tone=10.00,1800,150,70
You must define exactly 12 tones. Additional tones will be deleted from the configuration file,
and missing tones will be complemented with values stored in the Eeprom. The tones must
be defined ascending from tone 1 of -10m/s to tone 10m/s of tone 12.
Important: Please avoid using exactly the same climb rate on adjacent tones as it will create
issues.
tone=1.16,579,527,50 means that with a climb rate of 1.16m/s the vario will beep with a
frequency of 579Hz, that the complete tone interval will last 527ms, and that the tone will be
audible for 50% of the tone interval. This is a typical tone that is used when indicating
climbing.
tone=-3.00,280,100,100 means that with a sink rate of -3.0m/s a tone of 280Hz will be
emitted. As soon as the sink rate changes the tone frequency also changes, depending on
the configuration. This creates a nice sink tone (not that a sink tone is ever nice!)
You can create your own tone settings using the tone simulator on www.xctracer.com
and
then copy and paste them to the configuration file, or you can simply copy and paste other
people's tone settings to the configuration file.
