Pedal-Based Power Updating the Vector Software Using the Edge Device Vector measures pedal-based power. Vector measures the force you apply a few hundred times every second. Vector also measures your cadence or rotational pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force, the rotation of the crank arm, and time, Vector can determine power (watts). Because Vector independently measures left and right leg power, it reports your left-right power balance.
Your FTP appears as a value measured in watts per kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the color gauge. Using Electronic Shifters Before you can use compatible electronic shifters, such as Shimano Di2™ shifters, you must pair them with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 13). You can customize the optional data fields (Customizing the Data Screens, page 17). The Edge 830 device displays current adjustment values when the sensor is in adjustment mode.
