LED flashes once per second. It indicates the state when Altis v4 is connected to the computer.

F5J / Max height mode

When there is no other mode active, Led indicates either maximum height or F5J start height. This is
determined by LED Display option.

The chosen height is indicated in the following form. Each digit is indicated by  a corresponding number of
short flashes. Zero is represented by a long flash. Digits are separated by a short pause, while the altitude
is repeated permanently and separated by a long pause.

See the following examples:

Firmware upgrade

The progress of firmware upgrade is indicated, too.

There is a constant period of flashing, but the length of the impuls is increasing. So in the beginning only a
very short flash appears. In the end of the, the flash is long while the pause is very short.

6. Work with Altis Micro in the Altis Flight Manager

The AerobTec Flight Manager (AFM) is a PC application for Windows which allows you to communicate
with Altis Micro and other devices made by AerobTec and to display and  process the flight data recorded
by them.

Altis Flight Manager can be downloaded from http://www.aerobtec.com/support/download/

Note: There is a separate manual for AFM. However, the following pages describe how to set up your Altis
Micro according to your needs.

In order to connect to the device click 

Tools -> Device 

or Device icon on the toolbar. A window will appear.

See Fig 7. Choose Altis Micro. AFM then automatically connects to your Altis Micro. If there is more than
one Altis Micro connected to your computer, you will be asked to choose which one you wish to connect.
When connected,  Altis Micro screen window will be displayed.
