Valeport VA500 Operating Manual page 13

Configuration and Operation
If the Altimeter is fitted with the optional pressure sensor, this can
be configured here.
Units can be dBar, metres or feet.
Tare allows the pressure sensor to be zeroed to atmospheric
pressure.
Latitude is used in the conversion from pressure to depth.
Continuous output rates can be 1,2 or 4 Hz
Alternatively the VA500 can be triggered with a serial command (S
followed by a carriage return) or via TTL (see wiring schedule in
section 6)
Once configuration is complete, the wizard will summarise the
commands to be sent to the instrument.
The configuration can also be saved to file for later use or
reference.
If the Run mode check box is ticked the instrument will start
outputting data into the terminal window behind once the
configuration is complete.
