> A key factor in successful testing is keeping track of the suspension settings, track conditions, and comments.  ShockClock Software makes this easy.  When you make a download, Filename Builder helps you create a meaningful filename while it automatically enters this data into Settings and Notes.


> Settings

The “Settings” screen contains clicker and spring settings.  All of the settings input at the time of download are automatically placed into “Settings”.

 

 - Front or Rear

At the time of download you selected Front or Rear when making the filename.  This causes "_F_" or "_R_" to be part of the filename.  It also identifies the file “Source” as Front or Rear. 

 

 - If a mistake was made during downloading (e.g. Front should have been Rear), it can be changed with the Front or Rear slide switch.  Note: Changing the switch does not change the filename.  This is done manually.


> Notes

Track and rider info goes here. This is a good place to record rider comments.
