Vario 

 

In this menu pilot can set vario settings:  
 
- Zero frequency is a frequency generated at 0 m/s  
- Positive frequency is the frequency at maximum climb shown on the 
scale (depends on range setting) 
- Negative frequency is the frequency at maximum sink shown on the 
scale (depends on range setting) 
- The audio test will generate vario movement from +5m/s to -5m/s so 
the user can check the audio setting in this range   
- The range is the scale for vario. Three options are available – 2.5, 5 and 
10 m/s (5, 10 and 20 kts, according to user selected units).  
- The filter defines the dynamics of the vario needle and sound. The 
smaller the time the faster is the response and vice versa   
- Integration time defines integration period for averaging the vario data 
in seconds  

 
 

 

Units 

 

The units menu holds the units options for all flight parameters, shown 
as either an indicator, navbox, widget or digital needle. Pilot can set 
units for:  
- Vario (m/s, kts)  
- Altitude (m, ft)  
- Distance (km, nm, mi)  
- Speed (km/h, mph, kts)  
- Wind (km/h, mph, kts, m/s)  
- Pressure (mbar, inHg)  
- Temperature (°C, °F)  
- Weight (kg, lb)  
- Area (m2, ft2)  
 
You can chose and edit each parameter one by one or go to the preset 
menu and select between Metric, Imperial or US units. By selecting one 
of the presets all the units will be affected.
