Now you can use the “GPS” satellite positioning system to display interesting data from your model on the transmitter screen.
We have always wanted to know information such as the model’s airspeed, altitude, range or distance covered, and now - finally - we can record and display those values. The model’s direction of flight can also be called up using a variety of angle parameters.
Naturally it is possible to set individual warning thresholds on the GPS unit, as well as display various minimum, maximum and average values.
The following data is displayed as standard on the transmitter
screen or the Telemetry-Display:
• Speed (3D) in km/hr
• Altitude above launch point in metres (m)
• Range (3D) in metres (m) / distance
The basic functions of the MULTIPLEX GPS system can be used without further configuration in conjunction with ROYALevo / pro M-LINK transmitters, as well as transmitters fitted with the Telemetry-Display. If you are using a COCKPIT SX M-LINK transmitter, you must first select the Info-field.
The GPS sensor can be configured easily and conveniently to meet your personal requirements using the MULTImate (# 8 2094) or the “MULTIPLEX Launcher” PC program**
Configuration options with MULTImate or MULTIPLEX Launcher:
The address* for each value you wish to display
Speed
horizontal groundspeed (2D) in km/hr
velocity (3D) in km/hr
Lower alarm (off, or a speed in the range 0.0 km/hr to 700.0 km/hr)
Upper alarm (off, or a speed in the range 0.0 km/hr to 700.0 km/hr)
Option (maximum value, minimum value or average value)
Altitude above launch point in m
Lower alarm (off, or an altitude in the range -500 m to 2000 m)
Upper alarm (off, or an altitude in the range -500 m to 2000 m)
Option (maximum value, minimum value or average value)
Range
horizontal (2D) to launch point in Meter (m) / distance
in space (3D) to launch point in Meter (m) / distance
Lower alarm (off, or a distance in the range 0 m to 2000 m)
Upper alarm (off, or a distance in the range 0 m to 2000 m)
Option (maximum value, minimum value or average value)
Distance covered
2D = distance covered over ground in Meter (m) or km
3D = spatial distance covered in Meter (m) or km
Azimuth = angle from launch point to object in degrees, relative to North
Heading = model’s direction in degrees, relative to North (North = 0°)
Elongation = model’s direction in degrees, relative to launch point (right = 90°)
Model type = setting of actual model type, to suppress possible
