Operation
It is not possible to modify any data on the finesse screen. It is necessary
for the impeller to rotate and there must be a drop in altitude for finesse
to be displayed. To calculate finesse, the instrument takes the mean wind
speed as the horizontal velocity and the data supplied by the variometer
as the vertical velocity.
Memories, Viewing and Settings
24,480 sets of memories are available. One set contains all the readings
from all the sensors (including a combination of sensors) at the time of
recording. The 24,480 sets are shared between the 3 types of memories.
A new recording (set) deletes the oldest if the memory capacity is full.
The instrument features 3 types of memories:
- Manual recordings (
)
- Measurements at selected rate (
)
- History (
)
Each type of memory has its own screen (please refer to next sections).
The memory screen can only be viewed and configured through the
special menu.
Memory capacity (24,480 records):
The duration of the recording allowed will depend on the selected rate,
for instance:
2.5 days are possible if the recording takes place every 10 seconds
2.5 months are possible if the recording takes place every 5 minutes
Manual Recordings
Display
is displayed if the memory is empty (no recordings).
The default screen is used to display the memory content.
In the example shown opposite, the standard screen with
the basic measuring modes (wind speed, temperature,
altitude, compass heading) is the screen used to that effect.
The
upper block
displays
or
