Software Request: temp compensation
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:27 pm
Can I put in a request for a software feature? I would like to see some way the software corrects for temperature changes throughout a ride. When I start out, I do a wind cal and get a 'near zero' reading (like tonight: ride start was about 49F). At the end of the ride, however, the temp has dropped down to 37F. Midway through the ride, I suspected the temp had dropped and thrown off the wind cal so I stopped and checked it: sure enough, the wind now read -7 to -8, so I did another wind cal to zero it out. When I got back to the car, the temp had dropped again (and I could again tell by my power numbers reading too low for the perceived effort). The reading back at the car was about -7 (again). Thus through the course of the ride, it dropped about 15 'units' (whatever units there are).
Can't this be corrected in software, 'after the fact'? I would be fine with doing a 're-cal' periodically if needed so the software has temp-cal pairs to work from, as needed-but I would like an accurate record of my data for logging purposes, if not real-time, at least 'after the fact' for my training log.
Is this possible?
Even better would be to program in some kind of temperature compensation within the iPro unit itself (assuming it's not already in there-I may be wrong and it's just not quite 'correct')...
Thanks,
Sean
