ESCAPE ascent and descent rate

[Gilan]

what is the correct specs for the ascent and descent rate on the ESCAPE model???
The add narative says one thing and then the specs area says another.

The altimeter of the Escape 203 shows you your current altitude, vertical gain or loss from the start of a hike or climb, as well as your vertical ascent and descent rate in ft/h (m/h).

Ascent/descent rate in ft/min or m/min

The watches sample to 20seconds and ft/min and I want to know if the ESCAPE can do the same thing???

	Suunto Escape - Click for more info The altimeter of the Escape 203 shows you your current altitude, vertical gain or loss from the start of a hike or climb, as well as your vertical ascent and descent rate in ft/h (m/h). Up to 20 altitude points can be stored into the memory for later reviewing. The one-logbook memory stores total vertical ascent/descent for the log, as well as the maximum and minimum altitudes reached during the activity. The unit also stores the accumulated vertical ascent/descent over a longer period of time. The altitude range extends up to 29,500 ft (9 000 m). The resolution is adjustable by the user to either 3ft (1 m) or 10 ft (5 m).

It's my understanding that Vector series sampled barometric pressure every 15 seconds.
The E203, Observers and "6" series sample every 10 seconds.....


But if you see differently, you're welcome to call the tech support at 800-543-9124
