CHAPTER 3: DASHBOARDS
INTERVALS continued
When using intervals, the Joule can operate in one of two modes: Lap Mode or Interval Mode. These modes refer to the
action taken when the [INTERVAL] button is pressed. The default is Lap Mode. The mode can be changed in the Record
Control section of the Device menu (see chapter 8).
• Lap Mode refers to the traditional way the interval button has operated on all computers from PowerTap: Pressing
the [INTERVAL] button completes one interval (or Lap) and begins the next interval (Lap). Interval 0 (zero), or Lap 0,
is the time recorded from the start of the ride to the first [INTERVAL] button press. The next button press completes
Lap 1 and begins Lap 2. The next button press completes Lap 2 and begins Lap 3, and so on...
• Interval Mode refers to tracking a rider’s intervals as opposed to laps. When the Joule is set to record in Interval
Mode, the first press of the [INTERVAL] button begins interval 1. The next press of the button ends interval one. The
next press of the button begins interval 2. The next press of the button ends interval 2, and so on... The period
between intervals is referred to as the rest period in the Joule title bar but the rest/recovery period is not listed on
the Interval dashboard. Only intervals are listed on the Interval dashboard.
Below, the represents when the [INTERVAL] button is pushed.
