2. Use the arrow keys to scroll to Vario profiles, press OK
3. Choose Details to customise the profile you have activated as described above
4. Return with .
You may customise:
Sensitivity
: Choose from a slow, regular, or fast reaction
Audio General
:
Tone change: Linear or harmonic. This describes how the vario tone changes with increasing
vertical speed. With the setting "linear", the tone frequency goes up linearly with the vertical speed.
So the change from 1 m/s to 2 m/s gives the same change in frequency as the change from 5 m/s to
6 m/s. With the setting "harmonic", the change is different. This is because we perceive frequencies
differences differently, depending on how high the frequencies are: On a piano, B3 and C4 have
246.942 and 261.626Hz. Difference is 14,684 Hz. If we take it a few octaves higher, B6 and C7 have
1975.53 and 2093.00. Difference is 117,47Hz. To the human ear, the difference is exactly one tone -
just a few octaves higher. So with the setting "harmonic", we change the frequency in a way so that
a climb frequency of 0.1 m/s will always be perceived as the same tone difference, regardless of the
absolute climb values.
Tone rise: Off, slow, medium, fast
Cadence change: Logarithmic or linear. This describes how the vario cadence (the number of
beeps per second) changes with increasing vertical speed. With the setting "linear", the cadence
goes up linearly with the vertical speed. So the change from 1 m/s to 2 m/s gives the same change
in frequency as the change from 5 m/s to 6 m/s. Because this will make for some very fast, nervous
beeping with higher climb rates, we introduced the logarithmic setting. With this, the beeping still
gets faster the faster you climb, but it does not increase as much. The change from 1 m/s to 2 m/s
is much more than the change from 5 m/s to 6 m/s.
Cadence rise: Off, slow, medium, fast
Climb tone
:
Active: Activate or deactivate the climb tone.
Threshold: Set the threshold at which the climb tone sets in.
Near-thermal tone
:
Active: Activate or deactivate the near-thermal tone.
Threshold: Set the threshold at which the near-thermal tone sets in.
Duration: Short, long, or constant defines the actual tone length with which you like the near-
thermal tone played by the vario.
Volume: Off, reduced, default, and loud are values relative to your general audio volume.
Sink tone
: The settings here are the same as for the near-thermal tone.
Last thermal threshold
: The Element Alto records thermals using readings of its numeric vario. You can
adjust the threshold of the last thermal value from between 0.1 to 3.0 m/s (or 0.2 to 6 ft/min x 100).
The default setting is 0.5 m/s or (1.0 ft/min x 100).
6.2.3 Profile reset
In order to reset a profile to its original settings, you must first select it as described above, then perform
the reset:
1. Press and hold Menu
2. Use the arrow keys to scroll to Vario profile, press OK
3. Select the profile you want to reset
4. Then scroll to Reset profile, press and confirm with OK
5. Cancel with .
