User Manual XC Tracer V1.0
Rev 01 22.2.2016
When
logOnlyWhenFlying=yes
is set then a log file will be recorded once the GPS has
recorded a speed greater than 4m/s. The logging will get stopped when you have landed.
When you make a toplanding the log file will be stopped, and a new log file will get created
when you take off again. When
logOnlyWhenFlying=no
is set then a log file will be recorded
as soon as you switch on XC Tracer, and the logging will only be stopped when you switch
off the device.

# create your own vario tone settings below
beepOnlyWhenFlying=yes
When this is set XC Tracer will be silent before takeoff. This is very helpful when you have
configured some kind of a thermal sniffer. With
beepOnlyWhenFlying=yes
the variometer will
be silent until XC Tracer detects a climb/sink rate of +/- 0.75m/s for roughly 2-3 seconds.
With
beepOnlyWhenFlying=no
the variometer will beep not only in flight, but also when you
walk or move.
setVolume=2
There are four volume settings, 0-3. With this option you set the volume that the vario will
use for beeping. When
beepOnlyWhenFlying=yes
is set then the vario will be silent until you
fly. Once you’re flying the vario will beep with the volume that you have set. Remember
though, that you can change the volume during flight with a short press of the red button.
ClimbToneOnThreshold=0.2
With this setting the vario will begin to beep when the climb rate is higher than 0.2m/s. When
you want to use a thermal sniffer then you can set
ClimbToneOnThreshold=-0.5
for example.
In this case the vario will begin to beep when the sink rate is less than -0.5m/s. In this way
you can adjust the beeping tone so that you know when you’re flying in lifting air, despite the
fact that you’re actually sinking gently. This can be helpful to find and core thermals in weak
conditions.
ClimbToneOffThreshold=0.1
