Checking The Current Barometric Pressure; Checking Changes In Barometric Pressure Over Time - Casio 5601 Operation Manual

Checking the Current
Barometric Pressure
1.
Enter the Barometer Mode.
Navigating Between Modes
l
Entering the Barometer Mode starts
measurement, and displays the
barometric pressure at your current
location and a barometric pressure graph.
After you enter the Barometer Mode,
●
the watch takes readings about every
five seconds for three minutes. After
that, a measurement is taken about
every two minutes or every five
seconds.
To toggle between measurement
interval settings, hold down (C) for at
least two seconds.

hold down (E) for at least two seconds.
Note
When you enter the Barometer Mode,
●
the second hand will indicate either
timekeeping seconds, or the
differential between barometer
measurements (whichever was
indicated the last time you were in the
Barometer Mode).
You can change what information is
indicated by the second hand.

The watch will automatically return to
●
the Timekeeping Mode from the
Barometer mode if you do not perform
any operation for about one hour.
The measurement range is 260 hPa to
●
1,100 hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg) (1
hPa (0.05 inHg) units). [- - -] will appear
for the measured value if it is outside
the allowable range.

Checking Changes in
Barometric Pressure Over
Time
The watch can be configured to show a graph
of pressure readings taken every two hours or
every two minutes.
You can display a graph of barometric
pressure readings for the past 20 hours or the
past 20 minutes. The square (
right of the graph indicates the latest
barometric pressure reading.

You can select a measurement interval of two
hours or two minutes for the barometric
pressure graph.

Hold down (C) for at least two seconds to
toggle between measurement interval
settings.
Two-hour interval
When the measurement interval of the
●
barometric pressure graph is two hours,
measurements are taken every two
minutes.
When the measurement interval of the
●
barometric pressure graph is two
minutes, measurements are taken
every five seconds.

Note
If you switch to the two-minute
●
measurement interval graph, the
watch will automatically return to the
two-hour measurement interval graph
after 24 hours.
Note that the graph will not be
●
displayed immediately after it is
switched to a two-minute
measurement interval graph.
Predicting Upcoming Weather
●
A trend
Means this:
like this:
Rising barometric pressure,
which indicates that upcoming
weather probably will be fair.
Falling barometric pressure,
which indicates that upcoming
weather probably will be bad.
Note
Large changes in barometric pressure
●
and/or temperature can cause past
data readings to be plotted outside of
the visible area of the graph. Though
plots are not visible, the data is still
maintained in watch memory.
The barometric pressure graph is not
●
displayed while Barometric Pressure
Change Indications are displayed.
