ADDITIONAL ALTIMETERS
The additional altimeters A2, AG, A3, H1, H2 and HA can be shown
in any of customizable display fields (e.g. on the Thermal Display
screen highlighted here in red).
To show additional altimeter information in any of these
customizable fields, press the
,
keys to highlight & select
the data field you wish to adjust.
As you scroll up or down, the fields that you can customize are
highlighted (inverted) and a description of the data currently being
shown is that field is shown for approx 3 seconds.
To change the data you wish to display, press the
,
keys. Each time the data field
is changed, the field briefly shows a description of the data type currently selected.
The A2 altimeter is for generic use. To zero the A2 altimeter press the
key (long
press).
The A3 altimeter is automatically zeroed when a thermal is found. There are 2
parameters that can be adjusted to allow the Digifly instrument to identify a thermal;
the vertical speed (vario) and for how many consecutive seconds this vertical speed is
detected.
To set the thermal detection parameters, go to (ADVANCED SETUP \ n. 2 THEV) and
(ADVANCED SETUP \ n. 3 THET) to adjust the vertical speed (vario) and for how many
consecutive seconds this vertical speed is detected.
The AG altimeter shows the GPS altitude. If a GPS “FIX” has not been made of the GPS
has been switched off a value of “0” is shown in the display.
The H1, H2 and HA altimeters are special altimeters that show the expected height over
the current Waypoint (H1), over the next Waypoint (H2) and over goal (HA) at your
current average ground efficiency.
