10.2. Advanced settings
BUZZ - Is so called because of the sound it emits, which resembles a
buzzing sound.
The buzzer sound is produced when the rate of climb is close to, but has
not yet reached the specified Climb threshold (see 13.3.1). This value is
set between 0 and 9 with each unit corresponding to be 0.1 m/s, ie. 3 is
0.3m/s. Subtracting this decimal value from the climb threshold will give
us the value at which the Vario LS will start buzzing.
For example with the Vario LS default values, Climb threshold=0.1m/s,
and Buzzer=3 (0.3m/s) the buzzing with start at -0.2m/s because 0.1 -
0.3= -0.2. In this case at 0.1m/s directly below the Climb threshold the
Vario LS will emit a constant sound varying rapidly in pitch from around
100hz to the set base frequency at which the first beep is emitted. This is
the buzzer sound and may resemble a growl noise. Setting the Buzzer
value to 0 (zero) will disable the buzzer feature.
Although the Buzzer will sound very annoying on the ground it becomes
an amazing companion in flight allowing the pilot to pick-up thermals he
would have usually missed.
UNIT - Sets the Vario LS units to: meter and m/s or feet and f/min x100.
DATE - Sets the the date of the Vario LS
TIME - Sets the clock of the Vario LS
CTRS - Sets the contrast of the display.
SLTN - Setting Auto silent option ON will keep the Vario LS 's sound quiet
until a Start Flight has been detected. This function avoids listening the
vario sound while waiting to take off. The audio will then be kept active
until the VARIO LS is switched off. The default value for the auto silent
parameter is ON.
LOG - Shows the recorded flights into the Vario LS internal memory.
FACT- Restore al the values to factory defaults.
