14 MZ/FX40 Update & Model Data Convertor Software

[skaluf]

Futaba has just released an update for the 14MZ and the FX 40. This
software update contains several very important updates for the
T14MZ transmitter.

Futaba Model Data Converter-
Also, we now have a tool to allow you to convert model data between
the 12FG, 12Z and 14MZ! The application is very easy to use and
works well.

Both the update and the application are available at futaba-rc.com

Update for transmitter-
Power-Down Refinement: TM-14 Transmitter Module-

When using the TM-14 FASST transmitter module in the power-down mode,
this update will provide you with an additional visual indicator to
ensure that you do not attempt to take-off while the RF output is in
the weakened (range check) state.

Previously the LED in the Futaba logo at the top of the transmitter
would remain solid green, thus indicating the typical RF output. The
LED now blinks, or flashes, when it is in the powered-down mode
providing you with another safety indicator to ensure that you enjoy
your modeling experience.


Futaba Model Data Converter-

To support the Futaba Model Data Converter, it is necessary to update
the T14MZ to version 1.3.2. After the update is applied to the
transmitter, the model memory will automatically update the necessary
data files in order to be useable with the Futaba Model Data
Converter.

The Futaba Model Data Converter is designed to allow
modelers to quickly and efficiently share data between various Futaba
transmitters that utilize either an SD or CF memory card. For
example, it is now possible to copy the model data from a T14MZ
transmitter and utilize this data on Futaba's T12FG system without
having to manually reprogram the 12FG to do so.

If I'm just running the 72 band, will this update have any effect? Thanks
