SENSORS & PAIRING
Pairing is a term used to describe the association of your Joule GPS with a particular sensor that is broadcasting an
TM
ANT+
signal (e.g. a PowerTap hub, a Heart Rate strap, a remote cadence sensor, a remote speed sensor, etc.). Sensors can be shared between bikes (e.g. a heart rate strap). Each User can define multiple bikes. Each bike may have one or more sensors associated with it. Use unique names when creating additional bikes. For example: Jim’s Racing Bike, Jim’s MTB, My TT Bike, etc.
To add another bike:
· Select “Add a Bike,” enter a unique name and the weight of the bike.
· Associate the sensors with the bike. Make sure all the sensors are awake and broadcasting (briefly spin PowerTap wheel, wear HR strap).
· Select “Pair All” to pair all awake sensors in broadcast range (PowerTap hub, Heart Rate strap). Sensors can also be paired individually by selecting it within the Sensors menu.

INTERVALS continued
When using intervals, the Joule GPS can operate in one of two modes: Lap Mode or Interval Mode. These modes refer to the action taken when the [INTERVAL] button is pressed. The default is Lap Mode. The mode can be changed in the Record Control section of the Device menu (see chapter 8).
Lap Mode refers to the traditional way the interval button has operated on all computers from PowerTap: Pressing the [INTERVAL] button completes one interval (or Lap) and begins the next interval (Lap). Interval 0 (zero), or Lap 0, is the time recorded from the start of the ride to the first [INTERVAL] button press. The next button press completes Lap 1 and begins Lap 2. The next button press completes Lap 2 and begins Lap 3, and so on...
Interval Mode refers to tracking a rider’s intervals as opposed to laps. When the Joule GPS is set to record in Interval Mode, the first press of the [INTERVAL] button begins interval 1. The next press of the button ends interval one. The next press of the button begins interval 2. The next press of the button ends interval 2, and so on... The period between intervals is referred to as the “rest” period in the Joule title bar but the rest/recovery period is not listed on the Interval dashboard. Only intervals are listed on the Interval dashboard.

CHAPTER 4: SENSORS CALIBRATION, AUTO and MANUAL ZERO
There are many environmental factors that can affect the accuracy of a power meter. Temperature, humidity, and circuit resistance are part of the measurement, but none of them remains constant while riding. The continued accuracy of a power meter depends on its ability to take these changes into account. Auto-zero recalibrates the power meter over and over during a ride to keep the measurements from drifting. Use the Auto or Manual Zero options in the Power Sensor screen to calibrate your power meter, assuring you are getting the most accurate power data at all times.

Delete Sensor Manual Zero
Back to Bike
TIP: The accuracy of any power meter is dependent on many variables, especially temperature. Fluctuations in temperature
affect the internal strain gauges, which can alter the reported torque value. This is significant as power is calculated from torque. The PowerTap Auto Zero feature continually adjusts the calibration of your device, compensating, in real time, for environmental factors like temperature, assuring that you have the most accurate power data throughout your ride.
9:34A

Manual Zero Torque RAW <Value> Torque Offset <Value> Firmware Version 45
Back to Sensor
Auto Zero
Manual Zero
On or Off. Typically, always On. The Auto Zero function follows the same steps outlined for Manual Zero but does it continually during the ride, whenever the bike is coasting for 4 or more seconds. If your bike is a fixed-geared or track bicycle you may consider turning Auto Zero off.
Calibrating or “zeroing the torque” refers to the process of resetting the Torque Offset value of the physical torque tube (where the internal strain guages actually measure wheel torque).
1) Make sure the power meter is awake and communicating with the Joule GPS. Make sure the bike is still, with absolutely no pressure on the pedals or tension in the chain.
2) Select Manual Zero on Power Sensor screen. The Calbration screen will appear. Torque RAW should be 0. The last saved Torque Offset is displayed. The value is typically 500-524 in-lbs.
3) Select Manual Zero on Calibration Screen. The Torque Offset value will update with the torque tube calibration value, given the current environmental conditions.

The RU Roll Down calibration screen will flash the “Pedal to...” message until the wheel speed is in the specified range. Once in range, the clock will begin to count down. Continue pedaling, keeping the speed in range for the entire countdown. This will allow the tire temperature and pressure to stabilize. Once the timer reaches zero, stop pedaling and allow the wheel to spin down.
Select Manual calibration when another power meter is present on the bike and paired to the Joule GPS. Begin pedaling to see power values from both the RU and the power meter. Once the RU has been clamped against the tire, it is advisable to spend about 2 minutes pedaling to warm up the tire to stabilize the pressures . The vertical bar on the graphic will show the current calibration within the acceptable range. Use the [PLUS] and [MINUS] buttons to increase/decrease the value until the RU Watts and Power Watts are matching. While calibrating, pedal at a consistent power and be sure to give the RU time to adjust with each increase/decrease.
Reset to Default will reset all values to the factory default calibration.

CHAPTER 5: NAVIGATION NAVIGATION OVERVIEW
The Navigation section of the Joule GPS menu allows you to work with a variety of features including Routes, Waypoints, Compass calibration and the status of the GPS (Global Positioning System).
Routes allow you to follow a particular predefined path. Routes can be created from previous rides in PowerAgent
and uploaded to the Joule. Routes can also be created on one of the many mapping sites on the Internet, imported into PowerAgent and uploaded to the Joule.
Waypoints assist with remembering and navigating to a particular location. Waypoints can be created directly on
the Joule GPS and stored on the Joule or in the PowerTap PowerAgent software application (available on both Mac and PC).
GPS Status allows you to check on the GPS signal, activate/deactivate the GPS, check current location, estimated accuracy andthe current altitude.
Compass: The Joule GPS also has a magnetic compass, which operates whether the GPS signal is available or not.
See Appendix D for more detailed information on the GPS .

CHAPTER 5: NAVIGATION ROUTES OVERVIEW
Routes allow you to navigate an unfamiliar path. Routes can also be used for training. By following a previously ridden route, you can compare your current pace against the pace associated with the route.
Creating Routes: Routes can be created from various sources:
From previous rides on the Joule GPS.
From previous rides (activities) stored in the PowerTap PowerAgent software.
Via your favorite mapping website, exported, and uploaded to the Joule GPS.
Turn-by-turn Navigation: For those routes that contain turn-by-turn navigation data, the Joule GPS will display upcoming turn information in message notices that appear briefly over the dashboard as each turn approaches. Accurate turn-by-turn data is dependent on how the route was created and exported via the mapping site used.
Route Pacing: Routes created from a previous ride will have associated pacing data. As you follow a route with pacing data, a small icon the ride from which the route was created. Pacing data associated with a route can also be altered either by changing the average speed, or the total time to complete the route. The direction traveled on the route can also be reversed.

Transferring routes to the Joule GPS:
• Create a ride route using your favorite mapping site on the World Wide Web (e.g. ridewithgps.com, mapmyride.com, strava.com, etc.).
Save the route and export it from the mapping site as a GPX or TCX file (see TIP below).
Open PowerAgent and import the route file. Select “Show Routes” from the Window menu to verify that the newly
imported route is in the list.
With your Joule GPS “on” and plugged into the computer, from PowerAgent, select “Configure Device” from the
Tools menu.
From the configuration window, select the “Routes” tab.
• Select or Check the route(s) you want to transfer to the Joule GPS and click the “Save.”
More Turn-by-turn details: When the route selected contains associated Turn-by-turn directions, a Route Cue Sheet dashboard will appear in your list of dashboards. The Route dashboard will display the heading, the distance, and direction to the next route point (a turn or point of interest). The route is also displayed on the Map dashboard. When you are within about 200m (600 ft) to your next turn a popup message notice will appear indicating the direction to turn and counting down your progress to the upcoming turn.
For a route to have Turn-by-turn directions you must create it using a mapping website which has the capability to produce a route file containing turn-by-turn information. Not all mapping sites have this capability.
TIP: The Joule GPS only allows a route name to display 15-16 characters. Keep this in mind when naming imported routes. NOTE: ridewithgps.com is one of the few websites which exports Turn-by-turn directions in their route files, but only in the
TCX format and only if you create the route in ridewithgps.com. They do not provide turn-by-turn in their GPX format files.

More Pacing details:
As mentioned earlier, routes created from a previous ride will have associated “pacing data.” The Joule GPS will use this data—the average speed and total time taken to complete the ride route—to “set” the pace of the Ride Partner. You can choose to alter the associated pacing data using the the Route Attribute page (see pg. 25).
Once the route is activated and you reach the beginning of the selected route, the Ride Partner will begin moving at the specified pace. You can monitor your progress against the Ride Partner by checking the map dashboard (Ride Partner appearing as the icon) or checking the Pacing metric, configured on one of the metric dashboards (see Chapter 2).
When you have completed the route a notice will appear on the Joule GPS screen containing summary information highlighting the average speed and total time to complete the route for both you and the Ride Partner.

CHAPTER 5: NAVIGATION WAYPOINTS
For the purposes of the Joule GPS, waypoints are single specific locations on Earth. Your home, favorite trail head, or cafe can be a waypoint. The Joule GPS can create, delete, select, and store waypoints. Each waypoint you create is stored on the device. Each waypoint is listed by its name, a distance and direction (heading) from your current location. A waypoint labeled “Start” is always in the list and represents the starting point of your current ride. You can select a waypoint in your list to navigate to or create a waypoint representing your current location by selecting “New Waypoint.”

TIP: Your current location is listed as a latitude and longitude pair. The numbers making up the pair are in
degrees, minutes, and seconds. The letter associated with the number is a compass point, North, South, East, West. When viewing a map, latitude lines run horizontally; longitude lines run vertically, converging at each pole, widest at the equator.
Lines of Latitude are numbered from zero degrees to 90°, north and south. These numbers can be subdivided into minutes and seconds for greater granularity. 0° Latitude is the Equator, the imaginary line that divides the earth into north and south hemispheres.
Lines of Longitude, also numbered in degrees, subdivided in minutes and seconds. 0° Longitude is the Prime Meridian, established 1884, an imaginary line that runs through Greenwich, England. From the Prime Meridian, the lines of Longitude run 180° east and 180° west until they meet in the Pacific Ocean, making up the imaginary line known as the International Date Line.
Using the Latitude/Longitude numbered pair you can describe any location on Earth. In fact, the example in the menu above is the location of Saris Cycling Group, near Madison, Wisconsin.

DEVICE AVERAGING
The Device Display Averaging page allows you to adjust the way Power and Cadence data is presented during a ride. Select a specific amount of time to average the raw second-by-second data values for power and/or cadence, prior to display. The result is a smoother, steadier value displayed to the rider, over the duration of the ride. The raw data is still written to the ride file.
Another setting associated with Device Averaging is calculating and displaying averages with or without values of zero. For example, to view your average cadence while not including time spent coasting. Set “Cadence w/ Zeros” to “No.” This will result in not including values of zero when calculating average cadence prior to anytime it is displayed on the device. Again, the raw data written to the ride file will include zeros.

Displays the current altitude above sea level as calculated by the on-board barometric altimeter. This value is displayed in feet or meters, depending the device Units setting.
Optional. Enter your actual home altitude/elevation here (from a known benchmark or topographic map data). This value will be used to establish an offset for any variances in actual barometer readings, making the displayed elevation value more consistent regardless of weather conditions. If you live below sea level, negative values can be entered as well.
Yes or No. Selecting Yes will direct the device to use the entered value of your Home Altitude as an offset from which to calculate barometer differentials. Selecting No will direct the device to disguard your Home Altitude offset use the default Sea level pressure of 1013.3mb as the base for all altitude calculations.
NOTE
: The barometer in your Joule GPS is very sensitive to barometric pressure. If weather patterns are changing, resulting in a rising or falling barometer, the current elevation value will also change. The less stable the weather the less stable the elevation value. However, even if the weather is not clear and windless, it is the pressure differentials that are used to calculate elevation gains and losses, not the actual elevation change. The resulting calculation, during the relatively short time frame of any particular ride, is accurate.

CHAPTER 11: IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS and NOTES
• Keep eyes on the road. Do not become overly engaged with display.
• We recommend getting familiar with the computer functions while stationary.
!
• The computer and chest strap are water resistant, not waterproof. Avoid sustained water
IMPORTANT
contact and do not deliberately place in water or under high-pressure sprays.
• Avoid spraying the unit directly with solvent. Do not use thinner or other solvents to clean parts.
• Failure to adhere to these precautions may cause premature failure or incorrect operation of the unit and may void the warranty.
Other Important Notes:
• Battery Life: The Joule GPS has a rechargeable battery that will last a significant amount of time when fully charged. However, some features of the Joule will use more power then others:
- Displaying the Navigation dashboard for extended periods of time can impact battery life. A lot of processing power is required to keep the live map display up to date.
- Setting the backlight to “always on” will impact battery life, although the Joule is still very efficient in terms of power usage when the backlight is in use.
- Setting the backlight time out to a long period of time (something more then 30 seconds) will impact battery life, depending on how often buttons are pushed, causing the backlight to go on.
- Setting the Smart Backlight option could impact battery life if a significant amount of time is spent using the device at night.
• GPS signal lock time can vary depending on environmental conditions. See Appendix D for more detailed information on GPS signal locking.

MI/KM
The ride length from start to finish measured in miles or kilometers.
KJ
Kilojoule (1000 Joules). A Joule is unit of work equal to the work done by a force of 1 newton to move an object a distance of 1 meter. Kilojoules are a common unit used to express the total volume of work accomplished during a given workout, ride, or exercise bout. Kilojoules are used to express the total training load. One Joule per second equals 1 watt. The average power output in watts multiplied by the time in seconds divided by 1000 equals the total amount of work, during the specified time frame, in kilojoules.
TEMP C/F
The current temperature measured by the Joule’s internal sensor.
AV WATTS
1. Average power during a ride. 2. A common unit used to express effort or intensity amongst cyclists.

KJ
Kilojoule (1000 Joules). A Joule is unit of work equal to the work done by a force of 1 newton to move an object a distance of 1 meter. Kilojoules are a common unit used to express the total volume of work accomplished during a given workout, ride, or exercise bout. Kilojoules are used to express the total training load. One Joule per second equals 1 watt. The average power output in watts multiplied by the time in seconds divided by 1000 equals the total amount of work, during the specified time frame, in kilojoules.
KJ/HR
Average Kilojoules per hour during a ride.
TSS
Training Stress Score estimating the total amount of glycogen burned on a ride.
IF
Ratio of the normalized power to threshold power. Joule uses the mid-point between the threshold zone (zone 3) and the race pace zone (zone 4) as the threshold power value.
Peak Power
The highest average power output that can be held for a given duration. 2. For most individuals a peak sustainable power or peak power output lasting 4 to 8 minutes is equivalent to an intensity that elicits their VO2 max, or maximal capacity to consume oxygen.
3. For most individuals a peak sustainable power output lasting 20 to 40 minutes is equivalent to an intensity that elicits their lactate threshold or a value of blood lactate 2 to 3 mm above their baseline blood lactate. 4. For most individuals a peak sustainable power output lasting 40 minutes to 2 hours is equivalent to an intensity that elicits their lactate threshold, or a value of blood lactate just above to 1 mm above their baseline blood lactate. 5. In cycling, the peak sustainable power for any given duration is analogous to their best performance for a given time. For example, a runner might have a personal best of 5 minutes in a mile run and 35 minutes in a 10 KM run, whereas a cyclist might have a personal best or peak sustainable power of 300 watts for 5 minutes and 240 watts for 35 minutes.

Common reference points for this continuum include the power at lactate threshold and power at VO2 max.
Recovery Zone (Zone 1)
1. An easy exercise intensity where there is minimal stress or strain on the body. 2. On a 1 to 10 rating of perceived exertion scale, the recovery zone corresponds to a 1 to 2 or “really easy” to “easy”. 3. On a 6 to 20 rating of perceived exertion scale, the recovery zone corresponds to a 6 to 10 or “very very light” to “very light.” 4. An exercise intensity dependent solely on aerobic metabolism of primarily fat. 5. An exercise intensity that can be held for an indefinite time frame.
Endurance Zone (Zone 2)
1. A moderate exercise intensity where there is some stress or strain on the body 2. On a 1 to 10 RPE scale, an intensity corresponding to 3 to 4 or “moderate” to “sort of hard”. 3. On a 6 to 20 RPE scale, an intensity corresponding to a 10 to 13 or “fairly light” to “somewhat hard.” 4. An exercise intensity depending on the aerobic metabolism of both fat and carbohydrate. 5. An exercise intensity that can be held as long as the athlete were supplied with an influx of carbohydrate (i.e., allowed to eat).
Lactate Threshold (LT) Zone (Zone 3)
1. A hard intensity zone marked by a sudden increase in breathing rate. 2. On a 1 to 10 RPE scale, an intensity corresponding to a 5 to 7 or “hard” to “really hard.” 3. On a 6 to 20 RPE scale, an intensity corresponding to a 13 to 16 or “somewhat hard” to “very hard”.
4. A range of exercise intensity beginning at a slight inflection or rise in the blood lactate over a resting baseline to an intensity corresponding with a blood lactate 2 to 3 mm above a resting baseline. 5. A demarcation between aerobic metabolism to a mix of anaerobic and aerobic metabolism. 6. An all out exercise intensity that can be held between 40 minutes to 2 hours depending on the availability of stored carbohydrate or glycogen within the body.

Climbing and Surges Report
M/FT GAIN
The total vertical distance in feet or meters traveled or climbed over a given distance ridden.
AV% GRADE
The rise or vertical increase in elevation divided by the run or horizontal distance traveled multiplied by 100 (rise ÷ run x 100).
M/FT LOST
The total vertical distance in feet or meters descended over a given distance ridden.
VAM
1. The rate of vertical ascent in meters per hour. Note: At an 8% grade, a rate of ascent of 1800 meters per hour requires a power output of 6.3 watts per kg and is considered the upper limit for climbing speed in professional cyclists. To compare that with age group racers and recreational riders, their VAM on the same grade would be around 1064 and 560 m/hr, respectively.
Surges
A surge is a sudden, short acceleration lasting a minimum of 3 seconds within a particular “power to weight” or w/kg zone. The value displayed is the number of surges occuring within a w/kg zone. Once a surge is recorded in a w/kg zone, the rider’s current w/kg power value must drop at least 0.1 w/kg below the minimum of the zone before a new surge can be considered. For this metric to be calculated correctly, the rider’s weight must be accurate, as listed in the User section of the Main Menu on the Joule GPS.

Appendix D: GPS OVERVIEW
Understanding GPS Signal Acquisition and Signal Strength
Overview:
The Global Positioning System, GPS, originally developed for military purposes, was deployed over the span of years beginning in the 1980s, completing deployment in 1995. Today the GPS system is primarily used for civilian applications. Within the next 5 to 6 years there will be 3 fully independent Global Navigational Satellite Systems in service - the United States will continue to provide and improve GPS, the European Union will complete deployment of their system, GALILEO and Russia will complete deployment of their system GLONASS.
The GPS is a constellation of 32 fully operational satellites orbiting the earth in 6 different orbital planes, with 5 to 6 satellites per orbit. At any one time 24 of the satellites are considered “in service.” The others are available in case one of the 24 needs to come offline for maintenance issues. The satellites circle the earth at an attitude of 20,180 kilometers (about 12 miles). Each orbit takes about 12 hours, but due to the earth’s rotation, each satellite returns to it’s starting point above earth in just under 24 hours. The 6 orbital planes, including the number and spacing of satellites in each plane are designed to ensure that there are a minimum of 4 satellites in view of any location on earth at any time. Typically there are more than 4. The more satellites a receiver locks onto, the more accurate the position data. Receivers positioned in higher latitudes will typically “see” less satellites. The master control station for the entire GPS network is located in Colorado. There are 5 additional monitoring stations around the world.
GPS Signal Strength:
GPS signal strength can be affected by many conditions. These include weather, the environment, receiver movement, and the orbital position of the satellites. This is especially noticeable at the point in time when the receiver is attempting to get a full GPS lock (typically means the reciever is locked onto a minimum of 4 satellites for accurate location data).
When considering the weather, the signal strength is affected by the density of any clouds. Heavy rain or snow
clouds can be a negative when it comes to GPS signal locking. This type of atmosphere tends to slow the locking process. The best conditions are cloudless sunny days or partial high, thin cloud cover.
Environmental considerations include whether the receiver is in a mountainous or flat area, urban or rural area,
under a tree canopy, or some combination of the above. Mountainous topography can include deep valleys or

Understanding GPS, continued
canyons. It can be hard to receive a satellite signal when not much sky is visible. Similarly, in urban areas, tall buildings, sometimes referred to as urban canyons, can cut down on the amount of viewable sky. Also, in rural areas, where the receiver may be under tree-lined roads or trails, the density of the tree canopy could have an effect on the GPS signal. The best environmental conditions for a GPS signal would be flatter terrain, rural areas, with lots of open sky, and light to nonexistent tree cover.
The global satellite network itself can also affect the GPS signal. As mentioned earlier, the GPS network consists
of 24 satellites in 6 different orbits around the earth. There are brief times during the day where a “coverage hole” may temporarily exist, over a particular geographical area, due to the location of each satellite in its orbit, at that particular point in time. In this case, the user of the receiver may need to wait a few minutes for satellite movement to “close the coverage hole” in that geographical area.
Receiver movement can have an affect on the initial GPS signal lock. Typically, it is better to keep the receiver
unit stationary while the unit is trying to complete the lock of the GPS signal. If movement is necessary during the locking process, the process may take more time to complete. This occurs because, as part of the locking process, distances to each satellite are being calculated. Any significant movement would cause the distance to change and thus a recalculation.
The GPS signal is a radio frequency (RF) signal. Anything that affects RF can have an impact on GPS signal
reception. Indoors, this can mean the thickness of the walls around the reciever, the roof over the reciever, or the type of material the roof or walls are constructed from. Outdoors, this can mean paying attention to events that can affect electro-magnetic radiation (EMR), like solar flares from the Sun. Solar activity, like the weather, is tracked and predicted, by various organizations. On days when a major solar flare produces a huge EMR blast toward the earth, your GPS signal will be affected.
Technical Details, Cell Phones: As mentioned above, the GPS network was designed prior to the 1980s. The transmission rate from satellite to a receiver on the ground is only 50 bits per second. In perfect weather conditions, once a communication is established with the first satellite, it takes a minimum of 30 seconds to receive the initial information, a 1500 bit message block.

Appendix D: GPS OVERVIEW
Understanding GPS, continued
A receiver will need to lock on a minimum of 4 satellites to get an initial good position location. In order to find other satellites the receiver will reference a copy of a data file, containing position data of all other satellites in the system. This file is commonly referred to as the almanac file. Each satellite is in constant communication with the other satellites in the system. Each satellite continually gathers up-to-date position data of the other satellites. This information becomes the bulk of the almanac file. Receivers typically keep their copy of the almanac file updated without notice to the user.
However, receiver almanac files can become out of date by moving great distances between powering up the device or not powering it up for a long time. If this is the case, downloading a completely new copy of the almanac will take approximately 12.5 minutes under good sky conditions (the almanac file is approximately 25 message blocks in size, downloading at 50 bits/sec). Once the first satellite is locked, the almanac file is determined to either already be up-to-date or a new one is downloaded, the receiver begins to look for and lock other satellites. The complete lock process is accelerated at this point because finding additional satellites is much quicker once the receiver knows where to look for them via position info from the now up-to-date almanac data.
Cell phones acquire a GPS lock faster then other receivers. Most of the newer phones use what is called A-GPS,or Assisted GPS technology. This is in essence a hybrid communication technology that allows the receiving cell phone to acquire a GPS signal lock quickly using assistance from other technologies. Assisting technologies include cell tower triangulation, the high speed data transmission link between the phone and the tower, and the fact that the tower, in a fixed position, is always locked onto and monitoring the GPS satellite constellation, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Leveraging these technologies, the cell phone can acquire a GPS signal lock quickly compared with other receivers communicating directly with the satellites at 50 bits per second.
