To install this instrument into your aircraft, you need to do the following:

1.	Enable a second altimeter (<altimeter n="1">) module through the aircraft's instrumentation.xml (in case a custom one is used). 
	Make sure instrumentation/altimeter[1]/serviceable is set to true via your -set.xml file.
2.	Add S3.nas to your aircraft's list of included nasal files:
	<nasal>
		...
		<s3>
			<file>Aircraft/Instruments-3d/glider/vario/S3/S3.nas</file>
		</s3>
		...
	</nasal>
	** Note that it is important to put the file into <s3></s3> tags, as the animation xml may in the future reference the instrument by that name
3.	Add the model to your aircraft:
	<model>
		<path>Aircraft/Instruments-3d/glider/vario/S3/S3.xml</path>
		...
	</model>
4.	If you are using a custom electric system, make sure the vario is supplied at /systems/electrical/outputs/S3 when appropriate
5.	Add sound effects for this vario, e.g. by using the block below and adjusting it to fit:

<variometer-up>
	<name>variometer-up</name>
	<mode>looped</mode>
	<path>Aircraft/Instruments-3d/glider/vario/ilec-sc7/vario.wav</path>
