MODE functions for POWER (Watt)
When the 2nd line is set to power (Watt), TRP means the trip consumption, MAX the maximum power
and AVS the average power. The trip consumption is calculated on the basis of the elapsed time and
the power output. This is indicated in kilocalories or kilojoules.
MODE functions for HEART RATE
When the 2nd line is set to heart rate, MAX means the maximum heart rate and AVS the average
heart rate.
If the Flow computer does not receive a heart rate signal before the training begins, the heart rate function is not
shown. As soon as a heart rate signal is received during the training, this function will become available. When the
heart rate signal is interrupted during cycling, three dashes will appear in place of the heart rate value.
Average indicator
This function indicates whether the training information shown on the 1st line is average, above
average or below average.
