Useful Information for Starting a Workout - Automations:

There are 2 ways of starting a training:

1. Enabling automations - When enabling automations (Settings → Automations → Automatic start set → Enable), the encoder will count reps everytime the string moves up and down.

Pros: Saving time during workouts. 

Cons: Sometimes, it can count ghost reps when the encoder is moved from one position to another.

 

2. Disabling automations - Pressing Start / Stop when doing workouts.

Pros: No ghost or unnecessary reps when you move the encoder from one place to another.

Cons: Forgetting to press "Start" will result in a lost set.
