APPENDIX 1: “POWERSTROKE DATA RECORDING”
PowerStroke
TM
is an optional feature that provides cyclists the ability to understand their
dynamic motion on the bike, helping to minimize the amount of watts/time/motion wasted
because of pedal stroke style.
The PowerStroke upgrade key can be purchased for any iBike Newton or Newton. The
Newton Powe comes with PowerStroke feature pre-installed.
The PowerStroke key enables very high data recording rates in the Newton—16 data
records per second, vs. 1 data record per second without PowerStroke.
PowerStroke data is analyzed in ISAAC software to provide Wasted Motion, Wasted Time,
and Wasted Power measurements. See the ISAAC Software Instructions for more details.
Enabling PowerStroke Feature
You must purchase and install the PowerStroke upgrade key, available from the iBike Store
at
http://store.ibikesports.com/newton-upgrades-and-accessories/performance-feature-
upgrades/ibike-newton-powerstroke-upgrade-key
Recording PowerStroke Ride Files
Once the PowerStroke key is installed, your Newton settings will be changed so that
PowerStroke recording (Fast Recording) is normally ON.
NOTICE
: THE FAST RECORDING USED BY POWERSTROKE CONSUMES A LOT OF MEMORY!
YOU’LL GET ABOUT 26 HOURS OF RIDE TIME WITH POWERSTROKE.
TIP
: WHEN USING POWERSTROKE, DOWNLOAD YOUR RIDE FILE AFTER EACH RIDE, AND
THEN ERASE YOUR RIDE MEMORY BEFORE STARTING YOUR NEXT POWERSTROKE RIDE.
USE ISAAC OR SETUP TO ERASE YOUR RIDE MEMORY.
When PowerStroke recording is enabled, each time your Newton awakens from sleep, a
message will be shown on your screen, reminding you that Fast Recording is being used:
When you see the screen above, you will have two options:
1)
Click any button to accept. Your ride will be recorded in PowerStroke mode
2)
Press-hold the center button. The word “On” will start to flash. Click the up arrow,
and the word will change to flashing “Off”. Click the center button to accept.
PowerStroke recording will be turned off.
TIP:
YOU CAN TURN ON POWERSTROKE RECORDING AT ANY TIME. ENTER SETUP, THEN
USE UP ARROW TO SELECT THE “FAST REC” SCREEN. CLICK THE CENTER BUTTON, THEN
SELECT “On” WITH THE UP ARROW. CLICK THE CENTER BUTTON TO ACCEPT.
