2 Flight Mode
The Flymaster VARIO SD has two main working modes, namely Flight mode, and Menu mode. Flight
mode is used during ight, and this allows the user to see information such as Altitude, Speed, or Vario.
The VARIO SD can have up to 16 dierent pages (see Figure
2.1
) in memory. Each page corresponds to
a dierent screen, which can be completely congured by the user. A set of 16 pages is called a Layout.
Figure 2.1: Page examples (Some elements on the picture could not be available on your model)
Screen layout can be congured by the user using a free application, called Flymaster Designer which can
be downloaded from the Flymaster website (www.ymaster.net). This intuitive tool allows the user to
create an unlimited number of layouts, which can be saved to the computer, uploaded to the instrument,
and even shared with other Flymaster users. See the Designer user manual, available on the website for
more information about the Designer tool.
Designing a Layout consists of inserting a set of objects, called Elements, in the desired position, and with
the desired dimensions, in each of the available 16 pages. The Designer works by what you see is what
you get. This means that when you insert a element in a page, and after uploading the layout to the
instrument, you will see exactly the same thing on the VARIO SD screen.
Note: If a Layout is uploaded to the VARIO SD the previews layout is deleted (all pages are
deleted).
There are several elements available for the VARIO SD which are presented in the following section.
