General Features - SensLab Lactate Scout Assistant Quick Start Manual

1. GENERAL FEATURES

As a data manager for the Lactate Scout pocket device, the Lactate Scout
Assistant software offers many options for organizing readings, data import
and export as well as the graphic display of lactate curves and other values.
In addition, further relevant parameters as training conditions, effort level,
heart rate and much more can be entered and managed manually.
These features help beginners to get an overview in the essential parts of
lactate based training. But it's also a helpful tool for professionals, focussed
to a „pure" data collection: In contrary to some other software solutions,
the Lactate Scout Assistant doesn't interpret the transmitted data and is
intentionally limited to a few calculation models in its analysis method.
According to the various sports disciplines and scientific recommendations,
there are different commercial software solutions in the market, realizing a
wide range of more sophisticated options (as treadmill control, digital data
import from heart rate monitors, VO2 analysis, various lactate threshold
models etc.). SensLab and EKF diagnostic welcome these developments and
are engaged in technical support of 3rd party software for best customer
satisfaction: The Lactate Scout Assistant doesn't compete herein, but offers
a low budget access to PC based sports diagnostics for everyone. The actual
release 1.03 includes following features:
1. Import of readings (stored or „online") from the Lactate Scout pocket
device by PC cable or Bluetooth adaptor (optionally available, please note
product information. Without PC connection it's only possible to operate
with externally delivered files or sample files)
2. Chart summary of readings (single or step test measurements) including
time, date, memory ID, step length, lactate, heart rate, temperature
3. Graphic display of up to two step tests simultaneously, including approxi-
mation of lactate curves based on polynomic or spline calculation
4. Protocol print of up to two step tests simultaneously, including user data,
charts and analysis results
5. Analysis of the individual anaerobic lactate threshold (IANS), heart rate
relation and effort level at IANS
