ENVIRONMENT MENU

Enviro - Setting Enviro to Live updates the ballistic
solver with current sensor data for temperature,
pressure, and relative humidity once every second.
Selecting Lock for Enviro captures the current
environmental inputs and makes them user editable.
Lat – Latitude. This input can be found on a map or
internet search for your area.
Temp – Ambient Temperature is the temperature
measured at the external temperature sensor.
SP – Station Pressure (Absolute Pressure) is the pressure
exerted by the earth's atmosphere at any given point.
RH – Relative Humidity is the amount of moisture
currently held by the air as a percentage of the total
possible moisture that the air could hold at the current
temperature.
Dalt - Density Altitude is the altitude at which the
density of the theoretical standard atmospheric
conditions (ISA) would match the actual local air density.

BALLISTICS MENU

Range – Range is the distance to target
Elv – Elevation is the vertical correction needed to hit a
target at a given range.
Wnd1 – Windage 1 is the horizontal correction needed to
hit a target at a given range and average measured wind
speed.
Wnd2 – Windage 2 is the horizontal correction needed
to hit a target at a given range and maximum measured
wind speed.
Lead – Lead is the horizontal correction needed to hit a
target moving left or right at a given speed and must be
added or subtracted to the windage solution depending
on the targets direction of motion.
RemV – Remaining Velocity is the amount of a bullet's
initial velocity retained at a given distance. Transonic
speeds are indicated by a small dot. Subsonic speeds are
indicated by a large dot.
RemE – Remaining Energy is the amount of a bullets initial
energy retained at a given distance attributed to the spin
drift.
