== Overview ==

The VTI SCP1000-D01 (SPI) is a barometer/pressure sensor. '''Unfortunately this device is no longer being produced.'''

The corresponding I2C device was tested in a simple static noise comparsion [[Baro_comparsion|setup]].

== Usage ==

To use it load the baro_scp module:
{{Box Code|conf/airframes/myplane.xml|
<source lang="xml">
  <modules>
    ...
    <load name="baro_scp.xml"/>
  </modules>
</source>
}}

=== Configuration ===

To see the sensors data in the log file set the SENSOR_SYNC_SEND in your airframe file. Every time new data is available it will be sent directly.
{{Box Code|conf/airframes/myplane.xml|
<source lang="xml">
  <modules>
    ...
    <load name="baro_scp.xml">
      <define name="SENSOR_SYNC_SEND"/>
    </load>
  </modules>
</source>
}}

===Result message===

There is no conversion needed so the raw data is output, the pressure is given in 1/100 of Pascal.
{{Box Code|conf/messages.xml|

  </message>
