The System menu is the central access point for all core configuration, and maintenance functions of the XCVario device. It provides access to software updates, hardware and sensor configuration, power and battery settings, unit selection, AHRS calibration, display behavior, and communication interfaces. These settings define how the device operates internally, how it interacts with connected sensors and peripherals, and how it integrates into the overall avionics environment.

Each functional area available through the System menu is described in detail in its own dedicated chapter later in this documentation. This structure allows users to focus on individual subsystems while maintaining a clear understanding of how the various system components are organized and interact within the XCVario platform.

This chapter provides a consolidated overview of system-level settings, optional configuration features, and maintenance functions, serving as a reference for configuring and maintaining the XCVario system.

XCV Device role

[Master]
[Second]

Set the role of your XCVario here.
Note: As this being the most central setup a reboot is required imidiately after changing the role of the variometer.
In a single-seater aircraft, this is normally [Master] and should not be changed.
In a two-seater aircraft, the second device—typically installed in the rear seat—must be set to [Second].
