| 7 | +The top section displays the vehicle's actuator geometry, dynamically generated from the mixer configuration. For multirotor vehicles, an SVG diagram shows motor positions — you can click individual motors to select them. Each actuator channel has configurable parameters such as position offsets and tilt angles. |

| 13 | +- **Function** — assign each output to a motor, servo, or other function |
| 14 | +- **Min / Max** — PWM or DShot output range limits |
| 15 | +- **Failsafe** — output value when failsafe is triggered |
| 16 | +- **Disarmed** — output value when the vehicle is disarmed |

| 24 | +With the safety switch toggled, individual actuator sliders appear for testing each channel. An optional **All Motors** slider allows spinning all motors simultaneously at low throttle for verification. |

| 26 | +## Actuator Actions |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Dynamic action buttons (e.g., beep, identify, 3D mode) are shown based on the vehicle's actuator configuration. The **motor identification** feature spins motors one at a time to verify correct wiring and rotation direction. |
