About

Designed for Backyard events to predict and help your participation -- * New Data Field for 2025, which is supported by a full version (hBackyard) www.hsoftware.info donate https://paypal.me/hsoftware The Data Field has been designed to help you manage completion of a Backyard event. The Data Field will track and predict your progress on each loop/yard, this will help manage your time and pace, with the completed number of loops/yards. The layout will adapt to fit the screen space, showing a combination of the data values. The following data values are provided: - Intelligent: Use the best field, based on your performance and lap time or position, where only a single one is displayed - Loop Count: Number of completed loops/yards - Loop Distance: The current distance covered within the loop/yard - Loop Time: The current time elapsed within the loop/yard - Remaining Distance: The remaining distance within the loop/yard - Remaining Time: The remaining time within the loop/yard - Predicted Time: The predicted or estimated time to complete the current loop/yard - Predicted Gap: The predicted or estimated gap at the end of the current loop/yard - Loop Pace: The current pace on the loop - excludes waiting time - Pacer: Set distance on which your progress is checked. After the first loop/yard, the difference is displayed; the first lap displays pace. When the Data Field starts, it will wait for the first lap to get started. The Data Field can be configured to: - Loop Distance: The length in metres of each loop/yard. The default is 6,706 metres or 4.167 miles, the standard for a Backyard. - Loop Time: The time in minutes of each loop/yard. The default is 60 minutes, the standard for a Backyard. - Calculation Mode: Average: is best for activities with a constant pace; Current: works well where your pace changes constantly; Recent: is designed for when your pace slows or increases over the distance. - Display Units: The units to display, as either Metric or Imperial. Default is your system units. - Display Mode: The primary data field to show, where limited to a single field. - FIT Recording: Pick if you would like to record the backyard data to the saved FIT file. - Vibrate Mode: Either off, or alert on completing a loop/yard and a reminder when the next loop/yard is to start.
