eZ430-Chronos Watch Data Logger
3.4 eZ430-Chronos Watch Data Logger
Besides the sports watch software, the eZ430-Chronos kit comes with an additional software project that
turns the watch into a data logger. Heart rate,⁽⁵⁾ temperature, and altitude can be logged in user definable
intervals of 1 to 255 seconds. 8kB of Flash memory is reserved for logging several hours up to days,
depending on the settings. The stored data can be transferred to a PC (in CSV format) and used for
further analysis. The data logger provides fewer features compared to the sports watch software as
memory is freed for data storage. Most importantly, no Set Functions are available (i.e., the watch cannot
be set or calibrated standalone); however, this can be done conveniently by using the eZ430-Chronos
Data Logger PC software. The software project for CCS can be found in C:\Program Files\Texas
Instruments\eZ430-Chronos\Software Projects\CCS\Data Logger and for IAR in C:\Program Files\Texas
Instruments\eZ430-Chronos\Software Projects\IAR\Data Logger.
Available features:
• Time, Date
• Temperature
• Altitude
• Heart rate
• Sync
• Wireless firmware update
• Data logger
• Battery monitoring
NOTE: No Set Functions are available in this software. All settings can be done using the eZ430-
Chronos Data Logger PC software.
User concept:
The user concept and the modes remain the same as in the sports watch software except for the Set
Functions (see Section 2.1).
