There are two modes of operation. The first supports adjusting settings by incrementing/decrementing them through use of an aux channel, typically a three position switch, where the middle position makes no change, and the other positions either increment or decrement the selected setting.
The other mode is Absolute mode where a pot (knob/slider) may be directly mapped and changes the selected setting to a value based on a center value, coresponding to mid-postion on the pot and a range of ± adjustment at the min/max positions of the pot.
Both modes utilise two channels to make an adjustment.
| Channel | Use |
| ------- | --- |
| Range | This channel is used to enable an adjustment. When the channel is set to fall withing the specified range, then the corresponding adjustment is enabled. This is similar to mode setting where a given mode is enabled when a channel is within a lower and upper range. |
| Adjustment | This channel is used to control the change to the specified setting|
Settings are not saved automatically, connect a GUI, refresh and save or save using stick position when disarmed.
Powering off without saving will discard the adjustments.
Settings can be saved when disarmed using stick positions: Throttle Low, Yaw Left, Pitch Low, Roll Right.
The Adjustment switch is associated with the Adjustment Channel. The switch can be a ON-OFF-ON, POT or momentary ON-OFF-ON switch. The latter is recommended.
When the switch is returned to the center position the value will not be increased/decreased.
Each time you can press the switch high/low and then return it to the middle the value will change at least once, you do not have to wait before pressing the switch again if you want to increase/decrease at a faster rate. While the adjustment switch held is high/low, the adjustment function applies and increases/decreases the value being adjusted twice a second and the flight controller will beep shorter/longer, respectively. The system works similar to how a keyboard repeat delay works.
Hint: With OpenTX transmitters you can combine two momentary OFF-ON switches to control a single channel. You could make it so that a momentary switch on the left of your transmitter decreases the value and a momentary switch on the right increases the value. Experiment with your mixer!
The adjustment is made where the Adjustment Channel is an Aux channel connected to a pot (knob/slider). This provides an easier approach than using the Increment/Decrement mode as it is easier to keep track of the setting.
Note that if the same pot is used as the Adjustment Channel to make multiple adjustments, there is a risk of a jump in values of the second setting when switching from the first if the pot is not centered. To avoid this it is recommended that if adjusting two different settings using the same pot, a three position switch be used for the Range Channel, with neither setting associated with the middle position.
| Center Value | If this is non-zero then Absolute Mode is used for this range otherwise Increment/Decrement Mode is used. In Absolute Mode this value is the value which will be assigned to the setting when the Adjustment Channel is set to mid-position. |
| Scale Value | This specifies the amount that will be subtracted/added to the center value when the Adjustment Channel is at min/max respectively. |
Range Start/End values should match the values sent by your receiver.
Normally Range Channel and Slot values are grouped together over multiple adjustment ranges.
The Range Channel and the Adjustment Channel can be the same channel. This is useful when you want a single 3 Position switch to be dedicated
to a single adjustment function regardless of other switch positions.
The adjustment function is applied to the adjustment channel when range channel is between the range values.
The adjustment is made when the adjustment channel is in the high or low position. high = mid_rc + 200, low = mid_rc - 200. by default this is 1700 and 1300 respectively.
When the Range Channel does not fall into Start/End range the assigned slot will retain it's state and will continue to apply the adjustment. For
this reason ensure that you define enough ranges to cover the range channel's usable range.

## Examples
### Example 1 - 3 Position switch used to adjust pitch/roll rate
### Example 5 - Use a single switch to enable absolute setting of Roll/Pitch P terms from two pots
```
adjrange 0 0 4 1450 1550 18 0 40 10
adjrange 1 0 4 1450 1550 15 1 58 20
```
explained:
* note that Center value is non-zero, so this range will use absolute mode.
* configure adjrange 0 so that when aux5 (3) in the range 1450-1550 then use aux 1 (0) to adjust Roll P Adjustment (18) such that the value will be 40 with the pot centered and 30/50 at min/max.
* configure adjrange 1 so that when aux5 (3) in the range 1450-1550 then use aux 2 (0) to adjust Pitch P Adjustment (15) such that the value will be 58 with the pot centered and 38/78 at min/max.
### Example 6 - Use a single switch to enable absolute setting of Roll/Pitch P/I/D terms from three pots, selected using a single switch
```
adjrange 0 0 4 950 1050 18 0 40 20
adjrange 1 0 4 950 1050 19 1 107 53
adjrange 2 0 4 950 1050 20 2 76 38
adjrange 3 0 4 1950 2050 15 0 63 16
adjrange 4 0 4 1950 2050 16 1 138 69
adjrange 5 0 4 1950 2050 17 2 66 33
```
explained:
* note that Center value is non-zero, so this range will use absolute mode.
This assigns pots aux 1, aux 2, and aux 3 respectively to control P, I and D settings with the pots at mid-position giving the default P/I/D values and providing a range of adjustment of +/- 50%. When the aux 5 switch is in one end position then roll P/I/D will be adjusted and when the aux 5 switch is in the other end position, pitch P/I/D will be adjusted. In the aux 5 switch middle position nether will be adjusted. Thus one could center the pots, select roll on aux 5 and then adjust the P/I/D values in flight. Then land, move the aux 5 switch to center, center the pots, select pitch on the switch and then again adjust P/I/D in flight.
Note that the configurator does not currently support the Center/Scale values, however it may still be used to setup the ranges and then the CLI may be used to set the Center/Scale values.
