6. Altimeter information of your VDO MC 1.0GBMC Your VDO MC 1.0 does permanentely display following altimeter-information:1.0 • current altitude in meters of feet• current incline or grade in %• current temperature in °C or °FImportant: Current incline or grade is displayed in increments of 1%. A negative grade (descent) is indicated by a negative sign.The current incline / grade information is calculated every 4 sec (display refresh) by incorporating the TRIP DIST and TRIP ALTI information of the last 12 sec.Should you have climbed AND descended during the last 12 sec due to hilly conditions, the correct indication may be delayed.Information to be called in by pushing the ALTI buttonTRIP ALTI--MAX ALTI--AVG CLIMB--MAX CLIMB--TOTAL ALTI--TOP ELVTNTRIP ALTIMAX ALTIAVG CLIMBMAX CLIMBTOTAL ALTITOP ELVTNIndication of altitude climbed during the current / actual trip. Only positive changes in altitude are measured when speed impulses areprocessed simultaneously.Indication of the highest altitude reached during the current / actual trip.Indication of the average grade (in %) for the current / actual trip.Indication of the maximum grade (in %) for the current / actual trip.Indication of total altitude climbed during ALL previous trips.Indication of the highest elevation reached during ALL previous trips.16
6.1. The home altitude or basis altitude of choice6.1.1. Significance of the home or basis altitudeThe altitude calculation works by measuring barometric pressure. Your VDO MC 1.0 converts the data of current barometric pressure into the respectivealtitude. In order for your VDO MC 1.0 to indicate altitude and climbing precisely, your home or basis altitude must be entered before. The currentbarometric pressure is allocated to the home altitude entered. Changes in barometric pressure due to weather changes require a re-calibration (= changedbarometric pressure allocated to home altitude).GBMC1.0Your VDO MC 1.0 features the easy-to-use ALTI-correction (see chapter 6.1.3). Based on this this new home altitude (=changed barometric pressure ofstart location) all further measurings are calculated.For your home altitude you enter the altitude of your start location (i.e. home) which can be obtained from topographical maps or inquired for at nearby airports.Changes in barometric pressure are only converted to altitude climbed when speed impulses are processed at the same time. This avoids changes inweather conditions reflect in changes of the gained altitude indication.Accurate calculation of altitude requires the precise determination of home or basis altitude.To process barometric pressure data, there is a hole drilled into the bottom of the housing of your VDO MC 1.0.This hole must never be clogged or taped over.Please do check on its cleanliness regularly and free the hole carefully if needed. You must never poke a pointed instrument into the hole.17
