Viewing the Stopwatch Displa ys
The information that appears in the watch’ s upper and lower displays depends on
whether you are measuring lap times or split times.
Lap Time Measurement
Upper Display: Lap time
Lower Displa y: Elapsed time
Split Time Measurement
Upper Display: Lap time
Lower Displa y: Elapsed time (Split time appears here f or eight seconds as it is stored
in memory .)
• See “T o measure elapsed time with lap times” (page E-15) and “T o measure elapsed
time with split times” (page E-17 ) f or more information about each type of measurement.
E-14
• Y ou can perf orm elapsed time measurement starting from either the lap time screen
or the split time screen (pages E-15 and E-17). Whenev er you enter the Stopw atch
