power output in watts mulitplied by time in seconds divided by 1000.
Measured in watts where work is equal to force times distance.
The duration of the ride.
An estimate of the power that could have been maintained, had power
been perfectly constant.
The number of heart beats per minute (bpm).
The rate of motion.
Power divided by the rider’s weight in kilograms.

When average and maximum values are shown in the lower part of
the display, a bar graph is shown to graphically indicate the average,
maximum and current values. The bar graph can be turned off in
PowerAgent.
The current value is represented by the total length of the bar graph.
The average value is represented by a line in the bar graph. Note: Gap if
average if less than current, bar if average is greater than current.
