# screen version 
screenVersion=Standard & Thermal & Buddy 
 
Here you can choose which screen combination you want to have. The screens are explained below. 
Only the line 

screenVersion=Standard & Thermal & Buddy is interpreted by the microcontroller, 

this line is used to make the settings. 

# Automatic switching between standard & thermal screen 

automaticSwitchScreen=yes   

Here you can set whether or not you want to automatically switch from the standard screen to the 
thermal screen and back. This can be useful if you want to use the thermal assistant, but prefer not 
to release the brakes and press the red button to switch the screen. 

# create your own vario tone settings below 

beepOnlyWhenFlying=yes 

When this is set XC Tracer Mini III GPS will be silent before takeoff. This is very helpful when you 
have configured some kind of a thermal sniffer. With 

beepOnlyWhenFlying=yes the variometer will 

be silent until XC Tracer Mini III GPS detects a horizontal velocity of 4m/s or more during 1-2 
seconds. With 

beepOnlyWhenFlying=no the variometer will beep not only in flight, but also when you 

walk or move. 

setVolume=2 

There are four volume settings, 0-3. With this option you set the volume that the vario will use for 
beeping. When 

beepOnlyWhenFlying=yes is set then the vario will be silent until you fly. Once you’re 

flying the vario will beep with the volume that you have set. Remember though, that you can change 
the volume during flight with a short press of the red button. 

dampingFactor=0.00
