– Turn the Rocket Altimeter on and see the display of hardware, software version and battery status.
– The Rocket Altimeter is always ready to fly* with the automatic detection of a launch using the 9 Degrees of Freedom Internal.
– Measurement System (9DOF IMS).
– After the launch, the screen will display the data file name, altitude (m), and maximum acceleration (m/s2).
– Use the push button to access the menu.
– 2 second hold – enters or exit the menu.
– Single click – switches between menu options.
– Double click – selects an option
– When viewing a record, a double click will return you to the flight history to view different flight records.
– To charge the Rocket Altimeter, switch it to the “on” position and plug it in.**
– High performance 32-bit microprocessor
– Nine Degrees of Freedom Inertial
