'''Saving changes manually/automatically'''<br />
If you change a value then this will not be stored instantly on the device. But if the "Save changes manually" box on the bottom of the window is NOT selected, changed values are collected and stored automatically after a short amount of time when no more values are changed. On the other hand if you decide to "Save changes manually", new values will only get collected and you can control the moment when to store these values by pressing the "Save now" button or rolling back using the "Undo" button.<br />

The layout of the Setup Overview tab is based on the Setup menu structure of MICROBEAST PLUS and looks quite similar to the Quick Reference Card which you did get with your device. This makes it easy to check and modify most parts of the setup.<br />

Besides of the predefined presets MICROBEAST PLUS allows to create a custom preset which you can choose instead of the predefined presets, i.e. if you need to set a value which is not offered by the existing presets. Please note that it is not sufficient to adjust the preset value! You also must choose the custom preset in the menu structure so MICROBEAST PLUS will use this value instead of one of the predefined presets.<br />

For a detailed explanation of the parameter adjustment please consult the MICROBEAST PLUS instruction manual that matches the firmware version of your device. If you hover the mouse cursor over the name of a parameter you will get a brief information what this parameter does. Also you can see which numbers are hidden behind specific designations (like "sport", "normal", "high", ...) when you keep the mouse cursor over these parameter points for a short moment. So you can find out which value you should start with when you want to create a custom preset.<br />

You also must choose the custom preset in the menu structure so MICROBEAST PLUS will use this value instead of one of the predefined presets.

You can define roll rate and expo for each roation axis. Positive expo values will tame down reaction to stick inputs around the stick center position, negative expo values will intensify the reaction around center position. Please be careful when reducing expo and/or increasing roll rate as this can make the helicopter uncontrollable for you. As a starting point for setup please see what is hidden behind the predefined presets by hovering with the mouse cursor of the different preset values in the "Parameter Overview".<br />
