Wattbike Expert Software Version 2.50.47 Released - Including training peaks WKO+
Posted by Chris Rowe on May 07, 2010
Over the last few months we have been working hard to develop the Wattbike Expert Software. Version 2.50.47 was released today with a number of exciting additions:
Training Peaks and WKO +
You can now upload your Wattbike training sessions to Training Peaks & WKO + directly from the Wattbike Expert database or when transferring files from the Wattbike Performance Computer.
In the database simply high the file you want to send right click and select ‘Send to Training Peaks’
If you are transferring a session from the Wattbike Performance Computer a dialog box will appear once the transfer has been completed with an option to ‘Send data to Training Peaks’
Other Changes
There are also a number of other small changes that have been requested – you spoke, we made the changes. The list is below:
In version 2.50.47 we have tidied up the database area reducing the commands to the most used 5 when right clicking on a database file with a fuller command 'Menu' at the bottom of the FIND PERSON RECORD (S)
Data transfer are now dated the day of the session rather than the date of download
The bug in editing personal data has been fixed so that changes can be done e.g. weight
Default screens now lose the Properties bar and Polar bar (Pult bar) so that in recording mode Polar/Analysis modules graph are full screen and default display parameters are Cadence [1/min], Heart rate [1/min] and Power per revolution [W].
Similarly when you open a file Polar etc is full screen. The Summary tab is the default in the Analyse bar - the Analyse tabs have been renamed Summary, and Pedal revolutions.
When you go into Pedal revolutions rather than all 39 parameters there are 11 default parameters:
Cadence
Velocity
Distance
Pace 1/km
HR
Power per revolution
Power/kg
LL%
RL%
LL angle
RL angle
All of them have calculated average value (except Distance of course) and can be tracked in the Summmary
There are three new parameters (increasing from 36 to 39)
Velocity average [Km/h]
Pace/Km
Pace/1km average
Finally changing to Time mode is made easier there is a short cut 'Change' button in the Analyse bar which switches from Time mode to Pedal revolution mode and back - if Time mode is selected a dialogue box appears automatically and the time interval required can be specified in mm:ss - The polar view is not seen in Time mode (as it is based on pedal revolutions) - this should avoid users thinking that something has gone wrong with the Polar view.
All functions can still be accessed from the Main menu and Tool bars.
The main icons have changed to just images to help with language translation.
