Configure Sensors and Units
The Configure Sensors and Units menu has the following items:
•
Use Baro Alt for RTH/Ladder: Set this item to YES only if you have a barometric altimeter (either the Altimeter Microsensor, or a Flight Data
Recorder). When set to YES, the barometric altimeter will be used for the altitude ladder, the acoustic variometer, and for the Return to Home
altitude input. Set this item to NO if you are using GPS for altitude measurement.
•
Use Pitot Spd for RTH/Ladder: Set this item to YES only if you have a pitot/static airspeed sensor (either the Airspeed Microsensor, or a Flight
Data Recorder). When set to YES, the pitot/static airspeed will be used for the airspeed ladder, the Total Energy function of the acoustic
variometer, and for the Return to Home airspeed input. Set this item to NO if you are using GPS for ground speed measurement.
•
Use Temp 1 Input for RSSI: This advanced feature indicates to the OSD Pro that you have connected the analog RSSI output of your compatible
receiver to the center pin of the “Temperature 1” connector on your eLogger or Recorder. When you configure the OSD Pro to display the
“Temperature Sensor A” parameter, it will not be converted to a temperature if this option is set. Please see the “RSSI” section earlier in the
manual for more information.
•
Use Temp2 Input for VoltageB: This menu item, when set to “Yes”, tells the OSD Pro that the Temperature 2 input on the eLogger will be used
to measure secondary voltage B. See the Graphical Battery Displays section of the manual above for more information.
•
Set Voltage B Minimum: This menu item lets you set the minimum voltage for the secondary graphical battery voltage B display. The graphical
battery B will show empty when this voltage is reached. See the Graphical Battery Displays section of the manual above for more information.
•
Set Voltage B Maximum: This menu item lets you set the maximum voltage for the secondary graphical battery voltage B display. The graphical
battery B will show full when this voltage is reached. See the Graphical Battery Displays section of the manual above for more information.
•
Use Temp3 Input for VoltageC: This menu item, when set to “Yes”, tells the OSD Pro that the Temperature 3 input on the eLogger will be used to
measure secondary voltage C. See the Graphical Battery Displays section of the manual above for more information.
•
Set Voltage C Minimum: This menu item lets you set the minimum voltage for the secondary graphical battery voltage B display. The graphical
battery C will show empty when this voltage is reached. See the Graphical Battery Displays section of the manual above for more information.
•
Set Voltage C Maximum: This menu item lets you set the minimum voltage for the secondary graphical battery voltage B display. The graphical
battery C will show full when this voltage is reached. See the Graphical Battery Displays section of the manual above for more information.
• AHI Cal Wizard (non-Guardian): This menu option lets you calibrate your artificial horizon display, when used with the FMA Co-Pilot CPD 4
sensor, or the equivalent. Do not run this wizard if you use the Guardian! Information on how to connect the FMA Direct sensor to the OSD Pro system,
and configure the Artificial Horizon display, can be found in this document: http://www.eagletreesystems.com/support/manuals/FMA-OSD-
Pro.pdf
•
Enable low altitude RTH: This menu option , when set to “Yes,” defeats the OSD’s automatic disabling of RTH throttle control below about 60
feet (20 m). Since enabling this option increases the likelihood that RTH will inadvertently activate your throttle on the ground, it should be used
with extreme caution! See the “Safety Mode Overview” for more information.
•
Units for all Speeds: Normally, all speeds (GPS, pitot/static) are displayed in the default units, chosen under “Software, Choose Units of Measure”
in the software. But, this option lets you override the default setting. For example, use this option if you want to set the default units to metric, but
want speed in MPH or knots. Choose “Default” for this option if you want the default units to be used (MPH or km/h).
•
Units for all Distances: Normally, all distances (distance to home, distance to waypoint, and RADAR radius) are displayed in the default units,
chosen under “Software, Choose Units of Measure” in the software. But, this option lets you override the default setting. For example, use this
option if you want to set the default units to metric, but want distances displayed in feet. Choose “Default” for this option if you want the default
units to be used (feet or meters).
•
Units for all Altitudes: Normally, all altitudes (GPS, barometric) are displayed in the default units, chosen under “Software, Choose Units of
Measure” in the software. But, this option lets you override the default setting. For example, use this option if you want to set the default units to
metric, but want altitudes displayed in feet. Choose “Default” for this option if you want the default units to be used (feet or meters).
