B.30 METPRESS Specify Air Pressure

The metpress command allows you to specify air pressure. Air pressure specified with the metpress command does not affect receiver operation. Rather, it allows you to create a record of atmospheric conditions for post-processing purposes.

The metpress set command specifies air pressure at press. This command only stores the pressure value in volatile memory, and does not automatically generate a record. The humidity value can then be displayed/recorded by requesting the met log.

The metpress clear and the metpress default commands clear the air pressure setting.
