User Manual XC Tracer Mini V
Rev 01 2.9.2022
Important: Please avoid using exactly the same climb rate on adjacent tones as it will create
problems.
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=-3.00,280,100,100 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 tone frequency also changes, depending on the configuration.
This creates a nice sink tone (not that a sink tone is ever nice!)

# Live tracking in Open Glider Network
liveTracking=yes or liveTracking=no
Here you can define if you want to be visible on OGN / Glidertracker / Burnair. It is recommended
to set this to liveTracking=yes, this may help in case of an accident.
You can create your own tone settings using the tone simulator on
copy and paste them to the configuration file, or you can simply copy and paste other people's tone
settings to the configuration file.
XC Tracer Mini V 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 on as normal.
Important: Always close the configuration file before you unmount / eject XC Tracer Mini V!!!
