UPLOAD & ANALYSIS HELP
Upload & analysis help
Upload your recording, review the settings and open a report of your row.
Prepare your recording
iPhone: open Home → Cloud Analysis. Choose Analyze latest for the most recent workout or Choose a workout to select a recording. You can also export the complete workout. Keep its oar recording, phone motion, GPS and saved oar settings together.
Android: select the WitMotion workout TXT and its alignment TXT when needed. Add the matching Sensor Logger ZIP for boat motion and GPS. Keep the original filenames and columns.
Upload and analyze
- Start new upload. Use this before selecting a different recording or rower. It clears the active files and current analysis; saved workouts remain in your history.
- Select the complete workout. Upload its ZIP or supported files from the same session. Confirm the rower and recording.
- Choose settings. Use the settings recorded with the session, a saved set or defaults. If a choice is shown, press Use these settings, then review the editable fields.
- Review the oar and boat setup. Confirm side, oar type, calibration and dimensions. For Android, also confirm the recording timezone and alignment source.
- Press Analyze workout. Open the report when processing finishes. You can change settings after upload; no extra approval checkbox is required.
Each new upload receives a new workout ID, including recordings for the same rower and day. Re-analyze reruns the selected existing workout and keeps its ID. Use it to change processing settings for that recording.
Oar setup and calibration
Mounting alignment puts both sensors into the same oar frame. Stiffness calibration converts oar bend into moment, work and power. Estimated handle force also needs the correct inboard length.
Current iPhone exports carry the oar’s dimensions and calibration, including manually entered values. Review them under Recorded oar settings. Two-oar recordings retain separate settings for each oar. Analysis changes do not overwrite the recorded setup.
For iPhone DAT recordings, the server uses the mounting alignment already applied by the app. Raw Android TXT recordings need a suitable uploaded alignment or a saved alignment for the same unchanged setup. A newly uploaded alignment normally takes priority.
Keep factor names and units together when entering calibration manually. See oar stiffness calibration for the app and server fields.
Review the result
Use Session Overview to see rate, power, pace and your chosen metrics across the row. The GPS map shows the route when position data is available. Piece Summary compares continuous efforts; All Strokes shows individual values.
In Boat & Oar, compare averaged curves or inspect individual strokes with the animation. Select metrics and curves under Oar, Boat, GPS, Time and Body. Core gives a shorter list; Advanced includes Core and is the default.
Phone motion adds boat outputs; GPS and heart rate appear when recorded. A value with missing input remains unavailable. Read the metric reference for definitions and required inputs.
Pieces and groups
Pieces are continuous rowing efforts. Automatic groups collect strokes with similar properties. To make your own comparison, zoom Session Overview and use the visible strokes to create a named group. The group controls sit below the curves.
Compare pieces or groups in the summaries, averaged curves and map. Use individual strokes to see how much the technique varies within the selection.
When to re-analyze
| Change | Where to make it |
|---|---|
| Displayed metrics, curves, scales, zoom, map and replay view | In the open report. Save the arrangement under Setups. |
| Display calibration factor | In the report where offered. This rescales supported load and effort values; it leaves the original detection and grouping in place. |
| Stroke or piece detection, original groups, alignment, boat processing or analytical geometry | Re-analyze on the server. Rerun power-based detection after changing its calibration. |
Keep your report and reuse your view
Download the report ZIP, extract it and open the HTML in a browser with JavaScript enabled. The report contains its plots and data; background maps need internet access. Keep the original workout files for future analysis.
Use Setups → Save new → Download setup to save your plot, map and animation preferences. Open another workout’s report and choose Setups → Import setup to reuse them. See the saved-view guide for what carries over.
Downloaded reports keep the data and controls with which they were generated. Re-analyze the original recording to use newer processing.
