To regulate the total energy compensation value, you should fly in calm air
conditions and slow down as if you’re entering a thermal. If the vario shows a
change in lift, you have to increase the value of parameter n.7
and try again
until the change in velocity doesn’t record lift. A typical value for hang-gliders is
65. Setting this value to zero, deactivates the compensation. To change this
parameter , goto the
parameter, n.7, and press
the value starts to flash.

wind probe connected (please, use only the wind probes approved by Digifly).

A vario works likes this: it calculates the rate of change of atmospheric pressure
and displays this as a change of altitude; but if you slow down in
flight,you have a
change of pressure, so a “non-compensated” vario would register this as lift, but
this is due to a change in airspeed (kinetic energy) and because of a thermal.
Now, if you are flying quite fast and slow down when you enter a thermal, the vario
reading gets a little difficult to interpret, because part of the lift reading is due to
slowing down, and part is due to lift. With a total energy compensation, the part of
lift due to the change in velocity is eliminated, allowing you to identify “real”
thermals.
