By use of the feature tone simulation the adjusted values can be checked easily!
2.2.4.1 Digital-Vario Integrator
Main
Setup Menu
Variometer
Digital
Setting of average value time constant from 1
– 30 seconds for the digital Variometer display.
2.2.4.2 Threshold value last thermal
Main
Setup Menu
Variometer
Threshold for the display arrowhead of last thermal, the range can be set between 0,5 up to 3 m/s.
The thermal arrowhead in the compass rose points to the direction, where the integrated Vario was
the last time higher than this threshold value.
2.2.4.3 Basic filter (Turbulence filter)

The response characteristics of Variometer display and of climb- or sink acoustics can be adapted
within a wide range in accordance to the pilot’s needs or the weather conditions.
In order to simplify the settings, Flytec has defined 4 basic- resp. turbulence filters.
Variometer - sensitivity / response characteristics
Filter No.
0
weak filtering
for very calm air in Winter
1 Default
normal filtering
for enjoyment thermal with light turbulence
2
high filtering
thermal with turbulence
3
very high turbulence filtering
for very rough and strong thermal

Variometer - Acoustic settings
The climb tone is a frequency modulated beep tone whose pitch and beep tone sequence rises
rhythmically at increasing climb rate. The pulse/pause ratio is 1:1.
Following settings are possible under
Main Setup Menu
Variometer Climb Acoustic and
Variometer Sink Acoustic
:
Climb Acoustic settings:
Climb threshold:
= climb acoustic threshold
Basic frequency
= basic tone pitch Vario climb
Frequency change
= increase of tone pitch
(frequency modification per m/s)
Pitch modification
= increase of beep interval per m/s
Pitch mode
= linear or exponential
increase of climb acoustic
Pre-Thermal Threshold:
= trigger point of Pre-Therm.acoustic
Sink Acoustic settings:
Sink threshold:
=Sink tone threshold
