Logbook updating

Post by Trevor Charsley » May 12th, 2021, 2:12 pm

Hi Friends,

I am trying to update my logbook automatically. I thought that I could take the data from PM5 via a USB and the upload it onto the logbook.

Is that correct? If not, please can someone explain the easiest way to update the logbook.

Many thanks in advance.

Trevor

You need the C2 utility and either a USB memory stick or a USB-A to USB-B printer cable.

Much easier if you have a smart phone/tablet is to install Ergdata and connect that to the PM5 with BTLE.

ERGdata program (downloadable from google play or kindle store) will upload automatically from either a Bluetooth connection or a usb cable (i've used both, cable is more reliable).

I love Android ErgData with the PM5 using Bluetooth.

Just slide your mobile phone into one of the plastic holders that fit on top of the PM5.

After the row I just go into it and add some comments like "RP5.7.3 PM5 V168 T 20C RH 46% 17.5spm HR 153 average." and then just hit the SYNC button and it uploads via Wi-Fi.

ErgData has the most information in the upload including your stroke count and drag factor which other sources do not include.
