Coordinate format: change the visualization format of coordinates. For example, you
can choose between degrees, minutes, and seconds or UTM;
Audio variometer: if you choose “active after takeoff”, the variometer audio is disabled
between -0.3 m/s e +0.3 m/s before takeoff. This prevents the variometer to beep also
before taking off.
Backlight level: the backlight intensity has a mayor impact on the display readability in
different ambient-light conditions and also on the battery life. The backlight level can be
automatically controlled by means of the C-Pilot EVO light sensor. This will react to more
than 200 light levels, with a sensitivity that closely resembles the one of the human eye.
We have finely calibrated the backlight automatic control during several in-flight tests to
guarantee the optimal display contrast while limiting as much as possible the energy
consumption. For example, in direct sunlight the backlight is completely switched off: the
transflective display of C-Pilot EVO allows taking advantage of the sun light rather than
the internal LEDs to provide an excellent contrast and long battery life. If you wish, you
can turn the backlight off or set it to the maximum level by means of this button.

distance: you can choose between metric system, nautical miles (1 mn = 1852 m) or
statute miles (1 sm = 1609 m);
altitude: meters or feet (1 ft = 0,3048 m);
horizontal speed: km/h, knots (1 kts = 1,85 km/h) or miles per hour (1 mph = 1,609
km/h);
vertical speed: meters per second (m/s), feet per minute (1 ftm = 0,3048 m/min) or feet
per second (1 fts = 0,3048 m/s).
Temperature: degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Averages
Audio variometer: sets the response time of the audio variometer from 0.5 seconds to
10 seconds. Smaller values correspond to a faster reactivity of the device.
Warning: the 0.5 s value is very short: the variometer responds almost in
real time to changes of pressure. Having performed many in-fight tests, we
do not reccomend to use this setting but in the weakest flight conditions;
Analog variometer: sets the response time of the analog indicator of the vertical speed
(climb speed) from 1 second to 100 seconds;
Digital variometer: sets the response time of the digital indicator of the vertical speed
(climb speed) from 1 second to 100 seconds;
Glide ratio: response time of the glide-ratio calculator. The shorter the time, the bigger
the fluctuations of the value shown in the navigation page will be;
