RB_Hammer 0 #1 February 21, 2007 I have 29 jumps on my AltiTrack and I love it, but it only recorded 27 of the jumps. I did two hop n pops as part of my AFF training. The first was from 5000 and the second was from 3500. Neither was recorded on my AltiTrack. Anyone else ever had that happen? Was there something I should have set on the AltiTrack to tell it I was going to do a hop n pop so it would have recorded it?"I'm not lost.

DougH 270 #2 February 21, 2007 In the manual it states that you can change the dive type to student mode -stu ... and that will help it detect short freefalls. I always seem to be taking a good delay on my low jumps so it hasn't been a problem.

TALONSKY 0 #3 February 21, 2007 I am not sure if this would apply but with L&B's older ProTrac, you need atleast 9 seconds freefall for it to register the jump. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkycndo 0 #4 February 21, 2007 Not sure if they use the same detection requirements for the AltiTrack as the Protrack, but it might require a 7 second delay to register the jump. You can manually add the jump if it didn't register. If you do it manually, don't be surprised if it doesn't show up on the display when you turn on the alti. It will once you make a jump that does get logged.50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RB_Hammer 0 #8 February 21, 2007 Quoteit registered my H&P but you have to change the dive type to Stu it will detect jumps as short as 2 seconds Great. Thanks for that, I will change that setting the next HnP I do. I wonder what value there is for not simply using that setting all of the time. I had one jump where I had to do a cutaway and I was able to see the increase in speed between the times I chopped and deployed the reserve. Maybe if I was using that setting, it might have logged it as a seperate jump."I'm not lost. I don't know where I'm going, but there's no sense in being late."

ZigZagMarquis 9 #16 February 22, 2007 Like others have said... ... but too, I thought there was a way to add jumps to an AltiTrack if a jump didn't register for some reason or if you jumped, but didn't have you AltiTrack with you and you're using it to track jump numbers in lieu of a log-book... check the manual... but, personally, call me "old school", but I always found a log book easier... ... also, another option, give you AltiTrack to someone else to take on a skydive for you on some load you're not on to catch the jump numbers up... ... course, the freefall time will get goobered up then too maybe, if you care... ... what was it I said about log books...

RB_Hammer 0 #17 February 22, 2007 Oh, I do have a logbook and I do record each jump in it. I do know how to add a jump to it, but I did not notice the missing two jumps until the end of the day and I downloaded the jumps into the JumpTrack software. There is no way to insert a jump into the AltiTrack, but I did find out how to insert the jumps in JumpTrack. I did not start using the AltiTrack until jump 11 and I did not set the jump numbers before I started using it, so on the AltiTrack I had jump 1 recorded which was actually jump 11. I did find out how to insert the first 10 jumps into JumpTrack as well. I have all of them in my JumpTrack logbook and have set the starting jump number in my AltiTrack so now the two are in sync. The first tracking jump I did with a group, at the debreif, someone said, "I think were were in the track for at least 50 seconds." I was able to replay the jump on the AltiTrack and show everyone that it recorded my freefall as 69 seconds. Take away about 7 or 8 seconds of tracking away from the group and we figured we tracked for just over 60. Thought that was pretty cool to have that type of information as well. I have one cutaway, and the jump profile shown for that shows a cool peak where I chopped. Kind of cool gee whiz stuff..."I'm not lost.

saxboy 0 #20 October 18, 2008 Hi there! Today I did one hop n pop with my Altitrack from 5080 ft. Dpl altitude is 3200ft. It records the jump but didn't record the speed.Max,Min,Avg. The strange is that when I saw the replay the speed after 5 seconds works..??? Any idea? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need a certain amount of free fall to get those data. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #23 October 20, 2008 This happened to my Altitrack. After the jump, I just modified the jump number in the Altitrack right after the hop-n-pop. Now my Altitrack has correct jump numbers for every skydive, the hop+pop just manifests itself as a missing entry in the Altitrack, when I scroll through its electronic log. I don't use Jumptrack (at this time), I use paper logbooks so I need to make sure the jump numbers correspond. The Altitrack manual tells you how to change your jump number, so you can resume jump numbers where it left off (such as when you borrow other altimeters instead of the Altitrack for a time, or when it doesn't log the jump).

I have sold my Pro-Track for similar reasons. My Neptune manage to log every jumps so far somehow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chubba 0 #25 October 20, 2008 I've set mine to "STU" (student) mode hoping it can pick up the short freefalls. Haven't done a hop n pop since. /fingers crossed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
