Dickson Test

Result (Dickson-Index) is not shown in Garmin Connect

Hello,
thank you for submitting this app. After performing a Dickson test the resulting Dickson-index was shown on the watch. But after synchronizing the watch to Garmin Connect there is only heart rate data but no Connect-IQ "developer-data" in Garmin Connect. Values P0, P1, P2 and the Dickson Index are missing / are not shown.
I use a Vivoactive with the recent firmware 4.40 (connectiq 1.4.2). I synced using the recent Garmin Connect app on Android.
I downloaded the FIT-file to my computer and converted it to a more or less human readable CSV-file. In the CSV-file I find heart-rate data but obviously no Connect-IQ data.
Do I miss anything? Do I have to sync using Garmin Express?
regards

Bummer!

If you saw the data in the watch and the activity synced, that should be enough.

Can I get your fit file? Note, that you have to get the session data out of the fit file to find the results. As far as I remember there sre three different batch files in fit sdk depending on what you want to extract, record data (heart rate), lap data, and session data.

Did you check in gc app? Or have you checked in a browser?

I don't own a vivoactive but a 230. But that shouldn't make a difference

Hi Daniel,

thank you for the quick response. You'll find my FIT file in the attachment. I checked both in the GC app on my android phone and in the browser. In both cases there is no ConnectIQ data (Ruffier-Dickson index or the P0, P1 or P2 values). There is just heart-rate, time and calories data. I have to admit that I accidently started a new measurement after reviewing the data on the watch. But I stopped the new measurement within the 15 second period before beginning of the exercise - so I assume that the old data had not been overwritten.

You are right, there is no connectiq data. How strange. I haven't been able to reproduce it with my fr230. Ill try in the simulator, it seems to be related to the hw. You have a 1st generation vivoactive, AFAIK.

I will post later the resuy.

Does it happen every single time?

thank you for your effort. Yes, I could reproduce it another day.

it seems his is a known vivoactive bug....

i have asked garmin guys for a workaround. Lets see if i can figure out something

I see. Incidentally I use the moxy data field that is mentioned in the linked post. The "contributor data" (in this case the blood oxygenation measures tHb and SmO2) is recorded correctly to the FIT file when using the moxy data field in Garmin's native running app. I have never verified whether the moxy run app will record contributor data or not.
Thank you again for your effort and for providing this app!

v1.2

v1.2 try to workaround problem that vivoactive does not write session dat fields into fit fields

i am not sure that it will workaround the problem. i dont have a vivoactive where i can test. And I am not very optimistic, because the issue has been there for months. so probably somebody else would have come with this workaround by now. but it is worth trying.... Fingers crossed.

what I have tried, just for the vivoactive (i don't want to break other watches), is to call dataField.createField instead of session.createField.
This is the difference between using fit fields in an app and in a data field. It seems that the vivoactive is able to record session data in data fields, so my guess is that using the same procedure in an app might work.
in the simulator works fine. session data is written into the fit file.

If it works, i will document this in the vivoactive issue post,

waiting for the feedback from any tester :)

now it works on vivoactive

Great job! Version 1.2 of your app records the ConnectIQ contributor data on my vivoactive. Data can be shown in Garmin Connect (web and android app).
Thank you a lot for quickly finding this workaround!

you have been lucky; i realized v1.2 broke the session data synchronization for me. i was going to revert to previous version but you just posted your feedback :D
I have managed to fix my FR230. Hopefully vivoactive will still be working (and any other watch models out there...)
