PROGRAMMING YOUR PRO FLIGHT CONTROLLER WITH SMART TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

INTRODUCING SMART TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

Smart Technology (ST) Programming Software is the software supplied to conﬁ gure your controller for enhanced functionality. ST delivers a powerful set of features, allowing you to program your device with the ultimate conﬁ guration for total interaction. Despite a level of sophistication previously unseen in the market, the software remains simple and intuitive to use.

FEATURES OF SMART TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE:

• Quick and easy setup in any game

• Personalize the controller settings for your favorite games

• Conﬁ gure your controller with an on-screen, high resolution model and interface

• Multiple setup options for each controller - ideal if a controller is used by several people

• Program special moves with sophisticated timing features

• Special game setups available as “Proﬁ les” from the Saitek website and on the Smart Technology CD

• Download the latest version of Smart Technology Programming Software from the Saitek website

RUNNING THE SMART TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

A. Click on Start, then All Programs, and then look for Smart Technology in your list of programs. Click on this and under this heading you will see another heading with an icon saying Proﬁ le Editor. Click on this and the Smart Technology software will open up. B. Look on your desktop for the Smart Technology icon. Once found, double-click and the Smart Technology software will load.

TPM_manual.indd 9TPM_manual.indd 9 10-11-19 4:3710-11-19 4:37

C. Right-click the controller icon next to your clock, and click Proﬁ le Editor from the list.

Once the ST software has opened, you will be presented with a “tip” screen (if it’s the ﬁ rst time you have run the software). This screen gives useful information pertaining to the proﬁ le software. If you do not wish to see this screen when you start the ST software, uncheck the small check box in the corner of the tip screen. The tip box can be closed by clicking on the OK icon in the bottom right corner. You can get the tip box back by going to the support tab and clicking on SHOW STARTUP TIPS PAGE.

PRODUCT

The product page is the main screen that appears when the Smart Technology software is ﬁ rst opened (as shown above). Any Pro Flight hardware connected to your computer will be automatically detected and displayed on this screen. Since they are always ﬁ rst in the list of connected hardware, the Pro Flight Rudder Pedals will always appear in the software’s product page, although no Pro Flight hardware is physically connected to your computer.

PROGRAMMING

From the programming tab, you can mimic your controller to directly copy any of the keyboard commands that are used in your favorite games. The commands are then saved in what we call a Proﬁ le. When you click on the programming tab, you will be presented with a high resolution image of the controller you are going to program on the left, and going down the right side of the screen you will see a list of command boxes called “Cells.” For a detailed guide on the programming, go to the support tab and click READ PROGRAMMING MANUAL.

SUPPORT

From the support tab, you can access the following features by clicking on them.
