No matter which level of accuracy you choose (good/better/best) your Newton will provide
you with excellent consistency of results.
Consistent readings are the key to proper
use of a power meter.
APPENDIX 4 explains in greater detail what is meant by accuracy and consistency.
RECOMMENDED: BETTER ACCURACY
Install the ISAAC software on your computer, then connect your Newton to your computer
and launch the ISAAC software. Then go to “Device/Set Up Newton…”
The “Device/Set Up Newton” procedure increases the accuracy of your first-ride calibration.
Just answer a few questions regarding your bike and body weight, height, ride position,
mount location, and road conditions.
Once the “Set Up Newton” questions are answered,
click the “Better Accuracy”
button.
Your Newton’s internal settings are updated and the accuracy of your Newton will improve
from “Good” to “Better”. See APPENDIX 4 for a discussion of accuracy and consistency.
You can manually access the “Set Up Newton” feature at any time, with the ISAAC
command “Device/Set Up Newton…”
OPTIONAL: BEST ACCURACY “CAL RIDE”
If you’re looking for maximum accuracy from your Newton, a short “Cal Ride” will dial-in
your Newton for highest accuracy and consistency
.
See APPENDIX 4 for a discussion of
accuracy and consistency.
On the final screen of the “Set Up Newton” procedure,
click the “Best Accuracy”
button.
Your Newton will be configured internally to perform a Cal Ride.
You need about 10 minutes to perform a Cal Ride. The Cal Ride fine-tunes your Newton for
maximum accuracy. This is an easy, leisurely ride; there’s no need to race, and no reason
to worry! Best of all, this is a one-time calibration; its results are permanently memorized
by the Newton.
A Cal Ride is really simple: you will ride down a road for 5 minutes, then STOP, then turn
your bike around, and then ride back on the same road to your starting point. That’s it!
Here’s how to do the Cal Ride:
1.
Use ISAAC to perform the “Set Up Newton” procedure.
On the final step of
the “Set Up Newton” procedure, click the “Best Accuracy” button
2.
After clicking the “Best Accuracy” button in ISAAC, the center window of the
Newton will start to flash “do Cal”, indicating that your Newton is now configured
for a calibration ride (Cal Ride).
3.
Pick a quiet, low-traffic place to do a
solo
(no drafting allowed) Cal Ride. The
road can be flat or hilly; it makes no difference.
4.
Attach your Newton to its mount, then click any button to wake up the Newton.
Speed is shown in the top window. You’ll see “----W” and “do Cal” alternate in
the center window, indicating that your Newton is set for a Cal Ride.
