Version 0.7.1 is the first release containing our new cross-platform Java-based user interface. AltosUI can:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Receive and log telemetry from a connected TeleDongle
device. All data received is saved to log files named with the
current date and the connected rocket serial and flight
numbers. There is no mode in which telemetry data will not be
saved.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Download logged data from TeleMetrum devices, either through a
direct USB connection or over the air through a TeleDongle
device.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Configure a TeleMetrum device, setting the radio channel,
callsign, apogee delay and main deploy height. This can be done
through either a USB connection or over a radio link via a
TeleDongle device.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Replay a flight in real-time. This takes a saved telemetry log
or eeprom download and replays it through the user interface so
you can relive your favorite rocket flights.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Reprogram Altus Metrum devices. Using an Altus Metrum device
connected via USB, another Altus Metrum device can be
reprogrammed using the supplied programming cable between the
two devices.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Export Flight data to a comma-separated-values file. This takes
either telemetry or on-board flight data and generates data
suitable for use in external applications. All data is exported
using standard units so that no device-specific knowledge is
needed to handle the data.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Speak to you during the flight. Instead of spending the flight
hunched over your laptop looking at the screen, enjoy the view
while the computer tells you what’s going on up there. During
ascent, you hear the current flight state and altitude
information. During descent, you get azimuth, elevation and
range information to try and help you find your rocket in the
air. Once on the ground, the direction and distance are
reported.
