**This is a sum of 2 or more exercises; maximum duration of a single exercise is 99 h 59 min 59 s. The maximum recording time can be shorter, if you record a large number of short exercises.

The durations in the table are estimates. For RR data, maximum recording time depends on heart rate and variation of heart rate. If you record laps in your exercise, and/or if you have created an exercise that includes phases with the software, the maximum recording time will decrease.

Recording doesn't automatically stop when the memory becomes full. Therefore, exercise time may be longer than recording time.

RR Data Function

Select Settings > Features > RR data > On / Off

The RR data recording function measures and records heartbeat variations within one millisecond resolution. This enables the analysis (accuracy 1ms) of heart rate variability (HRV) using the software. The

RRdata function consumes the memory of the training computer, therefore when setting the function, the remaining recording time is shown on the lower row of the display.
