Data File Management
Joule 3.0 saves three types of files into memory, activities, workouts and history. Activities files
contain second by second ride data for analysis by PC or Mac on software such as CycleOps
PowerAgent. History files contain summary data only and are used by Joule 3.0 for calculating
averages, maximums and totals for Reports. Workout files are created in PowerAgent and sent to
Joule 3.0.
Whenever ride time is accumulated, an activities file is created and saved automatically. A history
file is generated anytime a ride is stopped and saved. Note: because history files are used by
Reports for calculating averages, maximums and totals it is important to manage them carefully,
only saving rides that you want to contribute to these calculations. Because Joule 3.0 acts as a
mass storage device, activities and history files may also be viewed from a PC or Mac when con-
nected via USB cable.
