Troubleshooting

There's bound to be a few problems - that's why this is version 0.4!  For those of you that are having issues it would be helpful to receive the log file.

For Vista this is stored in the directory shown - adjusting for your user account.  For XP users it should be under your "Documents and Settings" folder rather than "Users"

Email a log file to support@t6analytics.com with a few details (won't install, error messages, a screenshot if possible etc) and I'll take a look over and see what I can do.

Thanks!

URL

That's what you get for doing things late at night.  The domain in the email had the .com missed off the end.  Sorry about that.

Already someone has said that not all the activity types are showing in their calendar so I'll try and figure that out.

Real-time

On a tangent from T6 Analytics is the subject of real-time monitoring.  I've obtained the software development kit (SDK) from Suunto and have got my first working piece of code to obtain real-time data from the PC POD - no mean task, I think, given my poor C/C++ skills.

It's possible that I'll incorporate the reading into T6 Analytics but most of the effort calculations are EPOC / TE calculations are still Suunto/Firstbeat proprietary so that's of limited use.  As far as I can tell you can only get HR and IBI data from the strap in real-time.

I have a couple of non-fitness related projects in mind but I'm open to other ideas/collaboration in this particular area.

So, give me a shout via a comment please.

Cheers,

Simon

Let's hear it 4 0.4

Hi everyone (yes, that's all 3 of you!).  I'm pleased to announce what I'm calling T6 Analytics 0.4  for release.

Until next week when the container carrying the server with my Hyper-V goodies arrives, I've limited resources to test this version on, but as the expression goes, "It works on my PC".  There are no guarantees that it will work on yours, but it has been tested on a couple of other machines successfully.

The installer should prompt you for any missing dependencies (.Net 3.5 for example) and in all cases, I'm interested if you run into install or application problems.

I'd suggest posting comments here with problems and it would be helpful if you left a email address in some form so that I can contact you directly.

So, check out http://www.t6analytics.com/ and fingers crossed!

Sabotage

My laptop screen packed up today. I'll call Dell tomorrow and they'll turn up on Friday.

I can't fault their after sales service but this D820 has been a little fragile compared to all the rest of the Dell kit I've owned recently.

Last minute bug

I found a bug this morning which I'll need to fix before release.  I normally run my T6 recording altitude rather than barometric data.

In the office at work yesterday it was pretty warm so I switched the watch to pressure to get a temperature reading.  I forgot to change it this morning when I went out for a run, tried to synchronize the data and ran into a problem with the import process (because there are no altitude readings).

Probably I'll opt just to catch this error but I may not have time to decode the alternative representation (assuming there is one).

On the plus side, the website (such as it is) is ready.

Setup

I've been testing the first setup package and this has uncovered a couple of problems with the Training Summary view that I'm trying to get to the bottom of (mostly to do with date handling which is odd because the other machine has the same setup as mine). On the plus side;

• It installs!
• All training data is successfully imported
• The calendar view works 100%

There will still be plenty of rough edges but the basic functions should all be working. Things that will need some more work;

• Printing
• Clipboard actions are a little hit & miss
• There's no saving of custom layouts yet

Hopefully I'll get enough time at the weekend to iron out the date issue and get the setup files built. Fingers crossed!
