Step by Step on setting up Ergathlon with Ergdata

[brownnugen]

Steps:
1) Connect machine 1 (SkiErg) to heart rate monitor
2) Connect machine 1 to ErgData
3) Select Workout, New Workout, Special, Ergathlon, Create Ergathlon, and then distance
4) Set up machine 2 (BikeErg) Select Workout, New Workout, Special, Ergathlon, and join Ergathlon
5) Set up machine 3 (RowErg) Select Workout, New Workout, Special, Ergathlon,and join Ergathlon
6) Press start Ergathlon on machine 1
7) At this point ErgData app won’t show any workout set up. Do not select “Just Row” option on ErgData (as that will undo the Ergathlon workout you had set up on machine 1) but just start skiing and ErgData will just start recording the session.
The session shows up as an Ergathlon on the logbook and all the data matches the memory on machine 1.

This can go in any order you want to do the ergathlon. In my case, I did ski, bike, and row.

I also connected all 3 machines via ethernet cables instead of the via Bluetooth.

I've done it with Bluetooth, but my understanding that this works properly only with newer PM5s -- with the green concept2 logo (not grey).

My rower is a 2016 model D, you can update the firmware to provide Erglathon. My firmware is v.37 and I have done several Erglathons.

Thanks for the excellent description. So only 4 time-setups are possible. It would be cool to use individual ergathlon setups, like 4 min for each erg with 10 rounds and much more. What do you think?
