New Polar Precision Performance software update
I found the following information on another forum, the PPP software has gotten a pretty big update, including some much needed function (can you say distance based exercise curves and 15! definable reports)
The latest software update for PPP3SW is now available from Polar Finland at: http://support.polar.fi/PKBSupport....5F?OpenDocument The most essential new features: Email support: Send exercises via email to your coach and keep exercises up-to-date on multiple computers. SonicLink: Transfer exercises from your Polar S410, S510 and S520 to the Polar Precision Performance software. Automatic Exercise Backup Make backups of all your exercises automatically every month. A tool for restoring exercises is also included. 10 new report templates: Create your own reports in full detail. Distance based exercise curves: View the exercises now based on distance, not only based on time. Adjust Odometer Edit the odometer value in S510, S520, S710, S710i and S720i. Japanese language version Select Japanese as you language in software, when using Windows XP. The update file also includes correction for some bugs that existed in the previous software version. |

More than 5 reports!!! Hoorayyy!!!
I also see that you can now specify heart rate zones based on heart rate reserve (Karvonen) calculations. A cool e-mail facility. This is really cool stuff Leon |

The 10 extra reports are indeed a very nice addition...
Now all i need to do is to find out what would be useful graphs to fill those 10 extra reports with ;-) |

I think I found a bug in the new software.
I don't seem to be able to add/edit lap lengths and as a result calculate pace/speed values This feature is not really required for cycling but for other sports such as running. Anybody else come across this problem ? Leon |

I have had a response from Polar on the disappearing lap length problem.
It would seem as if the watch thought I was cycling even though I was running. I am not sure if it is my setup or a true bug (will check) However there is a workaround which I have posted below. "There is a workaround to enable lap length field: The software can be "fooled" so that it "thinks" that the HR data is saved without cycling information or using the HR monitor that does not have the cycling options e.g. with Polar S610. Instruction: - Open the HR file in Windows Notepad. The most conveniet way to open it as .txt format is to open the Exercise tab at the Diary and press the Ctrl-key down and then click the info button in the lower right corner. - Change the monitor type at the 'Monitor' row in the [Params] section from 12 to 11: Monitor=12 -> Monitor=11 - Change all numbers at the 'Smode' row to zero: Smode=11100010 -> Smode=00000000 - Save the file and close the Notepad. - Open the file and edit the distance in the 'Lap Times' dialog. Note! After saving the file with new parameters speed, cadence and altitude data is set to zero. Backup the file before editing that you can recover the file if needed." Leon |

There's another update released just today, 4.00.022.
It's fixed a couple of graphing issues that I had with the original 4.0 update. (edit: here's the url for the patch: http://support.polar.fi/PKBSupport....5F?OpenDocument )
