New issue 473 by ble...@gmail.com: HR sensor being able to record R-R or at
minimum time interval possible
http://code.google.com/p/mytracks/issues/detail?id=473

After doing some test walks and exporting to CSV or tcx i see that HR
sensor data is not being recorded at minimum possible time.

Both polar and zephyr record R-R intervals, as possible a lot of you know,
you can use R-R recordings to analyze a lot of data in your training (just
see plugins in Zonefive software Sporttracks, WKO+ software, or even more
complete Firstbeat softwares), you can analyze epoc, very exact calorie
consumption, training effect, and even overtraining.

So i think that simply the app could dump these values in the exporting,
RunGPS for example dump the values to a file so you can analyze it.

The problem here is that if i record GPS with 2 or 5 seg interval and you
are running with HR to 150bpm, HOW could we integrate this HR data in the
TCX file for example? I guess we can see how real TCX data works. And mabye
some could possible send examples of real training TCX data.

i ask for this feature because i think that the app is already recording
this data and simply dumping to null a lot of REALLY USEFUL data.

I am sorry, i was a Delphi coder and a bit of C++ coder 10 years ago, but
looking Java source now makes my head spin around... maybe i could try to
install a eclipse and look if i can modify some stuff...

SORRY FOR MY BIG RANT AND MY POOR ENGLISH

I'm agree is very important this information for training¡¡¡

Can you post info that explains the calculations? (I've found vague
references, but nothing clear-cut)

There is no need to do any calculations here, what i think is important is
to record and dump all the info the chest-bands capture, after finishing
the workout, you export this info and do all the very very complicated
calculations in the desktop programs (firstbeat, sporttracks, etc)

example:
i am running at 150bpm, so my Zephyr is sending 150 bluetooth packets per
minute, that is 2.5 per second, but i am recording 1 GPS position every 5
seconds, so obviously we are losing here a lot of information about our
workout,

what i think is necessary: able to export to TCX or SDF with all this
information.

TCX allows track points with HR only. A program like SportTracks can handle
this well.
A limitation is though that trackpoints are recorded with second resolution
and HR is stored in bytes. Extended data can be stored though. It is
possible to store sub-second resolution in GPX too.
A format like .fit may work better.

Without looking at the code, this should not be impossible.
Second resolution (or 1/2.5 s) may not be sufficient for r-r analysis
though.
