Short description of the CyclingDataManager

CyclingDataManager is to be seized an application around data from cycling computer to, analyzes, works on and in differently formats to secure. With further cycling computer tools like bikeXperiencefrom this a powerful Toolkit for the administration of the cycle tours extensive statistics, capacity rating and training planning becomes.

It consists up to now the possibility routes of the CicloSport® cycling computer HAC4Pro, HAC4, CM414M and CM436M directly over the serial (COM) interface or routes from a HAC4Pro, HAC4, CM414M or CM436M of importing raw data file (dat).

The loaded routes can become saved in different formats. At the moment become the DAT -, CSV -, Tur, HTML (only in TourEdit  mode) and the CyclingDataManager own CDM format supported.

Into future versions also of the implementation from interfaces to cycling  computer of the polar series are thought. Also a native USB  supporting is to come, if the cycling computers support this (e.g. HAC5)..

During the first use of CyclingDataManager the user should define under File/Settings/Options... his personal data and his "tools".

From the following file formats / data bases tours can be imported at time:
With the selection of profile data (all except .dat) several files can be selected at one time. These are read in then in the "batch" mode.


File/Synchronize CicloSport® CC...

BY a serial port (e.g.. COM, /dev/term/ oder /dev/tty) tours can be read directly from CicloSport® HAC4Pro, HAC4, CM414M or CM436M computer
.

At problems with the serial communication the read buffer can saved after pushed of the cancel button. This could be helpfully for a probelm analysis.


File/Save tours...


Under this menu option the loaded tours can be exported. Either all loaded or only selected tours can become secured. This menu option can be called also over the right mouse button in the list of the tours.

In the list of the tours the possibility exists 
of editing he tour name, the equipment and the training area per tour. These new data are included then in the CDM and TUR format. Extend possibilities for the treatment exists over the TourEdit mode.

At the moment the DAT- (only for direct readed raw data), CSV-, TUR- and the CyclingDataManager own CDM format will supported.

As special feature when desired also the not used storage location in the cycling computer with secured becomes, so that if necessary after a crash of the cycling computer a part of the data to become secured to be able.

If the CyclingDataManager were called by application bikeXperience, additionally the selected tours can be handed over to bikeXperience directly.

Show Logpanel


Under this menu option the log window is indicated. Program outputs and errors can be dispatched thereby to the Author by Copy & paste (Ctrl-C).

Under this menu option the "Look and Feel" can be switched between the installed.


TourEdit mode

The TourEdit mode called by selection a tour line in the list of the tours by Enter button or by doubleclick with the mouse.
In principle it applies that all are blue deposit ducks of fields alterable.

The representation of the tour is arranged in four tabs:
A changed route can over the menu option "File - > Save tours..." become secured. The formats CSV, TUR, HTML and the CyclingDataManager are to own CDM format at the disposal.
With the HTML format is provided a complete tour documentation with statistics and elevator profile. This documentation can be linked to a tour entry bikeXperience application.

If a tour were changed, the changes can to the prominent program (CyclingDataManager or bikeXperinece) with the menu option "File - > Carry over tour to  xxx" become handed over.

Over the menu option "File - > Open file..." can a new profile file be opened. It is to be decided whether the loaded tour are replaced or the read profile file to be added is.

When adding the option can be selected "relatively" or "absolutely". During releativen adding the data records become simply adjacent without consideration of the date. When absolute adding the date and the time of the new route are considered.

Table change

In the table individual fields can be changed.

On the one hand it is to be defined possible the height for one point of way again. The application asks then, which adjacent points of way are to be adapted.  
On the other hand a mark can be set for each point of way and a description be added. Markings during the recording are indicated likewise with a default value.
Further it is to be adapted possible over the context menu the target altimeter. This makes sense only if the target altimeter of the tour admits as reference value is (e.g. if the starting point and end point of the tour is identical).

The optima in each column are deposited "golden". The pulse is dyed after the limit values, which are deposited in the TUR or CDM file for the Bike.

Statistics change

The threshold values and colors for the different statistics can be stopped over the menu option "File - > Settings -> Options..." and then "Limits...".

Diagrams

The elevator profile can separate in the representational forms (with/without pulse and/or pulse zone, with/without marks, comparison route) to be printed and as PNG picture exported.

With the print job it is important to adjust the printer to landscape format. When exporting the diagram to file this happens into the last export dictionary.
