SPECIAL FEATURE #6: "POWERSTROKE DATA RECORDING"

PowerStroke

is a optional feature. PowerStroke data 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.

PowerStroke is an optional upgrade key that can be purchased for any iBike Newton or

Newton+. The Newton PowerStroke+ 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 www.ibikesports.com.

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! Depending

on model, 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.

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.
