  • Is there a way to show not the paused time but the time with zero velocity? In other words, I want to show the time the timer is counting but I am not cycling, moving... the time I spent on the bike but without moving and without pushing pause button.

    This might help:
    activate „Autopause“ (when stopped) on your device.
    Profile - Autofunctions - Autopause

    The timer will stop when speed is zero. Time over all still running (no need to press a button).
    In the end you will have 2 times: one only moving (timer time), one over all (elapsed time).

    Autopause without a speedsensor however works not reliable (if cycling).

    The difference of the 2 times is the total of time you have stopped/paused.
    (The value „current pausetime“ starts at 0 at every pause)

  • You are right! I didn't think about it. Works great!!

    Thanks!

  • Any advice for showing "total pause time" when paused?

    This value type is 0 only the first time so I can't keep hidding it using "hide at value=0"

    Thanks again!

  • That‘s not so easy…
    You can only use it as alternate datafield with speed.

    Set „total pause time“.
    Set over it a filled rectangle wich is hidden when speed is 0.
    (If there is speed then it covers total pause)
    Set over it „Speed“ - hidden when speed is 0.

    When you are moving, you will see Speed, when paused, you will see „total pause“.

    Should work…

  • Just to show you an example of my layout using alternate and hidden elements...

  • Thanks for the advice and the examples. They are very helpfull and give me new ideas :-)

    Now I have a hidden field with "current pause time" and "total pause time". That works OK!

    But just to let you know, I think there is a format error in "current pause time". This data field shows time correctly but when it is above 30 minutes i turns into something like that -> -1462:-48

    Sorry but I don't know how to paste an image :-(

  • Ok. I never had such a long „current pause“. I will check!

  • I checked it on my device - no problem for values above 30 min.

    Please check your time format string you are using for "current pause"!

    I use "$M:$S" for "current pause" which works ok up to 99 min : 59 sec  (~ 1,5 hours).

    For "elapsed time" I use "$h:$M:$C".

  • I am using "$h:$M:$C" but I checked again over 45 minutes and now is working well... I didn't change anything... I don't know...

    I'll keep testing it and I will keep you informed.

    Thanks!!

  • Hi.

    Is there any possibility to measure cadence and Calories expended with this data field on a Fenix 3? Thanks.
