The PresMat Barometer measures the current atmospheric pressure.

Uses

Displays atmospheric pressure to 5 significant figures when active. Pressure below 1e-4 atm are shown as vacuum. This is low enough to have negligible effect on engine Isp, but may result in significant amounts of drag.

While it is activated, the barometer drains 0.0075 Electric Charge per second (27 E/hr).

Description
