INTEGRATED (AVERAGED) VARIO
The integrated vario (highlighted here red) is an average vario
reading. This time over which the reading is averaged is adjustable.
The data in this display field is always “highlighted” to make
reading in flight easier.
You can change the integration interval by setting parameter (MAIN
SETUP \ n. 6 INTE) between “0” and “60” seconds.
It can be delayed or immediate. If you set a value that is too low,
its value will be close to the instantaneous reading. Normally this is
the most common setting. It can also be used for example to see if the rate of lift or sink
is improving or getting worse. If the integrated vario reading over a number of seconds
is higher than the actual reading, it means that you are doing worse than before.
5.2.5
ACOUSTIC VARIO
The acoustic vario represents the instantaneous values of the vario with a modulated
tone.
The volume of the tone is adjustable over three levels “HIGH”, “OFF” & “LOW”, by
pressing the
key (long pressure). The volume level selected is shown by a change in
the “speaker” graphic at the bottom of the screen.
You can set the threshold level for the Digifly instrument to indicate lift, go to (MAIN
SETUP \ n. 2 V.UP) and sink, go to (MAIN SETUP \ n. 3 V.DN).
To change the vario tone based on your personal preferences, you can adjust the
acoustic vario tone modulation, go to (MAIN SETUP \ n. 4 TONE).
5.2.6
VARIO SIMULATOR
The vario simulator is very useful to check your acoustic vario settings without the need
to test it in real flight.
To activate the vario simulator go to (MAIN SETUP \ n. 8 SIMV) and select “ON”. Once in
vario simulator mode is possible to change the vario value using the keys
,
.
To deactivate the vario simulator go to (MAIN SETUP \ n. 8 SIMV) and select “OFF”. For
safety reason the vario simulator is always turned off when you switch off the
instrument.
