3.5.2. Logbook
The logbook allows you to save information regarding, for example, a hiking trip. When
you start the logbook, it starts gathering information about the cumulative ascents and
descents, average ascent and descent rates, highest and lowest points, heart rate and
specific marks you can set during the trip. Logbook information is updated in 10-second
intervals. When you stop the logbook, the information gathered thus far is saved as
a logbook file that can be viewed later. The maximum duration of one logbook is 168
hours (one week). After this, the logbook stops automatically. Suunto X6
hr can store
20 logbook files at one time. More logbooks can be saved on your PC with the help of
the PC Interface. For more information, refer to chapter 4.1
.
NOTE: To record a complete graph of the activity, use the stopwatch in the Chrono
mode.
