19 .TH ALTOSUI 1 "altosui" ""
21 altosui \- Rocket flight monitor
26 connects to a TeleDongle or TeleMetrum device through a USB serial device.
27 It provides a menu-oriented
28 user interface to monitor, record and review rocket flight data.
30 When connected to a TeleDongle device, altosui turns on the radio
31 receiver and listens for telemetry packets. It displays the received
32 telemetry data, and reports flight status via voice synthesis. All
33 received telemetry information is recorded to a file.
35 When connected to a TeleMetrum device, altosui can be used to configure the
36 TeleMetrum, and to downloads the eeprom data and store it in a file.
38 A number of other menu options exist, including the ability to export flight
39 data in different formats.
41 All data log files are recorded into a user-specified directory
42 (default ~/TeleMetrum). Files are named using the current date, the serial
43 number of the reporting device, the flight number recorded in the data
44 and either '.telem' for telemetry data or '.eeprom' for eeprom data.
