Altimeter 3 (ALT3) differential altimeter
Altimeter 3 is a differential altimeter, in that it indicates the altitude difference with respect
to the last zero set. This function is often used to measure the altitude difference in relation
to the take-off area, or while flying in weak thermals, to easily recognize altitude gain/loss.
A short press on the Clear ALT3 Key will reset the differential
altimeter ALT3 to zero.
