Damper; Dynamic Frequency; Auto Silent - Flymaster LIVE C User Manual

A practical example of the advantages of the buzzer feature can be illustrated in Figure bellow In this example
both pilots are sinking at -1.0 m/s. The orange paraglider has a LIVE C for which the climbing threshold is
set to 0.1 m/s and the Buzzer parameter is set to 3 (0.3 m/s). The green paraglider has a typical vario for
which the climbing threshold is set to 0.1 m/s.
As shown in the figure, when both pilots enter the thermal nothing is heard. The air is rising at 0.1 m/s but
both pilots are descending at -0.9 m/s. In the second zone of the thermal the air is rising at 0.8 m/s, and so
pilots are descending at -0.2 m/s. At this stage the orange pilot starts to hear the Buzzer brrrrr sound of his
LIVE SD , which helps him to centre the thermal, while the green pilot is still unaware of the thermal. Finally,
in the 3 zone, the air is rising at 1.2 m/s, and so both pilots climb at 0.2 m/s. The LIVE SD pilot starts to hear
his vario beep... beep... sound, and it is only at this point the green pilot hears the first beep from his
instrument.

Damper -

The LIVE SD 's vertical speed calculation is based on air pressure variations. It is very seldom
to have air pressure absolutely stable. Turbulence caused by air moving near the sensor is sufficient to cause
small variations in pressure. For this reason the LIVE C filters (averages) the pressure data to prevent
constantly detecting tiny pressure variations. The value that defines how must the pressure is filtered is the
Damper. Setting a lower damper value caused the LIVE C to become more responsive but harsher. Inversely
a higher value causes the LIVE C to be less responsive but smoother. The default value is 6.

Dynamic Frequency-

The LIVE C beeps at a specified pitch (frequency) when a certain rate of climb
is encountered. When dynamic frequency is zero, the pitch (frequency) of that beep will remain constant if
the rate of climb changes. With dynamic frequency on, the pitch of the beep may vary if the rate of climb
varies during the individual beep.

Auto Silent-

Setting Auto silent option ON will keep the LIVE C 's vario quiet until a Start Flight has been
detected. This function avoids listening the vario sound while waiting to take off. The audio will then be kept
active until the LIVE C is switched off. The default value for the auto silent parameter is ON.
