3.3.2 Vario /SC

In the Vario/SC sub-menu, functionality of the Vario can be set and the following variables
adjusted:
 Zero frequency – the frequency tone generated by device on displaying vario at 0 m/s.
 Positive frequency – the frequency tone generated by device on displaying vario at max
range.
 Negative frequency – the frequency tone generated by device on displaying vario at min
range.
 Test audio – selected option will output the tone from the negative frequency to the
positive frequency, allowing the pilot to hear current frequency range and adjust it if
needed.
 Range – lets the pilot adjust the current scale of selected vario unit (In the case of kts
numbers 5, 10 or 20 can be set as scale). The same principle applies to other units.
 Filter – increasing or decreasing this number will have an influence on variometer response.
A smaller value will make the variometer more responsive to small changes, while a larger
value will do the opposite.
 Integration time – interval for calculating average vario.
 Vario silence – the sound of vario will not be produced below this set value. This helps the
pilot to not be distracted from small changes in areas of the zero. This feature can be turned
off or set between:
o -0.1 kts to -4.0 kts (For kts units)
o -0.1 m/s to -2 m/s (For m/s units)
