CHRONOGRAPH

WHAT ARE LAPS AND SPLITS

The Alterra/Aerial unit displays both 

LAP

 and 

SPLIT

 times on screen. 

LAP

 is a discrete period of time from when the 

CHRONOGRAPH

 

has started (Lap 1) or since the end of a previous lap. A 

SPLIT

 is the 

cumulative total of all previous 

LAPS

. Any time an individual lap is timed 

it also automatically generates a corresponding split.  

The Alterra/Aerial units feature a sophisicated digital 

CHRONOGRAPH

 timing system capable of 

storing multiple timed workouts. The chronograph has a resolution of 0.01 seconds and displays both 
lap time and split time on screen simultaneously.
