Barograph Recording [Model 6010]
Recording Start / Stop / Store
The 6010 is able to record the altitude profile of a flight as well as ambient temperature or
airspeed. When the barograph feature is turned on
( in MEMO Set-Mode), the barogram
recording will start as soon as the instrument is switched on. The number of the current
flight being recorded is 0; however the flight will only be stored in the barogram memory
and in the Logbook if the requirements for flight acceptance have been fulfilled. While a
flight is being recorded, you cannot enter Set-Mode or Option-Mode for MEMO, TIME,
ALT1 or ALT2. This is to prevent manipulation of barogram data.
If the Set-Mode is accessed, and an actual flight has not started yet (no flight acceptance),
the flight timer will reset to zero. This feature can be used to obtain an accurate start time
for the flight timer. For example, press and hold the Alt1 Key just prior to takeoff, make a
last minute adjustment to the altitude (if necessary), let the instrument return to the normal
flight display on its own and then launch; the instrument will now have your actual start
time for the logbook. Be sure to switch off the 6010 when you land to insure an accurate
stop time for the flight time in the logbook. If there is a valid flight being recorded and you
access the MEMO display, the instrument will automatically exit the MEMO display and
return to normal flight operation after 12 seconds.
The barogram memory is approximately 130 hours of altitude recording at 15-second
intervals. The recording duration is proportionately reduced if a shorter record interval is
selected and if temperature or airspeed is also recorded. If the 6010 does not have
sufficient empty memory for the recording of the current flight, the barogram of the oldest
flight will automatically be deleted.
The instrument transfers recorded data to static memory at two-minute intervals. In the
event of a power interruption, only the last two minutes of data would be missing from a
barogram. The barogram memory in the 6010 is static; consequently if the batteries
become fully depleted or are removed the recorded data will remain intact for 10+ years.
Time Marker
If the 6010 is recording a barogram, markers can be inserted by pressing the ALT1/ ALT2
key, a confirmation tone will be given and the marker number will be briefly shown in ALT1
display. This feature can be used to mark events on the barogram (e.g. passing a turn
point or landmark, etc.). When a marker is set it will be recorded in the barogram at the
next record interval according to the selected record rate (1, 5, or 15 seconds).
Press 3 sec.
If flight acceptance is present, a 3-second press of the
ALT 1/ALT2 Key will set a marker.
