+.SH NAME
+altosui \- Rocket flight monitor
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B "altosui"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I altosui
+connects to a TeleDongle or TeleMetrum device through a USB serial device.
+It provides a menu-oriented
+user interface to monitor, record and review rocket flight data.
+.SH USAGE
+When connected to a TeleDongle device, altosui turns on the radio
+receiver and listens for telemetry packets. It displays the received
+telemetry data, and reports flight status via voice synthesis. All
+received telemetry information is recorded to a file.
+.P
+When connected to a TeleMetrum device, altosui can be used to configure the
+TeleMetrum, and to downloads the eeprom data and store it in a file.
+.P
+A number of other menu options exist, including the ability to export flight
+data in different formats.
+.SH FILES
+All data log files are recorded into a user-specified directory
+(default ~/TeleMetrum). Files are named using the current date, the serial
+number of the reporting device, the flight number recorded in the data
+and either '.telem' for telemetry data or '.eeprom' for eeprom data.
