Available for the Rino 530 only, the Altimeter Page 

provides the current elevation, rate of ascent/descent, 

a profile of elevation changes over distance or time, or 

a profile of pressure changes over time. The Altimeter 

Page’s Option Menu allows you to select from a 

variety of display options such as plotting over time, 

plotting over distance, displaying the zoom ranges of 

measurement, viewing elevation or pressure points, and 

resetting data displays. Two user selectable data fields 

allow you to display a variety of current and recorded 

pressure and elevation related data.

The Status Window is located at the bottom of the page 

and displays the current elevation and your current rate 

of ascent or descent when moving. It can also display the 

ambient or the barometric pressure.

The Plot or Profile Field is located in the center of the 

page and can be configured to display either elevation or 

ambient pressure or barometer plots as selected from the 

Altimeter Page Option Menu.
Data Fields at the top of the page are user selectable and 

display a variety of recorded or current data. 

Four types of plots are possible:

• Elevation vs Time

• Elevation  vs Distance

• Barometric Pressure* vs Time

• Ambient Pressure* vs Time

* Ambient Pressure is the actual pressure at your location. Barometric 
Pressure is the ambient pressure measured relative to sea level.
