Once the parameters are configured to your satisfaction, click OK, which will download the settings to the
Dashboard. Note that you can change the parameters at any time by following the above steps.

Note: If you wish to clear all previously configured parameters, hit the Clear button on the bottom of the utility.

Configuring Variometer Alarms (Pro and Glide Systems only)

The Variometer parameter (“Var”) must be displayed on the Dashboard for the variometer tones to work correctly.
Please make sure you add that parameter when you configure the Dashboard!
If you wish to configure climbrate and/or sinkrate alarms for variometer support, click the Climbrate/Variometer button in
the alarms section. Note that the Variometer/Climbrate button will only appear when the Variometer parameter is
selected and Enabled. Note also that when the Variometer parameter is enabled, the Configure Variometer page will also
automatically appear.

Carefully read the instructions on the Configure Variometer page. This page should be self explanatory. The audible
climbrate/sinkrate alarms are configured in basically the same way that other alarm parameters are configured. One
difference is that both climbrate and sinkrate alarms can be simultaneously programmed.

Note that the altitude value displayed (if the altitude parameter is selected for display) is by default averaged and updated
once during each climbrate measurement time interval. If you wish to display the raw, unaveraged altitude value,
uncheck this box. Note that the altitude may “jump around” a bit if raw mode is chosen.

Configuring Landing Speed Variable Beeps (Stall Speed Alarm, Pro System
Only)

WARNING: the Stall Speed Alarm is only intended as an aid in maintaining a safe landing speed. Of course, stall
speed varies with pitch and other factors. Do not rely solely on the Stall Speed Alarm for feedback on your
landing speed!

To set up a notification alarm which will begin beeping slowly at the specified airspeed, and increase down to a very rapid
beep at half the specified airspeed, follow the steps below:

Select the “Speed” parameter, and enable it.

Click “Low Alarm Enabled” button.

Enter the speed at which you wish the Dashboard to begin beeping slowly, as the Alarm Trigger value.

Click the “Enable a varying beep rate for this alarm” button.

Note that none of the other alarm parameters for Speed have any effect, once the “Enable a varying beep rate for this
alarm” button is checked.

Before using the Stall Speed Alarm feature, we recommend gently squeezing the pitot tube, to simulate airspeed. First,
squeeze it so that the speed displayed on the Dashboard is near the trigger value you entered. The dashboard should beep
slowly. Then, as you slowly decrease pressure on the pitot tube, the beep rate will increase. It might be good practice to
imagine yourself flying, and try to keep a constant, safe speed just by listening to the beeps, and have a friend watch the
dashboard to see if you are able to maintain a safe speed.

Note that the alarm will silence whenever the speed drops below half of the trigger speed.

Servo Display on the Dashboard

If you calibrated your servo movements with the software during Recorder setup, the Seagull should display the correct
names of your servos, i.e., “Ailerons.” If you did not calibrate, servos will be labeled “Servo 1”, etc.
