Jolly Logic Altimeter Two 64 GB Edition
Jolly Logic Altimeter Two 64 GB Edition
AltimeterTwo is an instant flight analysis tool for model rocketry, no computer required. It is small enough to fit in most rockets, and it provides 10 key flight performance measures on its sunlight-readable screen for each flight, including max altitude, top speed, engine thrust duration, peak acceleration, ejection timing, and total flight time.
No batteries required. AltimeterTwo is rechargeable and includes a recharging cable that works in common USB ports.

Product Description
Description
A rechargeable digital altimeter (for model rockets only) that analyzes flight altitude, acceleration, top speed, flight duration and 6 other important flight statistics.
The AltimeterTwo retains the rugged design, easily-readable LCD, small size, and rechargeability of the AltimeterOne. With the addition of a 3-axis accelerometer and a 4X speed increase in processing speed, it can provide a full suite of important flight statistics that can help you analyze and improve your rocket’s performance.
AltimeterTwo has been approved by the National Association of Rocketry for use in rocketry competitions.

Simple Instructions
Just want the basics? Here’s how to use the AltimeterTwo, in as brief a form as possible:
1. Press and release the button quickly to turn the AltimeterTwo on or off.
2. Clear and reset for the next flight by holding the button down and releasing it when “Launch” appears.
3. Recharge by plugging it into a USB port on a computer. Make sure a red light appears when you plug it in; take it out after the green light appears.
AltimeterTwo User Guide
Step-by-Step Tour
Here’s a detailed walk through of how to operate the AltimeterTwo.
Turning It On and Off
Press the button and release it quickly to turn the AltimeterTwo on and off.
Accessing the Menu
If you press the button and continue to hold it down, you will see Menu and then be presented with a series of scrolling choices on the screen, one after another, which you can select by letting go of the button.
Resetting for the Next Flight
If you hold down the button and let go when you see “Launch”, AltimeterTwo will create a new flight record and be ready for the next flight. On the screen, you will now see “Ready”.
After the Flight
The AltimeterTwo will automatically display each of the flight analysis items for each flight.
Flight History
To see the last 100 flights, hold down the button until you see “History,” then release. The last 100 flights will be shown, most recent first. To exit the list, press the button quickly.
