User Manual XC Tracer Mini V1.0 Rev 01 25.2.2016
SinkToneOffThreshold=-3.0
The sink tone will be deactivated when the sink rate is less than -3m/s.
tone=-10.0,200
tone=-3.0,280
tone=-0.51,300
tone=-0.5,300,800,5
tone=0.09,510,600,5
tone=0.1,510,600,50
tone=1.16,579,527,50
tone=2.67,698,450,50
tone=4.24,824,360,50
tone=6.0,1037,283,50
tone=8.0,1314,219,50
tone=10.0,1661,190,50
You must define exactly 12 tones. Additional tones will be deleted from the configuration file, and
missing tones will be complemented with values stored in the Eeprom. The tones must be defined
ascending from tone 1 of -10m/s to tone 10m/s of tone 12.
Important: Please avoid using exactly the same climb rate on adjacent tones as it will create
problems.
tone=1.16,579,527,50 means that with a climb rate of 1.16m/s the vario will beep with a
frequency of 579Hz, that the complete tone interval will last 527ms, and that the tone will be
audible for 50% of the tone interval. This is a typical tone that is used when indicating climbing.
tone=-3.0,280 means that with a sink rate of -3.0m/s a tone of 280Hz will be emitted. As soon as
the sink rate changes the tone frequency also changes, depending on the configuration. It‘s a good
idea to only set sink rate and frequency for the sink alarm, and not set tone interval and duty cycle.
This creates a nicer sink tone (not that a sink tone is ever nice!)
You can create your own tone settings using the tone simulator on www.xctracer.com, however you
can also copy and paste other people's tone settings to the configuration file.
XC Tracer Mini doesn't actually save the new configuration into its internal memory until it starts up
in normal flight mode. So, press the red button briefly to unmount / eject the device from your
computer, disconnect it from the USB cable, then turn XC Tracer Mini on as normal.
Important: Always close the configuration file before you unmount / eject XC Tracer Mini!!!
