====== Ascent Control ====== ===== How to customize the beep tone ===== Customizing the beep tone of the Ascent Vario is possible using the Ascent Control software. - Run Ascent Control - Connect Vario to PC - Select menu item Flght->User Settings... - Click "Read" button to read current settings - Modify settings to you desire - Click "Write" button to upload new settings to the Vario ==== Beep Parameters Explained ==== General Notes: - All values stored internally in the Ascent Vario are in metric. - Altitude data is in mm - Velocity data is in mm/s - If gap1_time_max is set to 0 then single beep mode, and only gap2 is used. - If gap1_time_max is not set to 0 then double beep mode, and only gap1 is the gap between the first and second beep. === Flags === === Sink Alarm (mm) === velocity at with the sink alarm come on if the sink alarm flag is set. === Launch Detect Threshold (mm) === relative change in altitude from time fly mode has been entered required for launch detect === Vertical Speed Integration Time === time (in seconds) from which the current altitude is compared against to calculate the displayed velocity === Beep Sensitivity (mm/s) === minimum velocity that must be archived for audio lift alert to be played === Lowest Pitch (Hz) === frequency of audio lift alert at 0 mm/s lift === Highest Pitch (Hz) (velocity_tone_freq_min_Hz) === maximum frequency of audio lift alert === Pitch Scalar (velocity_tone_freq_scaler_mmps) === scaler used to calculate audio lift alert frequency as velocity changes velocity_tone_freq_Hz = ( velocity / velocity_tone_freq_scaler_mmps) + velocity_tone_freq_min_Hz === Max Beep Time (ms) (beep_time_max) === maximum beep_time === Min Beep Time (ms) (beep_time_min) === minimum beep_time === Beep Time Scalar (beep_time_scaler) === === Double Beep Max Gap (ms) === gap2_time_max === Double Beep Min Gap (ms) === gap2_time_min === Double Beep Gap Scalar === gap2_time_scaler === Beep Max Gap (ms) === gap1_time_max === Beep Min Gap (ms) === gap1_time_min === Beep Gap Scalar === gap1_time_scaler beep_time = beep_time_max - (velocity / beep_time_scaler) gap1_time = gap1_time_max - (velocity / gap1_time_scaler) gap2_time = gap2_time_max - (velocity / gap2_time_scaler)
