Re: 1 Hour Record?

Ahh but the laws of physics and common sense say different. As far as I know there has been no study to specifically document the fact that there is no advantage. It is extremely likely that athletes without good technical ability would be less likely to benefit especially over longer distances howe...

1 Hour Record?

http://tvnz.co.nz/othersports-news/rowe ... eo-4667333

What gives this record was set on a Dynamic Rower. No body mass movement etc. Did the NZ organisers really think this was a valid attempt?

Get the slides out guys lets start breaking some records.

Re: PMI with Delphi

You're right there C.

I hope I have sorted this one out on the UK site, at least to the level that I can, but I am available if you are still having difficulties David.

Re: PMI Questions

There isn't a built in function to save the data logger results to a text file. However due to the flexinility of the VB6.0 language this is an extremely easy task to achieve. You have 2 main choices. A. EXTREMELY EASY. Simply copy and paste the data to notepad or word from the textbox (or richtextb...

The Rowperfect erg allows for weight adjusted scores on the monitor plus it's more technical to use hence a lot fairer. Every weight adjusted score is an approximation so don't put too much faith in the fairness. A more technical event in terms of applying power with balance will actually favour li...

I have three WR rows and have won all of the major championships. I know who you are Rich. I was just referring to the bilge that seeps continuously from your keyboard. You set those records because of genetics and because there probably was no one else your age who could devote the same amount of ...

Note: There is a problem in the SDK when trying to determine the state of multiple PMs using CSAFE_GETSTATUS_CMD. In fact even the code for the SDK demo app doesn't use the CSAFE_GETSTATUS_CMD command to get the state of the PM. I can't remember the exact details but if required I will dig up the re...

The plots should look very similar. Are you sure it isn't merely a scale and resolution issue and that the plot shown on the PC is merely larger and at a much higher resolution?

Sorry for late reply. If you want to do this you have to account for the latency in the USB communications between the ergs and the PC. You have 2 options. 1. Use the asynchronous communication functions. I think these have had less testing done on them than their synchgronous counterparts so prepar...

Its just a thought but surely at this point someone needs to ask the question - Is ranger the best wind up merchant in town or just a colossal TW@T? There is no logic to 90% of what he says and I actually believe the former of the 2 possibilities to be the truth. His maths and science theories just ...

You can't do this directly but of course you can use the PC timer (A standard timer or QueryPerformanceCounter() or TimeGetTime() ). When the first single PC workout finishes fire up the timer and when the time is up fire the next configured workout using GoInUse. There are many different ways of im...

I think the logcard reading function has been removed from the latest release of the SDK documentation so I don't think there is a coding option for this. You do have 2 options. If you first copy all of the data to a LogCard you can then use the Logcard Utility. You can use the PMI ActiveX control w...

Re: Force Plot Curve

I have not been able to get the Force Plot Curve data, or HR data using 1A 03 6B/6C 01 21. What is the correct command? I have always used 1A, 03, 6B, 01, 20 and it works fine for me. What error are you getting? Have you got this to work correctly using the PM SDK Test APP? That is always a good pl...
