Datafield: Heart Rate Zones Chart

Hello all,

this is the suport-thread for the datafield "Heart Rate Zones Chart".

Here you can find the Datafield:
https://apps.garmin.com/de-DE/apps/4...0-c69f911780d6

Feel free to write if you have questions or suggestions (english or german).
Please consider that it was created for my personal use. But with the user configuration via GCM or GE I can share it for everyone who is interested in.

--------------
Overview
--------------
This datafield provides a graph showing the percentage of time spend in the defined HR-zones.
The bars grow depending on the time you spend in the HR-zone during the activity.
It is designed for use in every screen-layout and field size, keeping the default textsize and style, but showing more information about heart rate in a single field.
User configuration is supported for definition of user-depending HR-zones and options.

Version info is included and updated in this post because of limitation of app description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------
History - English
------------------------

Version 1.4.1
- updated SDK-version for support of new devices (e.g. Edge 1030)

Version 1.4.0
- updated SDK-version for support of new devices (e.g. fenix 5)
- optimized recognition of timer stated (started/paused).

Version 1.3.2 - 28.06.2016
- corrected descriptions of app settings

Version 1.3.1 - 27.06.2016
- Initialize the datafield after starting an new activity (after anding a previous activity) on Edge devices

Version 1.3.0 - 23.06.2016
- The Datafield supports calculating HR-% based on HR.Max, HR-Rest or LTHR
HR-Max: HR-% is calculated for the range 0 to HR-Max (MR-Max is read from App-Settings/Zones or from user profile)
HR-Rest: HR% is calculated for the range HR-Rest to HR-Max (e.g. 50=0%...180=100% if you set 50 as HR-Rest in App settings)
LTHR: HR% is calculated for the range 0 to LTHR (0=0%, 160=100%, 180=112% if you set 160 as LTHR in App settings)

Version 1.2 - 18.05.2016
- The datafield supports now reading of HR zones from user profile.
If the device-API supports the access-funtions, the datafield uses the HR-zones. Nearly evera device with SDK-version 1.2.6 should be ready for this.
The app settings for HR zones are still present (for compatibility with devices which don't support reading uer profile yet).
With the settings parameter you can switch back to the app settings. So you can still define independent HR zones only for the datafield.
The Zones are read depending on the current sport type. If no zones are defined for the sport type, the default zones are used.

Version 1.1.5c - 16.05.2016
- added support for forerunner FR735XT

Version 1.1.5b - 02.05.2016
- re-added support for Edge 520 & 1000
The app settings should work now with latest Edge firmware

Version 1.1.5a - 01.04.2016
- temporarily stopped support for Edge 520 & 1000
Reason: The Edge-firmware has a bug in app setting handling. The settings are not stored to the device so changes will not take effect
The Edge will be supported if the firmware is updated.

Version 1.1.5 - 23.03.2016
- technical update
- code optimization to reduce memory consumption
- added some new devices

Version 1.1.4 - 15.02.2016
- optimization of text position (centered text)
- optimization of text position for datafield in corner position e.g. on fenix 3 (shifted to non-obscured side)
- changes of style (chart design, text) in ConnectMobile takes effect in running activity

Version 1.1.3 - 11.02.2016
- optimization of text position (more centered)
- optimization of chart drawing performance

Version 1.1.2 - 10.02.2016
- Time in Zones is now only counted if application is active and started

Version 1.1.0 - 10.02.2016
- New settings for chart design:
- thin lines with wide gap (default)
- thin lines with small gap
- bold lines
- solid color. The non-colored HR-value would be easier to read using solid chart color.
- New setting for text size.
- default: same textsize as Garmin-Fields
- dynamic: bigger textsize on bigger fieldsize (e.g. single field, 2 fields). Possible textsize depends on device system fonts.

Version 1.0.0 - 21.12.2015
- initial version


--------------------------
Historie - Deutsch
--------------------------
Version 1.4.1
- Aktualisierung der SDK-Version fpr Kompatibilität mit neuen Ger?ten (z.B. Edge 1030)

Version 1.4.0
- Aktualisierung der SDK-Version fpr Kompatibilität mit neuen Ger?ten (z.B. fenix 5)
- Optimierung der Status-Erkennung (gestartet/pausiert)

Version 1.3.2 - 28.06.2016
- Beschreibungen in den App-Einstellungen korrigiert

Version 1.3.1 - 27.06.2016
- Datenfeld initialisieren beim Start einer neuen Aktivität (nach Beenden einer vorherigen Aktivität) auf Edge-Geräten

Version 1.3.0 - 23.06.2016
- Das Datafield berechnet HR-% basierend auf HR.Max, HR-Rest oder LTHR
HR-Max: HR-% wird berechnet für den Bereich 0 bis HR-Max (HR-Max wird aus den Zonen-Definitionen des Benutzerprofil oder der App-Einstellungen gelesen)
HR-Rest: HR% wird berechnet für den Bereich HR-Rest (Ruhepuls) bis HR-Max (50=0%...180=100% wenn 50 als HR-Rest in den App-Einstellungen angegeben ist)
LTHR: HR% wird berechnet für den Bereich 0 bis LTHR (0=0%, 160=100%, 180=112% wenn 160 als LTHR in den App-Einstellungen angegeben ist)

Version 1.2 - 18.05.2016
- Das Datenfeld verwendet nun die HR-Zonen des Benutzer-Profils.
Wenn das verwendete Gerät den Zugriff auf die Benutzerprofil-Zonen unterstützt, werden diese standardmäßig verwendet.
Dabei werden die Zonen abhängig von der aktuellen Sportart gelesen. Sind zur Sportart keine Zonen definiert, dann werden die Standard-Zonen verwendet.
Die Zonen-Einstellungen in den App-Einstellungen sind noch vorhanden (zur Kompatibilität für Geräte, die das Lesen des Benutzerprofils noch nicht unterstützen).
Mit dem entsprechenden Parameter kann zur Verwendung der App-Einstellungen zurückgewechselt werden. So können z.B. abweichende Zonen speziell für das Datenfeld definiert werden.

Version 1.1.5c - 16.05.2016
- Support für Forerunner FR735XT

Version 1.1.5b - 02.05.2016
- Support for Edge 520 & 1000 wieder aktiviert
Die Epp-Einstellungen sollten mit der aktuellen Edge-Firmware wieder funktionieren

Version 1.1.5a - 01.04.2016
- Support für Edge 520 & 1000 wurde vorübergehend deaktiviert
Grund: Die Edge-Firmware verursacht Fehler beim Speichern der App-Einstellungen. Damit ist es nicht möglich, die Einstellungen des Dtaenfeldes anzupassen.
Die Edge-Unterstützung wird nach einer Firmwarekorrektur seitens Garmin wieder aktiviert.

Version 1.1.5 - 23.03.2016
- Technisches Update
- Code-Optimierung und Reduzierung des Speicherverbrauches
- Neue Geräte ergänzt

Version 1.1.4-15.02.2016
- Textposition angepasst (zentriert)
- Textposition aggepasst für Datenfeld-Position in einer Ecke (bei fenix 3). Der Text wird in Richtung Mitte verschoben.
- Änderungen am Layout in ConnectMobile werden auch in einer laufenden Aktivität übernommen.

Version 1.1.3-11.02.2016
- Text-Position angepasst
- Performanceverbesserungen

Version 1.1.2-10.02.2016

  • Hello mcinner,
    the new versions of both datafields are online. Please check if they are working on the edge 1030.

    Thanks and Bye.
    Ronny
  • Thanks a lot!
    (meanwhile I simply had copied prg and set files from Edge1000 to Edge1030 - worked!)
  • Hi Rony. First of all, thank to you for the app, fantastic job, congrats. I'm user since several weeks ago, and the app have been working perfectly in my edge 820.
    but today, when I started a new training session, I noted that the bars zones did not reset to zero, and start flat, but started with the previous activity.
    Do you know what can be the problem? I tried to reaet several times, or sincro with the config screen in garmin connect, but with no results.
    Thanks in advance!
  • i have a Vivoactive 3 music and I am having trouble learning how to install this heart rate zone chart. i saw this: Go to device settings, choose the activity, select a data page, select a field for changing, select the field type (ConnectIQ for datafields from app store), select this datafield. Then it's assigned to a data page and you will see it after starting the activity.
    but i cannot find a tab named device settings either in the watch or in the garmin dashboard. is there another app i need to get to see the device settings.
    anyway to give this Dumb American a step by Step walk through on how to use this app.
  • Hi!

    First of all, thanks for this amazing datafield, I think this is the best heart rate datafield on the Connect IQ Store.

    Looking for pictures of the Polar Vantage V, I saw that the heart rate datafield on top has a rounded design, and it looks amazing. I'd love to have that design on my Garmin. Any chance of developing a rounded design for your datafield when it is shown as a bottom or top datafield? It would be very nice.

    Thanks!

  • i love this data field and i use it in all of my activities.

    it would be great if average heart rate could be shown additionally as a second (small) number beside the heart rate. this would remove the need to add an additional data field for average heart rate and free up space for other data.
