Sky Assistant Variometer and Data Logger
The SkyAssistant variometer is a small on-board device which
indicates the R/C model's vertical speed by an audible signal. Lift
is indicated by a pulsed tone with rate and frequency of the pulses
depending on the climb rate. Sink is indicated by a low, continuous
tone depending on the sink rate. Audible signal and voice messages
are transmitted by built-in radio transmitter and can be received
on standard LPD, PMR or FRS receiver.
In this player is possible to listen example of vario tone (if you don't see player, please allow to execute this page scripts in your browser).
Voice messages in all available languages can be listened on Supported languages page.

Additional features of the SkyAssistant includes:
- voice announcement of altitude in [m] or [ft] at reach definable altitude step (default every 50m),
- voice announcement of on-board battery voltage, a message at each voltage drop of 0.1V and a voice alarm if it drops below a definable value,
- voice announcement of temperature (battery, engine or air) in [°C] or [°F] with temperature data logging,
- measurement of value and stability servo PPM signal and definable sound signal if interference is detected (works with PPM/PCM systems),
- measurement of atmospheric pressure in [Pa] or [inHg],
- triggering voice messages of measured values (altitude, voltage and temperature) and device status,
- recording of all measured values into Flash memory (logging time >10h in typical conditions: 5 parameters every 200ms),
- easy firmware updating,
- all data can be downloaded and graphed for off-line analysis.
