Test Stick¶
This menu is used to generate stick inputs that are introduced in the system. This is a way to check how the system behaves when a stick commands enters in the autopilot. For each channel, the user can set a continuos movement formed for example by a sine wave, spike-like funcion or a rectangular function. There are a set of parameters to be modified for the signals.
