Page 7: Synchronization
Powertimer Analyzer is made with the Hotsync feature of Palm. Synchronization procedure is following: • All data is copied from Powertimer SW-300 to Powertimer Analyzer. • All data is removed from Powertimer SW-300. • Subjects and Groups you have selected for uploading are copied from Powertimer Analyzer to Powertimer SW-300. -

This chapter assumes that Test Groups and Subjects have been created with the Powertimer Analyzer software and that they have been transferred to the Powertimer SW-300. Also this as- sumes that each subject that is tested has a valid birth date, height and weight since tests cannot be started without those. -

Page 20: Training
5 TRAINING TRAINING Training mode is available in three tests: ST, Contact Times and Throwing Gate. In training mode the best test result made by the subject in the particular test is located and used as a base for the training, for example velocity of 8 m/s in ST. A percentage of the best result is chosen and a Target Result is calculated from the actual result and the percentage. - Page 21 value in the Percentage value box you’ll see that the Target Re- sult field changes accordingly. Before you start training the subject, make sure that the train- ing parameters are correct. Tap on the Parameters button to open the parameter editor shown in Figure 35.
