4.2.2 DIGITAL VARIO
Shows instant climbing or descending values in a range of +/- 25 m/s in digital format.
4.2.3 ANALOGICAL VARIO
Indicates the instant vario values. It is displayed by the analogical bar indicator on the left of the
screen, it shows the sink or climb rate within a +/- 5 m/s range.
4.2.4 INTEGRATED (AVERAGE) VARIO
Shows the integrated vario values. This means an average data reading (slowed down in the time) of
the instant vario (it can be changed with the value of netto vario, see section. 4.2.6).
Can be set slowed down or immediate. Setting to the minimum the integrated vario value, the shown
value will be the same of the instant vario (factory setting).
It can be used to monitor the proceeding of the climb to see if it is getting better or worse. For example: if the
integrated vario value is higher of the instant vario one, means that previously the climb was stronger. It can be
used therefore to better core the thermal.
To change the integration time, set the parameter: (VARIOMETER SETUP \ n. 14 INTE) from 0 to 60 seconds.
It is analogically displayed on the right of the instant variometer, with a bar showing the climb or sink rate with a
range +/- 5 m/s.
4.2.5 NETTO VARIO (WITH OPTIONAL PITOT TUBE)
If this parameter (ADVANCED SETUP \ n. 9 POLA) is set to “OFF”, all information related to McCready, McCready
Equivalent, and Netto Vario are not displayed on the instrument
It is shown through an analogic scale on the right of the instant variometer that shows the climb or sink rate
within a range +/- 5 m/s. (changeable with integrated vario value, see section. 4.2.6).
To use this function it is necessary to set the proper polar of your glider.
4.2.6 INTEGRATED VARIO / NETTO VARIO AUTOMATIC SWITCH
You can change vario indicators layout using (VARIOMETER SETUP \ n. 18 DSEL) :
0 = (default) , right analog bar shows average vario values, while digital indicator always shows instant vario
values .
1 = right analog bar and digital indicator always show average vario values.
2 = right analog bar and digital indicator always show netto vario values.
3 = Data shown from right analog bar and digital indicator changes depending on effective flyght conditions:
when you are gliding right analog bar and digital indicator both show netto values, when you ar thermaling right
analog bar shows average vario values and digital indicator show instant vario values.
4 = Data shown from right analog bar and digital indicator changes depending on effective flyght conditions:
when you are gliding right analog bar and digital indicator both show netto values, when you ar thermaling right
analog bar and digital indicator both show average vario values.
See setion 6.12 (Thermal Tutor) for extra details on gliding mode and thermaling mode.
When netto vario value is shown “NET” icon will appear in the right bar.
