Tips for the best results of speed measurement
•
The average speed of a run corresponds very well with the real average speed
as long as the measured slope is close to the average angle of the slope.
• Because of the calculation algorithm, Suunto S6 usually records the top speed on
the steepest part of the slope. If this part is clearly steeper than the measured
average slope angle, the recorded top speed is higher than the real top speed. If
you are more interested in measuring the correct top speed than the average
speed, use the angle of the steepest part of the slope.
• If you want to compare speeds with your friends, make sure that you all have the
same slope angle before the run.
3.6.2. Memory
You can use Memory to view the files saved in the memory of your Suunto S6 with
the SkiChrono and Chrono functions. You can also use it to erase files when you
wish to free some memory space. The memory can include up to 40 SkiChrono files
and 15 Chrono files. Each Chrono file can include 20 Split/lap times. SkiChrono files do
not have Split/lap times.
