=== Telemetry and settings === The device is compatible with JETIBOX for programming. The JETIBOX menu is divided into three sections: * '''Actual values''' - Displays the latest telemetry values (altitude, vario, pressure, temperature) together with minimums and maximums. ** '''Reset Min/Max''' - Press left+right buttons together to reset all minimums and maximums. * '''Settings''' - Basic settings of the sensor. ** '''Language''' - You can choose the language of the JETIBOX screen. ** '''Vario sensitivity''' - Sets the amount of filtering for the pressure sensor data. By increasing the sensitivity you will get faster response to altitude changes. Please note that the indicated noise may be increased as well. (Default value: Medium) ** '''Sink rate''' - Rate of airplane descent when there are no thermal effects. The value of sink rate is added to the climb rate. This will result in locating thermal streams more precisely.<br>Example: When the model flies at its nominal sink rate 0.5m/s, the vario is silent. As soon as the model enters any thermal upstream, the vario wil start beeping (although the airplane may still be descending). ** '''Sealevel pressure''' - The sea level pressure is taken as a reference to calculate the absolute altitude. To get the most accurate calculation of the altitude, set the pressure at your location adjusted to the sea level. The International Standard Atmosphere Model defines the sea level pressure to be 1013hPa. ** '''Round altitude''' - Permits or denies rounding the altitude values displayed on the transmitter. Relative and absolute altitude round to full meters, decimal part is omitted. ** '''Altitude alarm''' - You can set a high altitude alarm. '''*)''' ** '''Vario alarm''' - You can set an alarm for excessive climb or sink rate.'''*)''' ** '''Alarm interval''' - Sets the time period between alarm announcement. * '''Service''' - In this menu you can view the device version and reset it to the default factory configuration. '''*)''' The alarm setting is compatible with Duplex and Hott systems. ==== JETIBOX Connection ==== Plug the MicroVario into the sensor slot of the JETIBOX. Power it up with a battery with appropriate voltage (4.5β8.4V). Now you can configure the sensor using the arrows on the JETIBOX. ==== Complete menu structure ==== ==== Graupner hott menu structure ==== MicroVario offers telemetry as a standard VARIO telemetry module. ==== Futaba and Multiplex connection ==== Futaba and Multiplex systems do not offer wireless device configuration. The telemetry transmission is possible with the following fixed sensor slots: {| class="wikitable" |+ ! !'''Futaba S.Bus2''' !'''Multiplex MSB''' Β |- |'''Altitude''' |19 |6 |- |'''Vario''' |18 |7 |- |'''Note''' |Manual detection in the menu Linkage β Sensor.
