Venue Race Split results not matching actual results

Post by rowingdan9 » February 28th, 2011, 8:01 am

Hi
I have been looking through some of my split files and noticed that quite a lot of them don't seem to match the finish time as recorded by the mointor/Veune Race.
usually data is about .1 of a second off...why is that?
for eg, someone that got a 6.30.8 on there mointor/Venue Race, within the Split data file was recorded as 6.30.9 (when you add up all the split times).

It's working as designed and simply a quirk of the conversion used from binary integers to decimal integers.

....so it is just a case of taking .1 way from the final result on the split files then....is the mointor result correct or the split file data?

Cheers

The monitor result is correct: any difference if you sum up the splits is due to things being rounded up/down.
