In flight or âpadâ mode, the altimeter engages the flight
- state machine, goes into transmit-only mode to
- send telemetry, and waits for launch to be detected.
- Flight mode is indicated by an âdi-dah-dah-ditâ (âPâ for pad)
- on the beeper or lights, followed by beeps or flashes
- indicating the state of the pyrotechnic igniter continuity.
- One beep/flash indicates apogee continuity, two beeps/flashes
- indicate main continuity, three beeps/flashes indicate both
- apogee and main continuity, and one longer âbrapâ sound or
- rapidly alternating lights indicates no continuity. For a

One âneat trickâ of particular value when TeleMetrum or TeleMega are used with
