Data Field: AppBuilder

Yes the pattern remains the same. Nice, it works, thanks, let's see if I can show text. 

And another example with a similar format: that I use for backyard ultra style train races (start next loop on hte hour each hour):

setv(1,ifs(lapcount eq 1,lastlap(distance),lapcount lt 1, 5.5,lapcount gt 1, getv(1)));
if(lapcount mod 2 eq 0,(3600-laptime) +((getv(1)-lapdistance)/timeavg(speed,180)),(3600-lastlap(timer)+laptime))

First line is just to recalculate the loop distance to correct if it is not the same as the stated distance.  Second line displays either the estimated time left for the loop based on average pace that loop and, once the lap button is pushed at the end of the loop, time remaining to the start of the next loop and so on.

the "if(lapcount mod 2 eq 0,(..." if statement allows you to display anything you want based on odd and even.

Ok, rest in strength. If you always have one active and one rest following one another,  then you can use.

This is a simple one that I've used that show Act=1/Rest=0 (also save how much active time you had in relation to total time)

recordsummary(sum(getv(1) eq 1)/max(timer)); setv(1,(Lapcount+1) mod 2)

With an if statement you could check for 1 and show timer and else show something else. 

I don't really have that programmers mind set, so no idea how I would proceed on that. What variable would I be checking with the if function?

Something like 

'Pause'(if (recordsummary(sum(getv(1) eq 1)/max(timer)); setv(1,(Lapcount+1) mod 2) 1)

Try this one

If( (Lapcount+1) mod 2 eq 1, laptime, 'pause')

Show lapTime in active and text pause in rest (if you start active).

Have you tested CIQ datafield GymIntervalTimer. Give you different backgroud colours of your choice and nice recording to file where you see when active.

No I haven't tried that one, been looking for a few IQ fields that can do that and the remembered appbuilder.

GymIntervalTimer seems to bulky as  I don't see any option to turn all that additional stuff off that I don't need.

But that formula works well, thank you. But yea it would be fun if appbuilder would lets es play with text and background color too.

Just to give you an example if you would like to combine text with data:

If( (Lapcount+1) mod 2 eq 1, 'Active ' + laptime, 'REST ' + laptime)

Hi! Any ideas as to when this will be updated for the 840/540? I miss my combo 30s/5min power field for long climbs

I also added the corrected output of the lap number. As Garmins internal lap count data field is useless for this, as it starts with lap 0 instead of 1 and of course counts twice per "activity / pause" interval.

So it would look like "Active (1)" followed by "Pause (1) followed by "Active (2)...
Lap 0 and 1 = 1, lap 2 and 3 = 2 and so on.

If( (Lapcount+1) mod 2 eq 1, 'Active (' + format(((Lapcount+2)/2), '%.0f') + ')', 'Pause (' + format(((Lapcount+2)/2-0.5), '%.0f') + ')' )

Best datafield ever.
