Question on new iBike 3.05 Software NP/IF/TSS

Post by cjonbike »

I have downloaded and installed the new iBike 3.05 Software, I have looked for the NP/IF/TSS information. The NP is in the upper left hand window under the Cadence info but I cannot find the IF and the TSS information. Where would I look for these? I have a tendency to not see what is in front of me so it is probably obvious but I can not get to it.

I do Thank you for your help

Okay did some reading (Should have done it before I posted but) If I have not set my FTP before the ride then the IF and TSS will not show up in the software right?

If the above is not the reason I do not see IF and TSS please let me know what else I am doing wrong?

Again I thank you for your help

Assuming you don't have an iSport, you will turn TSS to ON in the RACR submenu.

Then while riding you hit the left button to get totals. Amongst others you'll See NP, then IF, then TSS.

If you have FW 3.0.5 installed it will show there also upon data download.

I do have an iAero Gen 3 with FW 4.0. Okay today I got in and enabled TSS and IF, I input my FTP, While I am riding I do get NP TSS IF in the Totals section. I download the ride into ibike 3.05 software and I still only can find NP. Is there a switch in the software I need to turn on? The NP is in the upper left hand window below the Cadence reading. Where is TSS and IF supposed to show. I am probably just missing them but I would appreciate help with this

Thank you for your time

Assuming the ride was long enough, then the NP, IF and TSS all appear on that same line in the latest software.

If you highlight a section of the ride then the totals for that section are displayed. However if you highlight a short section such as just the effort portion of an interval then only NP will show. I don't know where the cutoff is as far as how much time must be pass before you get all three variables.

Also look at the very bottom of the iB3 window. Below the graph portion there is a "status" line that updates constantly depending on what you've selected with the mouse.

I do thank you Fernando for your reply, the ride I did was 12 miles that should have been long enough. Will contact Aaron to see what I am doing wrong

Again Thank you

This may be a display issue in the software. I have the numbers you're missing but they're below HR.

See the attached picture where I have NP, IF and TSS for the short portion of the ride that's highlighted.

I am running a wired mount so I do not have heart Rate listed, so where your NP TSS IF is I just have the NP, maybe these do not display if you do not have HR, Maybe my next ride I will take the Garmin out with me and add the HR from it and see if it makes a difference.

Again Tahnk You

I have a similar issue.
Some of my previous (to f/w 4) rides show NP only and if I apply a previous profile to a new ride I get NP on its own.
If I go back to the actual ride profile, the NP/IF/TSS return.
I wonder if my issue is to do with the length of time taken between ride and download.
When the Ibike shut down (previously) then the NP/IF/TSS were lost, so I assume they are unavailable to the new software?

On an unrelated topic, Boyd tweaked my profile (prior to f/w 4)
I decided to do new cd's, came up with similar numbers to the profile I got prior to Boyd tweaking.
Now I have no power on down hills. I did a fit test and I believe its skewed because of this.
Whats the reason I would get zero watts downhll? My tilt and wind offset were supposedly good.

Thanks

I finally got TSS and IF to show up on last nights ride, I had been using my profile from pre FW 4.00 without doing a Cal ride, went out and did a cal ride(just to compare with the old) then did a ride and I now get NP TSS IF.
