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.
4.3.5
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.
4.3.6
VARIO SIMULATOR
The Vario Simultator is a very useful function, that allows to simulate all the vario
instrument functions (acoustic vario, analog and integrator vario) while you are on the
ground.
To activate this function, go to (M-SET \ n. 8 SIMV), press the
key (function “EDIT”)
and select ON.
Go back to BASIC/ADVANCED display and press up and down the arrow keys
,
to
change the vario value.
Important: for your safety, this function is always reset to “OFF” when you turn the vario
on.

TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
The temperature can be shown on the BASIC/ADVANCED Display screen.
