltage) encountered since the OSD Pro was powered are displayed all the time.
The Toggle option lets you review max values after your flight. If Toggle is selected, the display will toggle between live and max values, about
once a second, after the toggle trigger is exceeded, when the model is not moving. In Toggle mode, once the model’s speed has reached 12MPH
(or 12KPH) the toggle mode is triggered. Then, when the model’s speed has reduced to 4MPH (4KPH) and the model is within 500 feet (500M) of
the home position, the toggling between live and max values will start. There is an up arrow (or down arrow for voltage) displayed to the left of the
parameters, indicating they are the Maximum (Minimum) values. The maximum values of some parameters are not available, which is indicated
by an “*” for the value of that parameter.
•
Set Page Switch time (secs): If you have configured multiple pages of data parameters using the Windows Setup Utility, and wish to switch
between the pages of data every few seconds, set this parameter to the number of seconds between page switches. NOTE: In addition to this
option, toggling your radio’s Aux2/Select switch (if configured) when not in menu mode will cause the display page to advance to the next page.
•
Turn OSD Display ON or OFF: turns the main screen on or off. When off, no OSD information is visible, but alarms can be programmed to turn
the main screen back on. Also, voice announcements are still enabled when the main screen is off.
•
Set Horizontal Screen Shift: This setting lets you adjust the horizontal position of the OSD data on your video screen. Increasing this parameter
causes the OSD data to shift rightward on the screen.
•
Set Vertical Screen Shift: This setting lets you adjust the vertical position of the OSD data on your video screen. Increasing this parameter causes
the OSD data to shift downwardly on the screen.
•
Narrow Screen Mode: This setting compresses the OSD screen horizontally, decreasing the width. It does not affect the video width. Try this
option if your DVR or display does not let you see all of the OSD data, even after adjusting the horizontal screen shift.
•
Disable Inverse Text: The OSD Pro displays some text as inverse, to indicate alarm conditions, etc. If you find the inverse text hard to read, set
this option to YES.
•
Jump to Exit after change?: If this is set to YES, the menu cursor will jump to “Exit Menu” after a menu item is changed. If it’s set to NO, the
menu cursor advances to the next menu item.
•
On/Off Display with Select?: Set this to YES if you would like to turn the main display screen on and off, by toggling the Select switch (or
toggling the 3 position switch between middle and up positions if using radio stick input Option B) when not in menu mode. Note that using this
option would likely require the Aux2 channel to be dedicated to the OSD Pro, and not shared with other equipment, when not using a 3 position
switch. See “Configuring the OSD Pro
TM with the On-Screen Menus” section for more information.
•
Set OSD Text White Level: Adjusts the white level of the OSD Pro text and graphics. Normally, this does not need to be changed from the default
setting of “7.” However, if you see “white streaks” or other anomalies associated with the text display on your video screen, decreasing this value
may help.
•
Set OSD Text Black Level: Adjusts the black level of the OSD Pro text and graphics. Normally, this does not need to be changed from the default
setting of “4.” However, if you see “white streaks” or other anomalies associated with the text display on your video screen, increasing this value
may help.
