Using a USB stick to transfer data to laptop

Post by flamenco » December 20th, 2017, 11:15 am

Is there a way of using a USB stick to record data (yes, I know there is because I do it) and then take it home to see on a laptop/PC?

I plug my stick into the laptop but I can't open any files or view any data.The online help says to also plug in the PM5 into the laptop - I can't do it because the PM5 is back at the gym.

I can't find an answer in the forum. Anyone know?

Hi

Have you installed the Concept2 Utility? It allows you to view the logged data and optionally synchronise with your online logbook without having the PM5 around.

With the C2 Utility you can make an export to a csv-datafile. This file can be opened with lots of programs including databases or MS Excel. Here you can read how it works:

Sounds complicated but it's easy.

Have a great day!
