Suunto Vector - How Many Logbooks Can You Record?; What Is the Duration Period?

45
When all the memory places are filled, the logbook starts recording new logs on top of the oldest
recordings. This is what is meant when we say the logbook is self-erasing.
You can clear the history of the logbook; i.e. where you get the cumulative ascent and descent information
based on the logs recorded into the logbook.
How many logbooks can you record?
The number of logs you can record into the logbook depends on the chosen interval and the length of
each log. For example, if your interval is 1 minute, you can get a total of 3,800 minutes of logs into the
logbook. This equals 2.64 days if the recording is continuous (24 hours = 1,440 minutes; 3,800/1,440=2.64).
To avoid excessive battery drain, the recording is not continuous. The recording functions have certain
timeouts (i.e. the recording will be turned off automatically after a certain time). The timeouts are
shorter for the faster interval and longer for the slower interval.
What is the duration readout?
The duration readout tells you how many hours and/or minutes the event recorded into the logbook
lasted. For example, if youre hiking from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and the logbook is on during this time, the
readout would show a duration of 05:00 hours.
What is the maximum capacity of total vertical ascent or descent feet/meters in
the logbook history?
The maximum figure that can be shown on the display is 29,999.999 representing feet or meters depending
on the unit of measurement set. This should be enough for most users: 29,999.999 meters is roughly
three-quarters around the globe.
If hiking from a level of 5,000 ft down hill to 3,000 ft and then back up to 8,000
feet, how is the Vector going to read this or average it out?
There are several answers to this question related to different situations.
First, if you mean will Wristop Computer show accurate altitude information when ascending back to
8,000 ft after having descended to 3,000 ft from 5,000 ft, the answer is yes if the barometric pressure
hasnt been affected by weather changes. Since the altitude is shown based on the atmospheric pressure
