Anyway to stop PT from 'stopping' when I stop?

[swampy1970]

I'm curious to see if there's a way where I can get the PowerTap's cumulative ride time to continue when I've stopped - so it acts like a plain ol' stopwatch instead of keeping track of the actual riding time.

Also, is it possible to force the computer to stay on and not go into sleep mode after 4 minutes of inactivity?

I think you can set it to record whenever it is receiving a HR signal.

Thanks for the pointer Alex. Based upon that I found this:

Yes, it does it (keeps alive as long as it receives hr-signal). Much easier to control PT options though is to connect it to computer and use 'Configure device' option in PowerAgent (that's the only reason I have the whole software still installed, since using WKO).

Also, increase your auto-power off time, I'm not sure how long it goes or if you can disable it.

The 'auto start' options above usually intend that you are training and not stopping for coffee and pastries while it keeps on ticking.

Not sure about the coffee and pastries but I just kinda figured it'd be nice to chase the squirrels, go for a quick hike and climb some trees in my cycling shoes whilst on this 200mile ride through the mountains with 22,000ft of climbing over 8 passes...

... this is my 'mental recovery ride' from training so I get to change the function of the timer.

Does your FTP change with altitude the higher you get up the tree?

It falls about 0.05% by the time I get to the top of one of those big pine trees... I just want to climb a 300ft one on the top of Ebbetts pass just to say I was at 9,000ft.
