enter settings mode and Av followed by the time period will appear. The
Up and down buttons,
v
and
^
can then be used to set the required
averaging period. Finish by pressing SET to continue to the end of the
settings menu.
The average lift or sink is also displayed as a blinking segment in the
normal vario mode but as this can complicate the display, it can be
switched off by setting the averaging time to zero.
The G-Meter is the next option on the SET menu and this shows the
strength of gravitational or centrifugal force acting on the pilot in any
direction and normally indicates 1G at rest, displayed as G 1_00
Higher “G” may be encountered during a turn or dive and the G-Meter
will indicate this to 2 decimal places, for example: G 2_15 (i.e. just over
twice the Earth’s gravitational force).
A further press of the SET button gives the maximum G-force
encountered during your flight, so the example above would be indicated
as G 2_15 MAX This will be permanently stored and will only be updated
if higher G-force is registered. This reading can be reset back to 1.00 G
with a long key press.
The forth menu option is temperature of the vario in degrees Celsius
which equates to local air temperature if the vario is not heated by sunlight
or body temperature etc. A long press gives temperature in Fahrenheit.
The next options on the SET button gives maximum and minimum
readings relating to your flight. All readings are stored permanently and
