After receiver scan and function assignment the Menu Point '''M''' will open, in case you're using a Spektrum® SRXL2 or JETI® EXBUS radio system. If needed you can directly get to this screen without changing your basic radio setup by clicking the button "Telemetry" in overview screen of RECEIVER MENU.<br />

In case you're using a receiver with telemetry capability, you can change the telemetry parameters at menu points '''L''' and '''M'''. If needed, you can directly skip to these parameters without scanning receiver type and assigning functions at RECEIVER MENU points '''A''' and '''B''' by pushing and holding the button for at least 2 seconds at menu points '''A''' or '''B'''.<br />

'''There are some additional settings for telemetry available:'''<br />
 
* In GOVERNOR MENU you can use the '''signal divider''' and '''gear ratio''' adjustment to calculate the rotor head speed from the incoming motor speed. Most ESCs will send the electrical motor speed on the telemetry channel only, so you must divide the motor speed by the number of magnet pole pairs and by the main gear ratio of your helicopter, in order to display the rotor speed. See [[Manuals:MBPlusFblV52:Governormenu_E/en|GOVERNOR MENU E]] and [[Manuals:MBPlusFblV52:Governormenu_E/en|GOVERNOR MENU F]] for more details.

* Some ESC do not calculate the current consumption (Hobbywing®, Kontronik® Jive). Here MICROBEAST PLUS will do the work and calculate the current consumption using the instant current values. Anyhow, results may vary as speed controllers usually measure the motor current but not the battery current. So we added the parameter '''Capacity correction''' which allows to compensate the offset. I.e. when telemetry shows 3600mAh of current consumption, but in reality you did charge 4000mAh back into your battery after the flight, you can increase the Current correction by 10% to 110 in order to get proper reading the next time. Please note this very special value can only be set by using StudioX!<br />

Connect the control wire of your OMP ESC to port [DI1]. Connect the pin labeled with "TX" from the ESC to the port [CH5] using a single servo wire with plugs on both sides. Optionaly you can connect the yellow wire for measuring the motor speed to the [RPM] input at MICROBEAST PLUS, so that it is out of the way. For telemetry transmission it is not needed as the data will be included in the telemetry signal!<br />

Make sure the ESC is sending data with OMP telemetry data protocol. This is the factory setting of the ESC. Do not change the protocol to "SBUS2" or other! MICROBEAST PLUS will convert the data into your radio's protocol as needed.
