Temperature values

[thomask]

Hi John,

I am seeing that PP records temperature values as well for the overall ride when exported to Training Peaks, however, Isaac does not display temp values. Does the PP have a built-in thermometer as well?

Thanks.

Yes, PP has an internal thermometer. We export the temperature values but (in the user-available windows) Isaac does not show temperature graphs.

Thanks, John.

This is great because whatever internal sensors my computer lacks, the PP compensates for it....For instance, the Cateye Stealth Evo Plus does not come with barometer or thermometer. However it has an internal GPS chipset which the PP does not. So the beauty of this combination is that I can get all kinds of data from two different devices and merge them into one file!

It would be great if the internals of the PP could be described in a bit more detail...The PP seems to be a pretty sophisticated piece of instrument that has all kinds of sensors embedded within it. A white paper or something along those lines explaining how all of these internal components work together to produce the end result would not only be wonderful but also beneficial to riders that have an interest on the technical side of things as well...

Oh boy...it's a wonderful goal to describe all the things our sensors do, but it would take a long time to write such a document!
