Which board (stock / gruvin9x / sky9x / Taranis) are you using?
Taranis
Hello Bernet,
the Vario tone of Taranis goes from min. 640Hz over 1000Hz at 0m/s to max.
2000Hz. Correct? It sounds good.
However, the Vario pilots from the great sailplanes love a lower frequency
location.
So at 0m/s approx 300Hz down to 10Hz at -4m/s sinkrate.
I know, the lowest steps are limited by the timer. Often only a coarser
gradation of frequency is possible. I think this is no problem at the low end.
What do you think about my proposal.
An other point:
Particularity of the three different variometer sound schemes
It is very important for the pilot to know in which of these three areas he
actually is. In order to distinguish these three areas three different tone
schemes have been set up. The zero lift area is particularly valuable.
The sinking below the sinking threshold is indicated as usual with a continuous
tone the frequency of which becomes lower at increasing sink rate. Climbing is
always indicated with an intermittent tone the frequency and pulse rate of
which increases with increasing climb rate.
In the zero lift area you will hear no tone.
This way real climbing, start of climbing within the zero lift area as well as
sinking can easily be distinguished one from another.
This particularity has been adopted from wsTech variometers by some tramsmitter
firwares.
Nonetheless the thresholds are configurable per model by the user in the vario
menu.
Best regards,
Wolfgang
