GRAUPNER mc-18, Programming Manual

PROFI-ULTRASOFT-MODULE  256k

2 

The Graupner PROFI-ULTRASOFT-Module 256k 
offers the modeller practically all currently imaginable 
functions for the operation of the most diverse types 
of sailplanes and powered models, including such 
complex ones as helicopters. The programs have 
been developed on the basis of practical experience, 
in close cooperation with renowned model flyers and, 
as a result leave barely anything to be desired even 
for, and in, hard contest environments. The clear, 
logical design of the various functions, however, 
enables even the less experienced model flyer to take 
advantage of these programs in everyday flying 
conditions and operation. 

The complexity of the program and their extreme 
specialisation on specific  model types require 
separating this programming manual into three 
sections: a general section which concerns all model 
types in like manner, another section for fixed-wing 
power models and sailplane models and a third one 
for helicopter models. Power models and sailplanes 
are named fixed-wing models here, to distinguish 
them from helicopter models. 

Fixed-wing model and helicopter sections are 
arranged in two parts each: the detailed description of 
the options, which may be called under their specific 
code numbers, plus a compilation of programming 
examples which can be used as they are presented 
here or modified to suit one’s own application 
requirements. 

The numbering of the options has been chosen to suit 
in-house technical deliberation. Their description, 
however, follows the sequential order in which they’ll 
normally be called when performing the setting-up 
process of a new model. 

The high flexibility of adaptability to individual 
requirements or demands of the operator necessitate 
the provision of specific allocations before calling and 
setting up the options depending on them. Thus the 
possibility of free allocation of the FUAL RATE 
switches necessitates – for example – the 
determination of this allocation, before the DUAL 
RATE values can be adjusted. The same holds true, 
in similar manner, for other options, in particular those 
of the helicopter programs. 

The beginner and less experienced model flyer will be 
advised to study and use the programming examples, 
as practically usable – adjustments can then be made 
in the shortest possible time, with the essential 
operational steps being learned at the same time. 
This applies to the helicopter gyro in particular, which 
is enabled to adjust a sensible selection of the 
extensive offering of the helicopter options, and to 
learn to use them in the process. However, the 
experienced R/C pilot will benefit as well in studying 
the programming examples thoroughly and practising 
the described adjustments, thereby getting familiar 
with the operation and handling of the transmitter. 

In order to spare the user cross-referencing and the 
bothersome turning of pages from one section to 
another, both the fixed-wing and helicopter sections 
contain descriptions of ALL available options, 
irrespective of whether descriptions have been 
published previously. This part of the text may appear 
several times in this manual, as this will help simplify 
the use of the 

MICRO COMPUTER EXPERT SYSTEM MC-18. 

Note: 
All functions of the PROFI-ULTRASOFT-MODUL are 
compatible with any of the MC-18 transmitters. With 
transmitters up to the ’88 series only seven models 
can be stored without back-up copy, however, 
Conversion from 7 to 30 models storage capacity can 
be performed by the Graupner Service.
