set baro

[Guest Eugen]

Hi,I wonder how you can store a baro value and at a later moment use that same value see my code below. I have read FAQ 15 and 19 and I assume it is the same with the baro but how can you convert it to the k-scale before storing?BrgdsEugen%Push To Alter STD %(A:Kohlsman setting hg, inHg) 100 * flr 2991 != if{ (A:Kohlsman setting hg, inHg) (>L:Baro nr, enum) 16210 (>K:KOHLSMAN_SET, InHG) } els{ ( L:Baro nr, enum) (>K:KOHLSMAN_SET, InHG) }

Eugen,Perhaps you can use this one?Sets QNE and QNH:(>K:BAROMETRIC)16210.5 (>K:KOHLSMAN_SET)Jan"Procul Negotiis"

Hi,What I mean hould I add 16210 or should multiply with 16210 to the displayed value.BrgdsEugen

Use 16*setting_in_MB as argument for the K: event.e.g.

"1013.3 16 * int (>K:KOHLSMAN_SET)"

for setting 1013.3 MB.Arne Bartels

Hi, againfirst part is succesful but when I try to click again to retrieve the original value it does'nt work ??Eugen%Push To Alter STD %(A:Kohlsman setting setting mb, millibar) int 1013 != if{ (A:Kohlsman setting mb, millibar) (>L:Baro nr, enum) 1013 16 * int (>K:KOHLSMAN_SET) } els{ (L:Baro nr, enum) 16 * int (>K:KOHLSMAN_SET) }

What's wrong with this statement :(A:Kohlsman setting setting mb, millibar)compared to(A:Kohlsman setting mb, millibar)?Arne Bartels

I know, I know!!!The word setting is repeated!!!(VBG)No worries, Eugen, you should see some of my mistakes when coding...

[Guest Eugen]

Hi Guys,Hehe, I obviously need a pair of strong glasses. I could'nt see until now, I read what thought I had written :-)Thanks, what would I do with out you :-)brgdsEugen

Hi all,I have a question:What do you want with the code?Is it just a way to store a local QNH and bring it back later?I think pressure should change in time.I use transition altitude to autoset QNH and QNE. Jan"Procul Negotiis"

[Guest Eugen]

Hi Jan,Yes that is right. Pulling the baro knob selects the standard baro reference setting. Pushing the knob from the STD position makes the last selected QNH baro setting available.//Eugen

Eugen,That is ok, but when you restore the original QNH after some time, passing transition altitude, the local QNH can be quite different.Then you have a wrong altimeter-setting or don't i understand something?Jan"Procul Negotiis"
