VARIO REACTIVITY
To adjust the reactivity of the vario, go to (M-SET \ n. 5 RVAR).
5.2.3
ANALOGUE VARIO
The long data field on the left of the display shows the analogue vario value.
The analogue vario is an instantaneous vario reading. This information is shown on the
analogue display on the left of the screen by a bar graph, indicating lift or sink.
The scale of the analogue vario can be adjusted by setting parameter (M-SET \ n. 7
FS_V) to 1, 6, 12 m/s.
5.2.4
INTEGRATED (AVERAGED) VARIO
The integrated vario is an average vario reading. This time over which the reading is
averaged is adjustable.
You can change the integration interval by setting parameter (M-SET \ n. 6 INTE)
between “0” and “60” seconds.
It can be delayed or immediate. If you set a value that is too low, its value will be close to
the instantaneous reading. Normally this is the most common setting. It can also be
used for example to see if the rate of lift or sink is improving or getting worse. If the
integrated vario reading over a number of seconds is higher than the actual reading, it
means that you are doing worse than before.
5.2.5
ACOUSTIC VARIO
The acoustic vario represents the instantaneous values of the vario with a modulated
tone.
The volume of the tone is adjustable over three levels pressing the key.
Important: this volume level influence all acoustic indications, but not power ON/OFF
indication.
You can set the threshold level for the Digifly Archimede to indicate lift, go to (M-SET \ n.
2 V.UP) and sink, go to (M-SET \ n. 3 V.DN).
To change the vario tone modulation, based on your personal preferences, go to (M-SET
\ n. 4 TONE), the acoustic vario tone modulation between SFT (soft), STD (standard) and
FAS (fast).
A very useful function to “hear” the vario tone modulation without flying is the Vario
Simulator function, see paragraph below.
