Cobra is right on - I beleive I responded to your email a little while ago, but just to recap in case this is a different post:

Additional instruments can be everything from indicated alt to an AoA sensor. Generally they can be satisfied with an AHRS source (like Stratux, Stratus, or Astrolink) but the catch-all we have right now is the BOM by Levil.

Thanks again Brolin.  I am going to try my iLevil 3AW  (ADSB - IN) which has pitot/static ports connected to the pitot/static system in my plane.  There is a utility app for the iLevil device and I will see how that is configured.

Going to the airport tomorrow and will report back here.

Got to the airport and did a little test.  The Levil Aviation app (AHRS Utility) allows the user to configure their ADSB devices. One of the configuration settings in the app is for Air Data Source, with the choices being Pressure - GPS - Both.  I have mine set to Pressure.  And yes, there is an easy way to set (or reset) the correct barometer reading.

So in my case, the altitude being displayed on the 740b tablet is the Pressure Altitude.
