Suunto X6m manual Logbook, Starting the logbook

Page 36

Asc: The cumulative ascent since the logbook was started. If the logbook is not running, the display shows text “asc 0”.

Differ: When you select the Differ function, it displays the difference in altitude and time since the last reset of the function. To reset and start a new measurement, press Start. Differ is always in the measuring mode, i.e. it measures the time and altitude difference constantly but displays them only when you select the function.

During the first 10 hours both hours and minutes are displayed. After that, during the next 89 hours, only hours are displayed and, finally, the display shows only a dash and letter ‘h’.

Time: Displays the current time.

3.5.2. Logbook

The logbook allows you to save information regarding, for example, a hiking trip. When you start the logbook, it starts gathering information about the cumulative ascents and descents, average ascent and descent rates, highest and lowest points and specific marks you can set during the trip. When you stop the logbook, the information gathered thus far is recorded as a logbook file that can be viewed later. The maximum duration of one logbook is 168 hours (one week). After this the logbook stops automatically. The Suunto X6/X6M can store 20 logbook files at one time. More logbooks can be saved on your PC with the help of the PC Interface. For more information, refer to chapter 4.1.

NOTE: To record a complete graph of the activity, use the stopwatch in the Chrono mode.

Starting the logbook
