Concept2 Forum

Hi,
After updating my PM5 firmware, I started using a new USB stick, and I notice it uploaded my recent rows to the online log. VERY COOL!

Now how do I get all the rows from the previous USB stick into the online log? I really, really, don't want to enter them all manually.

If I start using the old USB stick again temporarily (which did have some issues working reliably with the PM5) would the previous rows on that old stick get uploaded automatically?

If now, how do I get them uploaded?
thanks!

Try it. There's nobody on here who knows the ins and outs of how the USB stick support works.

Easiest way is to use the Windows C2 utility. When you install it and insert your old USB stick, you can select the sessions to be uploaded to your logbook.

tried C2 utility again just now after fresh reinstall on win10 machine, i7, 16gb ram. As always before when I tried to use it, as soon as I open the app on windows it goes into never, never land. Windows always reports it is unresponsive - this time I waited it our for about 15 minutes, then finally it shows "connected" to the USB stick. 15 minutes to see a usb drive? You gotta be shitting me.

Maybe it does something stupid like trying to inventory all the disks on the machine (I have terabytes).

Anyway it still won't upload any data. After getting id from concept2 site it now says there are no workouts, but I just plugged the USB stick back into the PM5 to check and it shows months of workouts logged.

I will de-install the utility again and won't reinstall. It is just too - shall we say (being kind here) - difficult to work with...

Likely you connected Ergdata to your PM5 and used Ergdata to do the firmware update. Ergdata connected to your PM5 is how the data is getting sent. The PM5 sends data to Ergdata. Ergdata automatically syncs it to your log.

Ergdata captures data in real time and only uploads data it captured. I don't think Ergdata will upload anything from PM5 memory or from a PM5 attached USB drive.

If you are using Ergdata to send data to your log you should remove the USB flash drive from your PM5. Concept2 support says "When the USB is being used simultaneously with Bluetooth, it can overload the PM5, and the Bluetooth can start having issues sending data. It's recommended not to connect the USB stick if using Bluetooth." Some people report success doing this, but you don't need the stick so why run in a config that C2 says will have problems. https://help.erg.zone/article/207-pm5-t ... %2C%202024
