C2 Utility

Post by Junebug » November 14th, 2011, 8:36 pm

I just updatd my Model C to a PM3. Did my first row with my logcard and tried to upload to the online log book and it is adding 10 minutes to what the logcard actually has for information on the row I did today. Doesnt make sense. When I upload to a spreadsheet it show 5x6 minute rows with 2 min rest for a totall of 30 minutes. why does the online log show 10 minutes and about 100 more meters than I actually rowed?

Thanks

When you row intervals the PM3 will record the metres you clock up during the rest periods.

When you log that the (somewhat odd) way the Logbook works is that it sums all rowing time plus the resting time, and sums all the metres from the reps and rests.

So 5 * 6' with 2' rest is a 40' session (could be 42' if you programmed it for the last rest).

If you just drop the handle at the end of each rep, you'll get approx 20m recorded just from the flywheel spinning down.

Here's an example: (This was an Intervals:Variable workout 4*200m with 1:00 rest)
Raw data from my logcard.

Code: Select all
