Calibrating Throttle Movement

It is not absolutely necessary to calibrate the throttle function. The advantages of calibration are that the throttle gauge and graphs

will range from zero (closed throttle) to approximately 210 (maximum throttle), as you move your throttle between its extremes. If

you do not calibrate, the throttle gauge and graphs will still show throttle movement, but the graph could be inverted if you have the

throttle servo reversed, and will not go from zero to 210.

To calibrate the throttle with your model, first connect the throttle Y cable as described above, and connect the eLogger to your PC

via the USB cable. Then, click “Calibration, Calibrate Throttle.” The Calibrate Throttle Wizard will then explain the calibration

procedure.

Using the eLogger

Once the eLogger and application is installed, it’s almost time to operate! Please read the important information below on

eLogger operation before using it at the field in your model.

It is extremely unlikely that the eLogger unit will affect your model’s radio range. But, as always after making an electronics change

to your model, it is very important that you range and function test your model once the eLogger is installed to ensure that there is no

impact on your system. Make sure that your “antenna down” operating range is within the manufacturer’s specifications. See your

Radio owner’s manual for the correct procedure for your equipment. DO NOT OPERATE IF YOUR MODEL DOESN’T PASS

THE ANTENNA DOWN RANGE CHECK.

Additionally, you need to make sure that your Model’s power system is working correctly after adding any new hardware in-line, like

the eLogger. This is especially critical in high amperage/voltage installations, of course. It’s important that you safely run your

model in an extended stationary “bench” test, similar in duration and power usage to your most aggressive modeling, to ensure there

are no problems with any connections, etc. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR MODEL IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS DURING THIS

EXTENDED STATIONARY TEST!

The eLogger’s LED

The eLogger’s LED indicates the device’s status.

Once the eLogger is powered up in your model, it will repeatedly flash a sequence of one, two or three flashes every second or so.

This flash rate is longer or shorter depending on the capture rate. This flashing indicates the following:

One Flash - The eLogger is actively recording. This is the normal power-up state.

Two Flashes – The eLogger’s buffer is full, or you have enabled logging triggers and the logger is not yet triggered. Note that the

eLogger will pause when the buffer is full only if you have selected the “stop on full” mode described above, when the memory is

filled to capacity with data.

Three Flashes – The eLogger is connected to your PC’s USB connector, and has been recognized by the PC.

After Your Recording Session

After operating your model with the eLogger, you can either remove the eLogger from your model and take it to your PC, bring the

model with the eLogger still in it to your PC, or (if you’re lucky) use a Laptop and connect to the eLogger in the field.

After you connect the eLogger to your PC’s USB interface, the LED should indicate USB connectivity with three repeating flashes as

described above.

Once the eLogger is connected, launch the Application and click on the “Download” button. This will load the eLogger’s Data

Buffer into the Application for playback and saving.

Use the play controls to play back the data. Note that the Slider can be dragged with the mouse by clicking and holding it then

moving it to the desired position.

The application displays the following information:

• Notifications – this window displays messages about the recording. The three most common messages are:
