The PresMat Barometer measures the current atmospheric pressure.
Usage
Displays atmospheric pressure to 5 significant figures when active. Pressure below 0.0001 atm is the measurement of a vacuum (in game) at this time. This is low enough to have negligible effect on engine specific impulse, but may result in significant amounts of drag.
While it is activated, the barometer drains 0.0075 Electric Charge per second (27 E/hr).
