User Manual XC Tracer Mini II
Rev 02 4.6.2020
tone=1.16,579,527,50 means that with a climb rate of 1.16m/s the vario will beep with a
frequency of 579Hz, that the complete tone interval will last 527ms, and that the tone will be
audible for 50% of the tone interval. This is a typical tone that is used when indicating climbing.
tone=-3.0,280 means that with a sink rate of -3.0m/s a tone of 280Hz will be emitted. As soon as
the sink rate changes the to
ne frequency also changes, depending on the configuration. It‘s a good
idea to only set sink rate and frequency for the sink alarm, and not set tone interval and duty cycle.
This creates a nicer sink tone (not that a sink tone is ever nice!)
You can create your own tone settings using the tone simulator on
www.xctracer.com
, however you
can also copy and paste other people's tone settings to the configuration file.
XC Tracer Mini II doesn't actually save the new configuration into its internal memory until it starts
up in normal flight mode. So, press the red button briefly to unmount / eject the device from your
computer, disconnect it from the USB cable, then turn XC Tracer Mini II on as normal.
Important: Always close the configuration file before you unmount / eject XC Tracer Mini II!!!
