Polar CS200

Hey is it possible to download data of your training session eg HR compared to speed and cadence to your PC from the CS200 or is this not possible with this product.

If not does anyone know if it is possible with either the S210 or S410.

Thanks

I just bought a cs200 and the manual says you can download the data via a microphone to your computer, it sounds a bit awkward to me but I haven't tested it, since I didn't even mount the computer to my bike yet.

It's easy. You have to download a bit of software (Polar Weblink) to your PC. Then you just follow the instructions. Note that you don't actually download to your PC, you upload to a website, which has all sorts of comparitive features so you can build up a training diary online. The website itself is a bit slow unless you've got a fast connection, and for some reason I can't get it to display lap information, but otherwise it works fine.

It sounds like what you are looking for is comparing actual data points in a .HRM file.

If that is the question, then no. The cs200 will only download to the Polar Webservice. You download kind of a summary file, with averages and totals. A actualy heart rate/speed/cad curve can not be displayed.

The first model that uses data points for cycling is the S520. It downloads using soniclink(sound) and stores about 120 data points. The models above that for cycling are teh S720/S625x/S725x..ect. They download using IR and store samples every 5-15 or 60 seconds and store unlimited files up to 520 hours. the IR download is worth it if you really want to compare exercises.
