FAIL SAFE, On or Off. 2. Direction of Rotation. 3. Travel Speed (Slower). 4. Center, End, and FAIL SAFE Point. 5. Dead Band Width. 6. Soft Start. 7. “Save and Open” Parameter File. 8. Load Factory Default Parameter File.
DPC -10 Hitec Brushless Servo PC Programming Interface DPC-10 Software Operating Manual Basic Mode Connection RC Mode Connection RC Mode connection is useful when setting your servo parameters because it allows you to check the function with your radio just as if you were operating your model. You will still need to use your PC to perform the programming, but you will use your radio to check the functions. It is recommended that you connect your DPC-10 in the following order for proper operation: 1.

Soft Start Percentage 5. Center and End Points 6. FAIL SAFE, On or Off Note: To make your changes permanent you must “write” the programming to the servo by clicking the “WRITE ALL” button. You can do this after each programming step or wait until you have finished all programming.
DPC -10 Hitec Brushless Servo PC Programming Interface DPC-10 Software Operating Manual Travel Speed function will only slow a servo down. You cannot make a servo travel faster than its rated speed. You can adjust the servo’s travel speed in ten proportional steps from a minimum speed (10%) up to its maximum speed (100%).
DPC -10 Hitec Brushless Servo PC Programming Interface DPC-10 Software Operating Manual Center and End Point Adjustment Setting (EPA) NOTE: The numbers represented in the EPA adjustments are shown as percentages. With center at 0 and left and right endpoints at 100%, the servo will move approximately 100 degrees in each direction. It should also be noted that the left and right adjustment values will change if the center point is adjusted. The first setting is the center point.
