The beep should reflect immediate Vz, not its average #53

The beep seems to be linked to the average Vz, not the immediate Vz.

Original mail from submitter:

when you put the cpilot pro, the brauninger and the xperia active running gaggle together you will notice that when you lift all 3 devices in 1 meter in 1 sec all 3 devices will start beeping fairly in the same time all 3 will show around 0.8 to 1.0m/s but as soon as the brauninger and cpilot pro stop going up they stop beeping and the gaggle vario continue beep for a few more couple of seconds which can be confusing for a pilot as you are not going up anymore and the vario still peeping. I found the problem and maybe you guys can fix it. the problem is not on the sensor itself the, the sensor inside the xperia is very good, the problem is, when the cpilot pro for example you lift it 1m in 1 sec and stop it will beep until 1.0m/s then stop beeping even when display numbers are going down like +0.8, +0,7, +0.4 until 0.0m/s it is not peeping because the the software intelligently know you are not going up even tho it is showing positive (+) values in the other hand the vario from gaggle reach 1m in 1 sec the same way as the cpilot pro but when the numbers are going down +0.8, +0.7, +0.6 until +0.1m/s it still beeping even tho its not going up anymore!! so if you guys could carefully look into this and fix this little thing making it like the other varios the gaggle vario will be unbeatable.
