The Middle Button
The first item on the middle button is the averager. This is a useful tool
to find your overall rate of climb when flying conditions create short
bursts of lift and sink.
The averager is selected on the middle button along with the averaging
time, e.g. AV 20 (20 second averaging). It will return to the current
altimeter after a few seconds but a further press leaves it in averager
mode along with the altimeter reading. The averager is shown as a
black band of petals and the normal vario rate is also shown as a single
flashing petal in this mode. The audio tones will still respond quickly if
lift or sink is encountered.
The averager can be adjusted to smooth out variations of lift and sink
over a 1 to 60 second period and can be set with a long press on the
middle button or in the right sub menu, which is explained further down
the manual.
The vario is displayed next (shown with a V) and has a numerical readout
of 0.1 metres per second in this mode and a resolution of up to 10mm
per second on the petal display. The sensitivity of the petal display can
be set with a long press or in the right settings menu.
