AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

OK, I've looked all over the documents I've downloaded and I can't find many of the following data/reports explained anywhere. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place(s). Over on the left side, upper panel we have tabular data for:

Power - This is self explanatory and I can grasp it.
*Aero - I have no idea what this tells me.
*Rolling - I have no idea what this tells me.
*Gravity - I have no idea what this tells me.
Speed - OK, I can grasp this.
Wind - OK, I get this.
Elevation - I think I get this.
Slope - I get this.
Cadence - Pretty straightforward.

For these specifics (*), I'd like to find the instructions/explanations/documents for how to analyze and interpret these data.

Thanks all.

In theory the sum of the watts for aero, rolling resistance and gravity is the same as the watts for the ride.

Another way of saying the same thing is, You have X watts produced for a given ride or section of ride. Where does this wattage go? A portion goes to overcome aero drag, a portion to overcome rolling resistance and a portion to overcome gravity.

So climbing a hill nearly all of your wattage is used to overcome gravity and a small percentage is used to overcome rolling resistance. Hardly any goes to combat the effects of aerodynamics. So, you can sit up while going up a hill because it really doesn't matter how slippery you are to the wind.

On the other hand, riding at 20mph is an entirely different situation so aero numbers come into play and gravity barely comes into play.

And lastly going downhill, your gravity numbers will be negative as gravity is now helping you instead of hindering you.

Finally, take any section of a ride and highlight it. You'll see the results of that section in the statistics. Highlight a downhill and see the gravity take over, highlight an uphill and see the gravity fight you.

AHHhhh! (Light dawns on Marble-head...)

I get it! These three values are almost "sub-sets" of the total. Going to make a suggestion that this explanation be more explicit in the documentation.

Thanks a million.
