iSMARTtrain V2.0.1 Release - Triathlon Week

05-10-2005, 06:45 AM

We've just released an update to iSMARTtrain, our Macintosh OS X
application for downloading from Polar heart rate monitors and tracking
& analysing sports training.

The latest release contains many bug-fixes and several new features,
including a summary of the weekly training, showing distance, calories
burned and a summary of the HR zones.

The software allows multisport and single sport athletes to store
information about their training sessions, such as duration, distance
and speed, and view the data in either a graphical or tabular form.
Heart rate data can be displayed graphically, as tables or as a
distribution graph showing the time spent in each heart rate zone.

Any number of different sports can be quickly and easily tracked, using
either metric or imperial units for each sport. Commonly used routes
and sessions can be stored and quickly recalled. Total times, distances
and number of sessions can be viewed per week or month. Equipment usage
and miscellaneous data, such as weight, can also be tracked.

For more details and to download a trial version of the software, visit

Just wondering why a high-end Polar user (who gets Polar software for
free with the watch) would be interested in spending another $40 for
this software.

The chamber's watch,
A heart.

$40,
A quarter of an hour's work,
For me,
When I'm not writing poetry,
When writing medicine or advertising.

Because if you're a Mac user Polar don't want to know you.

Of course, the small print points out that this product doesn't work
with the USB interface, which makes it pretty pointless even if you are
a Mac user ...

Not really - you just need to use the Polar IR-Serial interface and a
Serial-USB adaptor. Admittedly, this costs more that just the Polar
IR-USB interface alone, but, according to the engineers at Apple, the
Polar USB interface has severe flaws in it that mean it can't be made
to work with a Mac.

Where are these serious flaws described exactly? Presumably they are
hardware flaws since there are linux drivers for the Polar IR
device.

Apple's reply was - "We've looked at this device previously and it is
seriously non-compliant with the USB Spec. Until it's firmware is
compliant with the Chapter 9 of the USB spec, it's pretty much hopeless
to get it working on the Mac."
