If new pilot is entered, on dialog exit, message “Do you to create new profile?” will be asked.
Answer YES if you want quickly to add new profile. For more information about profiles see
chapter 5.1.12.
5.1.3 Vario parameters
The following parameters can be set using this option.
On that page following parameters are set:
Vario needle filter sets a time constant of vario needle. Value can be adjusted between
0.1 and 5s with step 1.0s or 0.1s. Default value is 1.5s.
Vario sound filter sets a time constant of vario sound. Value can be adjusted between 0.1
and 5s with step 1.0s or 0.1s. Default value is 1.5s.
Vario range sets full scale range of vario (2.5m/s, 5m/s or 10m/s). Default value is 5m/s
(10kts).
SC tab defines the width of the audio dead band in speed to fly mode. Default value is
±1m/s.
Integrator time defines integration period for the average vario in seconds. The default is
20 seconds.
Auto SC defines the conditions, by which the instrument is switched automatically between
vario and speed command.
• OFF: Switching is possible exclusively by an external switch, connected to the LX 8000
vario unit.
• GPS: When the GPS detects that the glider is circling an automatic change over to vario
will happen, after approximately 10 seconds. Detection of a straight flight will cause a
change over to speed command.
• TAS: When the TAS exceeds a pre-set value. The TAS at which switching occurs can be
selected in 5 km/h steps from 100 up to 160 km/h (or the equivalent in knots or mph)
Smart vario filter gives us four levels of dynamic damping of the vario indication.
The external switch wired to LX 8000 AU has absolute priority and will override all
other switching methods.
5.1.4 Display
Display menu controls screen brightness. LX8000 has an ambient light sensor which detects
ambient light and automatically increases or reduces brightness of screen.
