'''Ascent profile''' MFD mode records and displays four ship parameters and displays them on individual graphs. '''Custom MFD''' must be selected in Launchpad/Modules in order for this to work.

'''Ascent profile''' MFD mode records and displays on graphs four ship's parameters:
 
*'''Altitude''' as a function of time.
 
*'''Pitch angle''' as a function of altitude.
 
*'''Radial velocity''' as a function of altitude
 
*'''Tangential velocity''' as a function of altitude.

*'''PG''' {{Key|Shift}}+{{Key|P}}: Switch display page.
 
*'''AR''' {{Key|Shift}}+{{Key|A}}: Set altitude range.
 
*'''VRR''' {{Key|Shift}}+{{Key|R}}: Set radial velocity range.
 
*'''VTR''' {{Key|Shift}}+{{Key|T}}: Set tanfential velocity range.
 
 
 
The graphs update every 5 seconds and up to 200 samples are displayed at any one time. By default, the graph ranges are automatically adjusted, but, you can set the ranges manually with the buttons or hot keys.
 
 
 
In the graph for tangential velocity (Vtan), there will be a horizontal gray line depicting the orbital velocity for a circular at a given altitude. If the tangential velocity of the ship crosses this line, and at the same time, the radial velocity crosses zero, the ship is in a circular orbit, or close to it.
