What is the Calibration factor?
The calibration factor results from the calibration of the Notio so that the pitot tube measures the wind as accurately as possible.
The calibration factor is used in the calculation of the CdA and the wind.
The way the wind comes into contact with each cyclist is different and varies depending on the cyclist (height, weight) and the position of the Notio on the bike (position on the bar/handlebar, height from the wheel).
Once the calibration factor has been found, there is no need to change it unless the Notio or cockpit configuration changes (i.e. stack, angle, etc.).

To have a more accurate CdA, the Notio device needs to be calibrated as a power meter would. But it is more tedious because we need to perform a calibration ride which is composed of an out segment and a back segment both with the same length. The ...

Do I need to calibrate the Notio before each use?
It is not necessary to calibrate the Notio before each test session. Once the initial calibration is performed and your new calibration factor replaces the default value of 1.39 in the app, there is no need to recalibrate the unit. However, for each ...

CdA (Drag Area) is one of the main and most useful graphs to analyze your ride to see how aero you were at different moments. The CdA is a result of the frontal area (size - A) and how "slippy" you are (drag coefficient - Cd). The displayed is ...
