Elevation assumes the device is stationary at a fixed
elevation, so the barometric pressure should only change
due to weather.
Pressure Trending : Sets how the device records pressure
data. Save Always can be useful when you are watching for
pressure fronts.
Plot Type : Records elevation changes over a period of time or
distance, records barometric pressure over a period of time,
