Temperature


Relative Humidity


Barometric Pressure

General Temperature:

Displays the temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Heat Index:

Displays the measure of how humidity acts along with

high temperatures to reduce the body's ability to cool

itself. In most cases, the heat index will be lower than

the temperature.

Dew point:

Displays the temperature at which air becomes

saturated with moisture (the temperature at which fog

will form).

General Relative Humidity:

Displays the current relative humidity. Relative

humidity is the amount of water vapor measured in

the air, divided by the potential amount of vapor

that the air can hold – at that temperature. The

relative humidity comes factory calibrated.

However, the Skymaster can be calibrated manually

for more demanding field requirements. To calibrate

the relative humidity, see the Humidity Calibration

section.

Unit of Measure:

The Skymaster can display barometric pressure in

inches of mercury (inHg) or in millibars / hectopascals

(hpa mb).

Barometer Indicator:

BAR - Indicates the unit is barometer mode.

Pressure History Bar Graph:

Displays barometric pressure history for the past 16

hours. Note: The unit must be on for 16 hours before

the complete graph is displayed. For more

information, please see section titled Bar Graph.
