 Skydiving Barograph
The first barograph did not have a display, but was designed to print a paper copy of the logged time and freefall speeds to a small printer after the jump, since a portable computer was not available to me and drop zones did not have computers available to use.
Since a barograph determines freefall speed based on pressure measurement as opposed to actual airspeed measurement, what must be kept in mind is that this length of time is actually the time required to begin falling straight down rather than the time it takes to get to terminal velocity.
Other barograph jumps will be made in the future for the purpose of "filling out" the freefall speeds chart so that it can be used as a guide to jumpsuit selection, video partner and team personnel selection, load organizing, and as a general guide to skydivers attempting to fall at the same rate.

 Barograph
The instrument currently used to measure atmospheric pressure for the NPL on-line barograph is a good-quality, commercially available resonant pressure sensor.
The performance of all instrumentation changes with time and indeed the sensors used in the NPL on-line barograph, despite being state-of-the-art devices, have changed significantly since being installed and continuity of performance and accuracy is only achieved by regularly recalibrating the sensors and updating the calibration correction data applied by the host computer.
To the best of our knowledge, the NPL on-line barograph is unique inasmuch as it provides a fully traceable pressure measurement, with a properly calculated uncertainty, and also allows historical data to be displayed both graphically and digitally.
