What pre-ride zeroing is required?
A simple pre-ride zero (“tare”) function is provided. Manual Zero – The CinQo samples torque at 60 Hz for 2 sec (120 measurements) and averages the result. The inverse of the result becomes the new zero offset. See your computer’s specific instruction manual for details on how to perform this. AutoZero – The CinQo samples at 60 Hz and averages the measurements over each crank revolution. When you pedal backwards, the average torque for the backward revolution is stored. The CinQo then sets the zero offset as the inverse of the last 8 reverse revolutions. So to completely reset the zero offset with AutoZero, you need to pedal backwards for at least 8 complete crank revolutions. We prefer the AutoZero method and use it during factory calibration. The primary benefit of Manual Zero is the returned data, which indicates changes in zero offset and can be used for stomp tests.
