9) Configuring the Solar with Syride Link

The Solar can be fully configured using the Syride Link application on a smartphone or the Syride Link software on a computer.

These tools allow you to adapt the variometer operation to your preferences and your flying style.


Configuration from a smartphone (Bluetooth)

To configure the Solar from your phone:

  • Turn on the Solar.

  • Enable Bluetooth on your phone.

  • Open the Syride Link application.

  • Connect the Solar.

  • Click on the bottom menu with the Bluetooth icon.

  • Click on “Instrument settings”.

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.
