EQUIVALENT McCREADY
To utilize the McCready functions, you must have an air speed
probe connected. The optional air speed probe should be
plugged in to the right hand socket on the bottom of the vario.
If this parameter (ADVANCED SETUP \ n. 8 POLA) is set to “OFF”, all display
information relating to McCready, McCready Equivalent, Thermal Sniffer is not
displayed on the instrument, creating a cleaner display for users not needing this
functionality.
This value indicates the Equivalent McCready value, using the actual air speed as the
optimal speed.
The Equivalent McCready indicator is a kind of "reverse" speed to fly calculation. It tells
you that flying at the current air speed you are assuming that the average thermal value
of the flight is the value indicated from the Equivalent McCready.
To set the average of the Equivalent McCready, go to (ADVANCED SETUP \ n. 18 MCRE).

NETTO VARIO
To utilize the netto vario function, you must have an air
speed probe connected. The optional air speed probe should
be plugged in to the right hand socket on the bottom of the
vario.
If this parameter (ADVANCED SETUP \ n. 8 POLA) is set to “OFF”, the netto display vario
is disabled and all display information relating to McCready, McCready Equivalent,
Thermal Sniffer is not displayed on the instrument, creating a cleaner display for users
not needing this functionality.
The netto vario indicates the vertical speed of the rising or sinking air mass you are
flying through and is displayed with black digits with a white background (this allows it
to be distinguished from the standard vario that is displayed in “reverse” mode).
To use this function, you also need to set up the polar curve of your glider.
