Recording rate
The training computer can store your heart rate, running speed/pace, and cycling speed and distance in 1,
2, 5, 15 or 60 second intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter interval
allows you to record more heart and other data. This enables accurate data analysis in
polarpersonaltrainer.com.
A shorter recording rate consumes the memory of the training computer more rapidly. Default recording
rate is 5 seconds.
The following table shows the maximum recording times for each recording rate. Note that recording rate
might change when there is less than 30 minutes of recording time left.
