The changes are applied immediately. *** **Configuration from a computer (USB)** \ The Solar can also be configured by connecting it to a computer via a USB-C cable. To configure the Solar from a computer: * Connect the Solar to your computer using a USB-C cable. * Launch the Syride Link software. * The Solar is automatically detected. * Click on “Instrument settings”. * Modify the desired settings. The changes are applied immediately to the instrument. *** **Available settings** \ Syride Link allows you to configure the following parameters: **Sound volume** \ Allows you to adjust the variometer sound level.\ This setting can also be modified directly using the Solar button. *** **Variometer thresholds** \ Allows you to adjust the sound trigger thresholds: * climb threshold, * descent threshold. These settings allow you to adapt the variometer sensitivity to your preferences. *** **Zeroing function** \ Allows you to enable or disable the zeroing function.\ When enabled, the Solar emits a specific audible signal when the air mass is close to neutral, which can help identify areas favorable for lift.\ This function is disabled by default. *** **Auto power off** \ Allows you to configure the automatic shutdown of the instrument after a period of inactivity.\ This parameter helps optimize battery life. *** **Recommendations** \ It is recommended to use Syride Link to adjust the Solar settings according to your preferences and your type of flying.\ Once configured, the Solar operates autonomously with the defined settings. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://manuals.syride.com/solar-english-manual/9-configuring-the-solar-with-syride-link.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
