Uh... that is indeed ugly. S3 (minimal glider weight) https://gliding.lxnav.com/wp-content/uploads/manuals/LXS3ManualEnglishVer0110rev7.pdf S7 (minimal glider weight) https://gliding.lxnav.com/wp-content/uploads/manuals/LXS7ManualEnglishVer0533rev17.pdf

So according to the protocol specification 1.04 from LXNAV:  

I´ll contact them and ask them whether this is a bug in the docs...

I have access to an S80, which runs the same firmware as the S100. Some testing just on the vario side and observing the NMEA traffic.   |   |   |   |  ...

Rereading the S7 Manual:  So even if they call it minimum weight, they actually mean refrence weight.

So yes, all the weights have to be entered manually on both sides. The Vaulter vario uses the following command to set the overload factor: ``` $PITV1,WL=1.35 ``` According to...
