The Radiosonde feature displays a table containing the most recent information received from radiosondes
2022-03-01 12:34:13 -05:00
based on data received via [Radiosonde Demodulators ](../../channelrx/demodradiosonde/readme.md ).
2022-03-01 12:17:56 -05:00
The chart can plot two data series vs time for the radiosonde selected in the table.

The Radiosonde feature can draw balloons objects on the [Map ](../../feature/map/readme.md ) feature in 2D and 3D.

< h3 > Radiosonde Table< / h3 >
The Radiosonde table displays the current status of each radiosonde, based on the latest received data from all Radiosonde Demodulators.
* Serial - The serial number that uniquely identifiers each radiosonde.
* Type - The type of radiosonde.
2023-07-23 11:16:40 -04:00
* Lat (°) - Latitude in degrees. East positive. Double clicking on this column will center the map on this object.
* Lon (°) - Longitude in degrees. West positive. Double clicking on this column will center the map on this object.
2022-03-01 12:17:56 -05:00
* Alt (m) - The altitude of the radiosonde in metres.
* Spd (km/h) - Speed over ground in kilometres per hour.
* VR (m/s) - Vertical climb rate in metres per second.
2023-07-23 11:16:40 -04:00
* Hdg (°) - Heading in degrees.
2022-03-01 12:17:56 -05:00
* Status - Flight status of the radiosonde (E.g. On ground, ascent or descent).
* P (hPA) - Air pressure in hectopascals. Not all RS41s include a pressure sensor. A value ending with 'U' indicates a uncalibrated estimate and may be inaccurate.
2023-07-23 11:16:40 -04:00
* T (°C) - Air temperature in degrees Celsius. A value ending with 'U' indicates a uncalibrated estimate and may be inaccurate.
2022-03-01 12:17:56 -05:00
* U (%) - Relative humidity in percent. A value ending with 'U' indicates a uncalibrated estimate and may be inaccurate.
* Alt Max (m) - The maximum altitude seen for the radiosonde in metres.
* Freq (MHz) - The transmission frequency in megahertz as indicated by the radiosonde.
* BurstKill status - Whether the BurstKill timer is active.
* BurstKill timer - BurstKill timer.
* Updated - Gives the date and time the last message was received.
* Messages - Displays the number of messages received.

The Radiosonde feature can plot balloons (during ascent) and parachutes (during descent) on the [Map ](../../feature/map/readme.md ).
2022-03-01 12:17:56 -05:00
To use, simply open a Map feature and the Radiosonde plugin will display objects based upon the data it receives from that point.
Selecting a radiosonde item on the map will display a text bubble containing information from the above table.
To centre the map on an item in the table, double click in the Lat or Lon columns.
