3.2.5 Using automatic profile
The automatic profile switches between the altimeter and
barometer profiles according to your movement.
It is not possible to measure weather and altitude changes at the
same time, as both cause a change in the surrounding air pressure.
Suunto Traverse senses vertical movement and switches to
measuring altitude, when needed. When altitude is shown, it is
updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds.
If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical
movement within 12 minutes), Suunto Traverse interprets all
pressure changes as weather changes. The measurement interval is
10 seconds. The altitude reading remains steady and if the weather
changes, you will see changes in the sea level air pressure reading.
If you are moving in altitude (more than 5 meters of vertical
movement within 3 minutes), Suunto Traverse interprets all
pressure changes as movements in altitude.
Depending on which profile is active, you can access the altimeter
or barometer in the alti-baro display with [VIEW].
NOTE:
When you are using the automatic profile, barometer or
altimeter icons are not shown on the alto-baro display.
