# System Settings
## **Setup Menu**
The **Setup Menu** allows users to configure critical safety settings, actuator checks, encoder parameters, and other essential system behaviors.
#### Online-Bt
* The **online switch** can be configured either as a **switch** or a **push button** to actively control the system connection.
### **Emergency Settings**
#### **Emergency State**
Defines how the motors react when the **emergency stop** is activated. Carefully adjust this setting, as your **safety depends on it**:
* **Power off**
* The **servos are turned off**, and the rig will **fall to the lowest position**.
* Homing is performed when power is restored.
* **Hold Power (default, check before use !!)**
* The **servos remain powered but stationary**, keeping the platform in its **current position**.
* Homing is performed when power is restored.
* **Keep Online**
* The **servos remain powered and hold position**, **no homing is required** when reactivating.
* The system **resumes the previous movement** and transitions smoothly back to active motion.
* ⚠ **Warning:** If an error occurs, homing data may be lost, potentially causing the actuators to **move to their mechanical limits, leading to damage**.
#### **Emergency NC (Normally Closed)**
* Selects whether the **emergency stop switch** operates in **normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC)** mode.
***
### **Actuator Configuration**
#### **Actuator Check**
* Verifies the status of **all connected actuators** when the servomotors are online.
* If an issue is detected, the **controller stops sending signals** to prevent further movement.
🔹 **Important:**
* **All motor connections must be sequentially occupied** (e.g., ports **1-4 must be used without skipping numbers**).
* If, for example, **ports 1-3 and 5 are occupied (skipping 4), an error will occur** when "Actuator Check" is enabled.
* Once the issue is resolved, the actuators will **automatically** recover and **Startmenu** is activated
#### **Encoder Direction**
* Some encoders (e.g., **handheld encoders**) may send **inverted signals**.
* This option **reverses the direction of encoder signals** if necessary.
***
### **Pin Configuration (Extra01)**
Configures the function of the **Extra01 Pin**, with the following options:
* **Nothing** – No function assigned.
* **Servo Brake NC** – Engages the **servo brake** in a **normally closed** state.
* **Servo Brake NO** – Engages the **servo brake** in a **normally open** state.
* **Send Clock** – Outputs a **pulse every 1ms**.
#### **Brake Delay**
* Sets the **delay time (in ms)** for activating the **brake relay**.
* Default: **50ms**.
#### **Servo Enable**
* Changes the **pin state from HIGH to LOW** for the **servo enable signal**.
***
### **Gain and Positioning**
#### **Mastergain Max**
* Defines the **maximum value** for **Mastergain**.
* Do no use more then 100% in Position mode it can damage your Rig !!
#### **Mastergain Enable**
* **ON**: Allows **adjustments to the Mastergain value**.
* **OFF**: Prevents changes to Mastergain.
#### **Online Position**
* Sets the **standby position** in **percentage (%).**
* When switching **online**, the system first **moves to this standby position** before transitioning into motion.
* **Recommended setting: 50% (midpoint of actuator travel)** for smoother transitions.
* **Setting this to 0%** will cause the rig to enter motion **immediately after activation**.
#### **Transition Speed**
* Controls the **speed of the transition from standby to active motion** ("morphing into motion").
***
### **Runtime Settings**
#### **Online Time**
* **Operational runtime counter**.
* Can be **reset by holding the USR button for >12 seconds**.
#### **Online Counter**
* **ON**: The **runtime counter is active**.
* **OFF**: Disables the counter.\
⚠ **Note:** Frequent use may cause **display issues** as the counter is **stored in Flash memory**, potentially leading to memory degradation over time.
#### **Timeout**
* **Automatically powers off servomotors after inactivity**.
* Options: **OFF, 10 minutes – 120 minutes**.
***
### **SRS Support Mode**
#### **SRS Supp.**
* **Enables native USB "Flashport" emulation as an FTDI USB chip**.
* Allows **automatic connection with SRS (Sim Racing Studio)**.
* **⚠ Warning:**
* In this mode, the **resolution is significantly reduced**.
* The **FTDI driver will not work with this emulation**.
* A **manual driver installation is required** in Windows.
**Steps to Install the Correct Driver for SRS Mode**
1. **Enable "SRS Supp."** in the **Setup Menu**.
2. **Save the settings** and **restart the controller**.
3. **After restarting, Windows will detect a faulty "USB Serial Converter."**
1. **Manually install a new driver** in **Device Manager**:
* Select **"Update Driver"** → **"Browse my computer for drivers"** → **"Let me pick from a list"** → **Select "Serial USB Device."**\
2. **Once installed, this mode will work with SRS, FlyPT Mover, and the dashboard.**
***
#### **Multi**
* **See "Multi" configuration section above**.
