Sure. Using monitor idle in the altosui, you can see live baro and accel readings in the table tab. And if you put the board in pad mode, it's not hard to "fake a flight" either by swinging the board to accelerate it and/or by pulling enough vacuum to trip the altitude change limit. Downloading and plotting the data from such a "flight" can be an amusing educational exercise... Bdale
