If you are connected to an RPM input you have several different ways of displaying the current RPM On any main screen or running spinner screen you may display the RPM as text e g 11200 or 11 2K You can of course customize the size and position of this text via GPStudio Also on any main or running screen you may display the RPM as a graphical tach bar on the LCD Again you can control the position and size of this tach bar with GPStudio In addition for the tach bar you can select the minimum and maximum RPM that will show For example when racing you may only be interested in the range of 8000 to 14000 RPM Inthe menus under Tachometer options you will see the two menu items that allow these values to be modified Tachometer options Tach style Tach brightness Tach RPM green Tach RPM yellow Tach RPM red Tach RPM white shift light Shift light style Tach display minimum RPM Tach display maximum RPM When you make a change to the minimum or maximum you will see a sample display Tach display minimum RPM 8K Tach LED lights You can also display tach information on the LEDs at the top of the GPX The RPMs that trigger these lights can be different from what is displayed on the tach bar graph The menu item Tach RPM green is the RPM at which the green LEDs turn on Below this RPM no 2009 XT Racing 49 GPX Pro Manual 1 9 2 1 9 3 LED lights will display Similarly the menu it

More Details Lap Counter operation The lap counter if used can count either up or down Initially before any laps have started it displays If set for counting up then at the beginning of the first lap it will display 1 and 1 will continue to be displayed during the hold time It will keep counting up no matter what the dl n setting for number of laps If set for counting down say the number of laps is 5 then it will display 5 during the first lap and its hold time and will decrease by one each lap When that number of laps is complete the ll l lap display will revert to Tracks The GPX automatically determines if you race at a new track that it has not yet encountered or if you are at a track that you have been to before It does this by monitoring the size and shape of the track s loop and either matching it to a track that is stored in its memory or else creating a new track Example You go to a new track for the first time and start racing Once you have completed a loop the GPX determines that you are at a new track It records your session and when it is done it will default the track name to something like NEW TRACK 1 and you may then change the name to the track s actual name Start Finish Line Each track layout in the GPX has a start finish line associated with it In actuality it is a start finish point The start finish line is that point
