This defines the latency between a step input and the achieved setpoint

Minimum descent rate
This is the sink rate of the aircraft with the throttle

to measure FW_T_CLMB_MAX.
Maximum descent rate
This sets the maximum descent rate that the controller will use.
If this value is too large, the aircraft can over-speed on descent.
This should be set to a value that can be achieved without
exceeding the lower pitch angle limit and without over-speeding
the aircraft.
TECS time constant
This is the time constant of the TECS control algorithm (in seconds).
Smaller values make it faster to respond, larger values make it slower
to respond.
TECS Throttle time constant
This is the time constant of the TECS throttle control algorithm (in seconds).
Smaller values make it faster to respond, larger values make it slower
to respond.
Throttle damping factor
This is the damping gain for the throttle demand loop.
Increase to add damping to correct for oscillations in speed and height.
Integrator gain
This is the integrator gain on the control loop.
Increasing this gain increases the speed at which speed
and height offsets are trimmed out, but reduces damping and
increases overshoot.
Maximum vertical acceleration
This is the maximum vertical acceleration (in metres/second square)
either up or down that the controller will use to correct speed
or height errors. The default value of 7 m/s/s (equivalent to +- 0.7 g)
allows for reasonably aggressive pitch changes if required to recover
from under-speed conditions.
Complementary filter "omega" parameter for height
This is the cross-over frequency (in radians/second) of the complementary
filter used to fuse vertical acceleration and barometric height to obtain
an estimate of height rate and height. Increasing this frequency weights
the solution more towards use of the barometer, whilst reducing it weights
the solution more towards use of the accelerometer data.
Complementary filter "omega" parameter for speed
This is the cross-over frequency (in radians/second) of the complementary
filter used to fuse longitudinal acceleration and airspeed to obtain an
improved airspeed estimate. Increasing this frequency weights the solution
more towards use of the arispeed sensor, whilst reducing it weights the
solution more towards use of the accelerometer data.
Roll -> Throttle feedforward
Increasing this gain turn increases the amount of throttle that will
be used to compensate for the additional drag created by turning.
Ideally this should be set to approximately 10 x the extra sink rate
in m/s created by a 45 degree bank turn. Increase this gain if
the aircraft initially loses energy in turns and reduce if the
aircraft initially gains energy in turns. Efficient high aspect-ratio
aircraft (eg powered sailplanes) can use a lower value, whereas
inefficient low aspect-ratio models (eg delta wings) can use a higher value.
Speed <--> Altitude priority
This parameter adjusts the amount of weighting that the pitch control
applies to speed vs height errors. Setting it to 0.0 will cause the
pitch control to control height and ignore speed errors. This will
normally improve height accuracy but give larger airspeed errors.
Setting it to 2.0 will cause the pitch control loop to control speed
and ignore height errors. This will normally reduce airspeed errors,
but give larger height errors. The default value of 1.0 allows the pitch
control to simultaneously control height and speed.
Note to Glider Pilots - set this parameter to 2.0 (The glider will
adjust its pitch angle to maintain airspeed, ignoring changes in height).
Pitch damping factor
This is the damping gain for the pitch demand loop. Increase to add
damping to correct for oscillations in height. The default value of 0.0
will work well provided the pitch to servo controller has been tuned
properly.

Throttle limit max
This is the maximum throttle % that can be used by the controller.
For overpowered aircraft, this should be reduced to a value that
provides sufficient thrust to climb at the maximum pitch angle PTCH_MAX.
Throttle limit min
This is the minimum throttle % that can be used by the controller.
For electric aircraft this will normally be set to zero, but can be set
to a small non-zero value if a folding prop is fitted to prevent the
prop from folding and unfolding repeatedly in-flight or to provide
some aerodynamic drag from a turning prop to improve the descent rate.
For aircraft with internal combustion engine this parameter should be set
for desired idle rpm.
Throttle limit value before flare
This throttle value will be set as throttle limit at FW_LND_TLALT,
before arcraft will flare.
Climbout Altitude difference
If the altitude error exceeds this parameter, the system will climb out
with maximum throttle and minimum airspeed until it is closer than this
distance to the desired altitude. Mostly used for takeoff waypoints / modes.
Set to zero to disable climbout mode (not recommended).
Maximum climb rate
This is the best climb rate that the aircraft can achieve with
the throttle set to THR_MAX and the airspeed set to the
default value. For electric aircraft make sure this number can be
achieved towards the end of flight when the battery voltage has reduced.
The setting of this parameter can be checked by commanding a positive
altitude change of 100m in loiter, RTL or guided mode. If the throttle
required to climb is close to THR_MAX and the aircraft is maintaining
airspeed, then this parameter is set correctly. If the airspeed starts
to reduce, then the parameter is set to high, and if the throttle
demand required to climb and maintain speed is noticeably less than
FW_THR_MAX, then either FW_T_CLMB_MAX should be increased or
FW_THR_MAX reduced.

The drag coefficient (cd) is the typical drag
constant for air. It is in general object specific,
but the closest primitive shape to the actual object
should give good results:

ID of Magnetometer the calibration is for
Rotation of magnetometer 2 relative to airframe
An internal magnetometer will force a value of -1, so a GCS
should only attempt to configure the rotation if the value is
greater than or equal to zero.

Differential pressure sensor analog scaling
Pick the appropriate scaling from the datasheet.
this number defines the (linear) conversion from voltage
to Pascal (pa). For the MPXV7002DP this is 1000.
NOTE: If the sensor always registers zero, try switching
the static and dynamic tubes.

5 = Yaw 225°
6 = Yaw 270°
7 = Yaw 315°
8 = Roll 180°
9 = Roll 180°, Yaw 45°
10 = Roll 180°, Yaw 90°
11 = Roll 180°, Yaw 135°
12 = Pitch 180°

PX4Flow board rotation
This parameter defines the rotation of the PX4FLOW board relative to the platform.
Zero rotation is defined as Y on flow board pointing towards front of vehicle
Possible values are:
0 = No rotation
1 = Yaw 45°
2 = Yaw 90°
3 = Yaw 135°
4 = Yaw 180°
5 = Yaw 225°
6 = Yaw 270°
7 = Yaw 315°
Board rotation Y (Pitch) offset
This parameter defines a rotational offset in degrees around the Y (Pitch) axis. It allows the user
to fine tune the board offset in the event of misalignment.
Board rotation X (Roll) offset
This parameter defines a rotational offset in degrees around the X (Roll) axis It allows the user
to fine tune the board offset in the event of misalignment.
Board rotation Z (YAW) offset
This parameter defines a rotational offset in degrees around the Z (Yaw) axis. It allows the user
to fine tune the board offset in the event of misalignment.
External magnetometer rotation
This parameter defines the rotation of the external magnetometer relative
to the platform (not relative to the FMU).
See SENS_BOARD_ROT for possible values.
Set usage of external magnetometer
* Set to 0 (default) to auto-detect (will try to get the external as primary)
* Set to 1 to force the external magnetometer as primary
* Set to 2 to force the internal magnetometer as primary
