Altimeter
- Enable or Disable barometric altimeter as
desired
- On (uses
barometric pressure derived elevation)
- Off
(uses GPS derived elevation)
Auto Calibration
- Choose when the altimeter is calibrated
-
Altimeter calibration can only be performed after GPS signal
acquisition
Barometer Mode
- Choose the barometer mode desired
-
Variable Elevation (Allows the barometer to measure changes in elevation while you are moving)
-
Fixed Elevation (Assumes device is stationary and barometric pressure changes are only due to weather)
Pressure Trending
- Select how the device records pressure data
-
Save When Power On
-
Save Always (wakes the
device at 15 minute intervals to take pressure readings - useful when
watching for pressure fronts)
Plot Type
- Elevation / Time (Record elevation changes over a period of time)
-
Elevation / Distance (Record elevation changes over a distance)
-
Barometric Pressure (Record barometric pressure over a period of time)
-
Ambient Pressure (Record ambient pressure changes over a period of time)
Calibrate Altimeter
- Allows the user to
calibrate the altimeter using a known value
-
Do you know the correct elevation?
-
Do you know the correct pressure?
-
Do you want to use the current GPS altitude?
