Confusion over ErgData.app vs Concept2 Utility

Post by Speed3 » October 19th, 2019, 3:03 pm

Been using the Concept2 Rower and its PM5 monitor at the gym for about 3 years, but only recently began to explore the Erg.Data.app and the Concept2 Utility.

Have updated the two PM5s at the gym to the latest firmware (gym owners didn't even know what firmware was), have a 1GB USB flash drive which I am now inserting into the PM5 and saving my data from each row.

I also found the ErgData.app for my iPhone.

After my row sessions, on my computer I insert the USB flash drive, launch Concept2 Utility, and choose both to upload my results to the Online Logbook and to transfer them to a spreadsheet. I then go to https://log.concept2.com/log to view the results.

On my iPhone, in ErgData.app, I go to the page on the app that has Sync to the upper left and LogBook in the center and select Sync.

My question is where is the ErgData syncing to? Is it also going to the https://log.concept2.com/log or do I go somewhere else to view that data?

Many thanks!

If you have given ErgData the account information to your C2 logbook, the data will end up in the same place as those sessions you have uploaded with the Concept2 Utility.

The ErgData uploads are more detailed and contain data per stroke. The uploads from the Concept2 Utility only contain data per split.
