Would much rather be able to correct the situation rather than have to go
through the extra step of DL-ing the run(s) to the laptop to see it(them). >>
I have been using the palm all along to keep from having to strap my power
hungry PII laptop in the car. I have had it kill a battery on me once when I
left the PC running off of an invertor during my work heat, we had to push
start the car. I now have the PC running off of an emergency start battery
pack in the grid. After a run, pull the palm, drop it in the cradle, and look
at the run, the palm is back in the car ready for the next run in a few
seconds.
The palm has recorded every run without fail until I hit 99 runs stored. I
sure hope I can get those runs out, I am very curious where I screwed up my
second run. Using the palm is great, My only real complaints are the extra
battery needed. I tend to forget to turn it off, and it is dead in only 2
days. I left it on Sunday, and it was dead Tuesday when I noticed it. Running
off of my laptop, I didn't have to use the extra battery and it worked fine.
I plan to make up a lighter powered setup to try out with a voltage regulator
so I don't have to calibrate the cube every event.
I looked over a bunch of my runs from the Peru test day before the tour. I am
finally hitting 99% on the default settings, so I will be setting the
sustained time shorter to see where I stand. The only place I don't hit 99%
is smoothness, but my wife pegs that one all the time, but with only 92% on
the agressiveness. Hmm. Oh well, another week, more runs.
