DEVICE AVERAGING
The Device Display Averaging page allows you to adjust the way some data is presented during a ride. Averaging, or
sometimes referred to as “smoothing,” refers to taking the raw second-by-second values for power and/or cadence,
and averaging those values over a specified time frame prior to display. The result is a smoother or steadier value
displayed to the rider, over the duration of the ride. The raw data is still written to the ride file.
Another setting associated with Device Averaging is calculating and presenting averages with or without values of zero.
For example, many people like to view their average cadence while not including time spent coasting. Setting “Cadence
w/ Zeros” to No will result in calculating average cadence without zero values anytime it is displayed on the device.
Again, the raw data written to the ride file will include zeros.

Selecting 1,3,5,10 or 30 seconds sets the amount of time the raw second-by-second value will
be averaged prior to displaying. The greater the time selection, the steadier the value displayed,
the slower the response to a change in power or cadence. The default is 1 second, meaning
display the data without averaging.
Selecting Yes or No sets the Joule to calculate averages related to power or cadence with or
without zeros. The default is Yes, calculate averages with zeros.
