Ergdata records wrong workout!

Post by chicagoal » November 15th, 2020, 1:13 pm

Hi all. PM5, latest update, Ergdata on my iPhone, Logbook on my computer. It's been working fine up to now.

Yesterday something odd happened. My wife has started using the erg, and in the afternoon she proudly told me that she'd rowed 2600 meters. She does 'just row,' doesn't have Ergdata, doesn't care about logging meters. Later on I got on the erg, started Ergdata, did a fast (for me) 2K, then an easy 1200m in 'just row' to cool down.

When I synced Ergdata with my computer, it had her workout recorded, but neither of mine. I wondered if I'd mis-remembered, but checking the PM5 this morning, nope, there they were.

I was able to copy my two workouts to the USB stick, then to my online logbook, and delete 'her' workout. So no big problem.

But I don't understand how this even happened! Did Ergdata and the erg spontaneously connect while she was rowing? (If so remarkable bluetooth range!) Did the PM5 send Ergdata her workout while I was on the erg? And if so, why?

I'm going to assume some bug, and it may never happen again, but I'd be interested if anyone else has noticed this.

Send an email to info@concept2.com with details of your logbook ID, your Ergdata version, your PM5 firmware version and, if you have it, a sequence of commands to recreate the error.

Yep, did that right after posting. It may be completely anomalous, never happen again to me or anyone!
