XCVario Pur – Operation Overview #
The operation of the XCVario Pur is simple, intuitive, and optimized for both beginners and advanced pilots. Control is primarily via the rotary knob with integrated push function, complemented by an optional additional switch or button (configurable) for Vario or speed command mode, and the main on-off switch. The following description refers to the default configuration; all rotary functions can be customized during setup (see Setup chapter).
Switching On and Initial Setup #
- After switching on on the ground, first set the QNH on the rotary knob, or confirm it if the airfield elevation is already configured.
- Press the rotary knob to start the variometer display screen
- Rotate the knob to the left to decrease volume, or to the right to increase it.
Accessing Menus and Settings #
- Pressing the rotary knob once opens the setup menu, where parameters such as MacCready (MC) value, water-ballast, polar, and more can be adjusted.
- A scroll up will take you to the top of the setup menu [< … ], allowing a quick exit without scrolling.
- Turn the rotary to scroll down or up through menu items.
- Nested menus allow you to dive deeper by pressing the rotary, and the top item of each sub-menu returns you to the previous level.
Adjusting and Saving Values #
- Almost all setup items include integrated help texts for quick guidance, even for new users.
- Turn left to decrease and right to increase any configuration value.
- Confirm and save a value with a simple push; the device will acknowledge with “save” and return to the previous screen or dialog.
- Certain parameters, such as the MC value, return directly to the variometer display after setting, eliminating the need to press additional buttons.
