14. THE DATA RECORDING FUNCTION & TRANSFER OF DATA TO THE PC
Your VDO computer is designed for recording data and transferring data
to your PC. The recorded and transferred data can be analyzed on the
PC. With the „PC-Sport“ software you can keep a training journal, track
developments over certain periods, and specifically plan a program
for getting in shape. All necessary elements for this application are
included in the scope of delivery of your computer:
1. Docking station with USB cable for transferring data to the PC
2. CD-ROM with the PC-Sport training and analysis software
What happens when I record training units?
Your VDO computer generates a file/data record in its memory per trai-
ning unit (start/stop see below). The following data is captured in this
data record (after starting data recording) in a interval (10 / 20 sec.):
- All bike data (only under certain conditions in walk mode)
- All altitude data (only under certain conditions in walk mode)
- All pulse data (only under certain conditions in walk mode)
- Lap data if lap timer is used
- All cadence data (if the cadence kit is installe
Note:
If you are using the lap timers the lap data will have a flag. When trans-
ferring data from the computer to the PC the lap data are identified via
this flag and are displayed and analyzed separately in the PC-Sport
program.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
a. The storage capacity of the device is configured for a total of 100
training hours.
b. After this total time is exceeded the new data automatically over-
writes the oldest data in the memory.
c. A manual delete of training data is not possible.
d. Due to the recording interval of 10 or 20 sec. there may be slight
deviation between the data in your VDO computer and the data in the
PC-Sport program (e.g. average pulse)
TIPP: Connect your VDO computer to your PC at regular intervals so that
important data is not overwritten. Manual control/read out of the data
records of the DATA RECORDING and a data delete is not possible on
your VDO computer itself.
