Fig 9: Logging settings

Note that the more parameters you log or the lower the sample time is, the more memory it consumes.

However, there is memory enough to log about 15hours of data when logging all available parameters with

a Sample time of 0,1s. With different settings you can log up to several days of data.

You can choose also a trigger type – this determines when your device starts logging. There are the

following options:

Always on – Data logging begins once the device is initialized

•

RC trigger – When Altis v4 is connected to a receiver channel controlled by a switch on your R/C

•

transmitter. You will activate the logging manually by turning this channel on. Note that this option

is not available for some of the competition settings.

Altitude trigger – The device starts logging when the plane reaches a certain altitude. It is possible

•

to set your desired altitude.

Competition settings (Fig 10) – There are several pre-programmed standard competitions. You can

simply choose the one you want from the Competition Type list. This choice sets the proper values of all

necessary parameters.

Of course, you can customize the parameters according to your needs. For example, you can set a motor

switch at certain altitude or at certain time.

At the bottom of the Competition Settings tab there are Safety and Training settings. Allow Emergency

Motor On has the following function:

In some competitions it is not allowed to switch the motor on again during the flight. However, you may

want to have the ability to switch the motor on again in an emergency situation. The user can choose to

enable this or not. If enabled, when the motor is switched on for an emergency the Altis v4 restarts the

recorded F5J height and it is recorded so it can be shown on the flight graph.

Sometimes during training it is not practical to reset your Altis v4 to start a new flight each time you land
