- Page 17 1.0 VDO DIGITAL SYTEM Your VDO cycle computer operates on digitally coded, wireless transmission. Different from C1DS C2DS analogue radio transmission, data is digitally transmitted (data packages step-by-step). With C3DS your actual speed varying, the reading will change stepwise. Individual coding of the signals C4DS ensures that only data coming from your transmitter is processed.
- Page 18 ages are sent after, once the interference is over. Following data is immediately updated when the re-send data is received : trip distance riding time average speed maximum speed odometer Hence, your current data may change erratically after a interference = Update of your computer.
