Loading Heart Rate or Load Cell Data

Explains how to combine data from two or more files for analysis, e.g. when using two different devices to record boat performance (GPS) data and heart rate, or load cell data.

Step 1

Navigate to https://app.dev.sailnjord.com/data

Step 2

Select the boat you want to load data to

Step 5

Select two files:

The boat log data file (here: "Sailmon Log File.csv") recorded from the boat's instruments (e.g. Vakaros, Sailmon, Velocitek tracker, or others) containing GPS data etc.
An extra data file (here: "Polar HR.TCX") containing heart rate data (from a smartwatch), or load cell data (from a Cyclops sensor), or similar, which will be joined with the GPS base data

With the same technique you can also add more than one extra data file, each will be joined with the boat log data - i.e. any metrics contained in the extra data file that are not in the boat log data file will be taken from the extra data file. For example, if both the boat log file and the extra data file contains GPS data, GPS data will be used from the boat log data file, not the extra data file.
