The Display
Device is designed to be menu driven and
self-explanatory. Via the menu system it’s
also possible to adjust all the parameters,
to switch data recording on/off, to choose
the desired display during the work and to
transfer the recorded data to a PC for
further analysis in an easy and simple way
using the EXPERT software package.
When the device is connected to a PC, it is
possible to do the software adjustments, to
memorize and to follow the complete work on
the Kayak Ergo in the Real-time mode.
Using only 4 buttons (ENTER, ESCAPE, UP,
DOWN) it is possible to perform all the
Display Device functions. It makes working
with the device easy and simple.

Device Modes
Two modes for presentation of the
measured and calculated parameters are
available:
Text mode
In text mode, it is possible to follow five
parameters at the same time

Time, Stroke and Heart Rate are standard fields that are presented in all text modes. Main and Average field could be switched to different views pressing
UP and DOWN buttons.

Following
views are avaliable: Power [W],
Forces [N], Length [cm],
Energy [J], Speed [m/s], /500m
[MM:SS], Graph mode.
Graph mode
In graph mode, two parameters can be
followed at once.

In the upper
part of the display (Left & Right Average
Value) are numerical values of the measured
parameters (POWER, FORCE…) and this values
are refreshed after each stroke. Left &
Right Graph represents graphical
interpretation of the measured parametar.
Two bars at the middle of the display are
presentation of the last stroke, shown
separatlyto allow easy comparation of two
sides (left & right force, left & right
power etc.).

In graph mode,
five different views are avaliable. Four of
them are predefined (Forces, Lengths, Power
& HR, Power & Speed). The last one is Custom
mode. Switching through views can be done by
pressing ENTER button.
Memory capacity
Data recorded during a session is put in the
memory. It’s capacity depends on the
sampling rate (table below). The Memory
indicator in the Status bar shows the
fullness of this memory.

This data can
be transferred to PC for further analyse in
EXPERT software.
The Recall memory has 30 hours capacity.
Average values per minute of the following
parameters (Power, Force, Energy, Stroke
rate, Heart rate) are memorized in this
memory. |
