General
XCVario Pur Edition – Next-Generation Smart Variometer
The XCVario Pur edition is a digital variometer with wired and wireless interfaces for XCSoar, LK8000, OpenVario, Naviter and compatible systems.
It uses high-resolution, temperature-compensated sensors for pressure, acceleration and temperature. Both TE-probe compensation and electronic TE are supported. Audio output is provided via an integrated speaker.
A Kalman filter is used for climb rate estimation, providing fast response with reduced noise. Load-factor-based polar correction (g-compensation) improves netto variometer accuracy during dynamic flight conditions.
The FLARM/NMEA interface allows task declaration, configuration and flight log download via XCSoar.
The system provides
- Variometer indication
- Airspeed indication
- Altitude indication
- Wind estimation
- Battery status
- Outside Air Temperature
- Flap control assistance
- Polar library with more than 150 glider polars
- WiFi, Bluetooth, Serial line interfaces with automated routing
Sensor precision and accuracy.
Thanks to the high resolution of the digital, temperature-compensated and factory-calibrated pressure sensors, even the smallest height differences of just 8 cm are detected. Properties such as accuracy, reliability and long-term stability are therefore given. The sensor for the dynamic pressure or speed or IAS enables an absolute accuracy of better than 1%, at 100 km/h the deviation is a maximum of 1 km/h.
The outside temperature can be measured with the digital temperature sensor with a resolution of 0.1° Celsius. It is included in the calculation of the TAS (True Airspeed) as an atmospheric parameter for determining the air density.
Human interface design
The new XCVario Pure marks a significant step forward in electronic variometer design. Its completely redesigned visual interface, combined with a new generation of audio feedback, provides a more intuitive and immediate connection between the pilot and the aircraft.
This manual introduces the new concept and shows how to get the most out of XCVario Pure’s enhanced visual and acoustic assistance.
