Description
The Pit Lab SkyAssistant Variometer is a small on-board instrument which indicates the RC model’s vertical speed by an audible signal. Lift is indicated by a pulsed tone with rate and frequency of the pulses depending on the climb rate. Sink is indicated by a low, continuous tone depending on the sink rate. Audible signal and voice messages about model state are transmitted by built-in radio transmitter and can be received on standard LPD or PMR receiver.
Features of the SkyAssistant include:
-
Voice announcement of altitude in [m] or [ft] at reach definable altitude step (default every 50m)
-
Voice announcement of on-board battery voltage, a message at each voltage drop of 0.1V and a voice alarm if it drops below a definable value
-
Voice announcement of temperature (battery, engine or air) in [°C] or [°F] with temperature data logging
-
Measurement of value and stability servo PPM signal and definable sound signal if interference is detected (works with PPM/PCM systems)
-
Measurement of atmospheric pressure in [Pa] or [inHg]
-
Triggering voice messages of measured values (altitude, voltage and temperature) by 3-way switch on RC transmitter
-
Few modes of work with vario tone on/off, automatic messages on/off, periodic messages on/off activated by 3-way switch
-
User defineable alarms: low voltage, high temperature, high altitude, PPM error
-
Recording of all measured values into Flash memory (logging time >10h in typical conditions: 5 parameters every 200ms)
-
Easy firmware updating and automated actualisation service
-
All logged data can be downloaded and graphed for off-line analysis
