This includes all transmitters with a module bay or a trainer port. It supports up to 16 channels from a PPM frame in the normal or inverted format (sometimes called positive or negative format in some transmitters). If you want the best performance you can set the number of channels and framerate corresponding to the number of channels of the specific receiver/model. -##PPM Connections +## PPM Connections If you do not have a module bay, there are only three wires you need to connect to get PPM to work.

Enable the default Tx mode to be AETR. If you do not want to change the default channel order on your Tx you must remember to change the channel order for each new model using the module to AETR under the Model Mixer menu. (**This is really important - this is for all protocols - even for DSM as the MULTI-module firware will change the transmitted channel order according to the protocol.**) 1. The default PPM settings is 8 channels with a frame period of 22.5 ms (sometimes called the frame rate). If you want to optimize performance you should change the channels to the actual number of channels required by your model. The corresponding frame period should be set to (number of channels + 1) * 2.5 ms.
