User Manual XC Tracer V1.0
Rev 01 22.2.2016
With this setting the vario will stop beeping when the climb rate is below 0.1m/s. You can
also use negative values here, for example -0.51m/s when you use a thermal sniffer.
SinkToneOnThreshold=-3.0
The sink tone will be activated when the sink rate is below -3m/s.
SinkToneOffThreshold=-3.0
The sink tone will be deactivated when the sink rate is less than -3m/s.

You must define exactly 12 tones. Additional tones will be deleted from the configuration file,
and missing tones will be complemented with values stored in the Eeprom. The tones must
be defined ascending from tone 1 of -10m/s to tone 10m/s of tone 12.
Important: Please avoid using exactly the same climb rate on adjacent tones as it will create
problems.
tone=1.16,579,527,50 means that with a climb rate of 1.16m/s the vario will beep with a
frequency of 579Hz, that the complete tone interval will last 527ms, and that the tone will be
audible for 50% of the tone interval. This is a typical tone that is used when indicating
climbing.
tone=-3.0,280 means that with a sink rate of -3.0m/s a tone of 280Hz will be emitted. As soon
as the sink rate changes the tone frequency also changes, depending on the configuration.
It‘s a good idea to only set sink rate and frequency for the sink alarm, and not set tone
interval and duty cycle. This creates a nicer sink tone (not that a sink tone is ever nice!)
