Faster response times in friction circle?

I'm not sure if this is practical, but I notice the friction circle display seems to have a relatively sluggish response. In other acquisition systems I've seen more rapid displacement of the green dot.

Is there a low pass filter in effect, either in the intrinsic iphone hardware, or in Lap Timer software?

I realize better frequency response means potential noise (jiggling) but am wondering if this could be a better compromise, that would show effect of track bumps/dips and also better reflect quick turn-ins at corners, etc.

Sorry if I'm off-base regarding the existing response of the display or what I'm asking for doesn't make sense.

Also maybe no need to worry about this if exported data already has the best possible response..

Thank you,

Bill

Hi Bill,

LapTimer is currently optimized to run at low accelerator update rates - which saves energy. Next version will have this as an expert setting and allows values between 10 Hz and 100 Hz. Currently, LapTimer works at 10 Hz only. Next version will have a default of 30 Hz - which is probably the compromise you look for.
