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, heart rate and specific marks you can set during the trip. Logbook information is updated in 10-second intervals. When you stop the logbook, the information gathered thus far is saved 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. Suunto X6hr 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.
