Menu Settings Variometer
Tip: By use of the PC Software Flychart Extras -> Flight instrument Options, all instrument
characteristics can be set easily and comfortably.
By use of the feature tone simulation the adjusted values can be checked easily!
2.2.4.1 Digital-Vario Integrator
Main Setup Menu
Setting of average value time constant from 1 – 30 seconds for the digital Variometer display.
2.2.4.2 Threshold value last thermal
Main Setup Menu
Threshold for the display arrowhead of last thermal, the range can be set between 0,5 up to 3 m/s.
The thermal arrowhead in the compass rose points to the direction, where the integrated Vario was
the last time higher than this threshold value.
2.2.4.3 Basic filter (Turbulence filter)
Main Setup Menu
The response characteristics of Variometer display and of climb- or sink acoustics can be adapted
within a wide range in accordance to the pilot's needs or the weather conditions.
In order to simplify the settings, Flytec has defined 4 basic- resp. turbulence filters.

Variometer - Acoustic settings
The climb tone is a frequency modulated beep tone whose pitch and beep tone sequence rises
rhythmically at increasing climb rate. The pulse/pause ratio is 1:1.
Following settings are possible under Main Setup Menu
