What Heart Rate Monitors & Power Meters are Supported by iSMARTtrain?

iSMARTtrain supports the following:

• Polar models: CS200, RS200, RS300x, FT80, XTrainer, Accurex, S410, S510, S520, S610, S625X, S710, S720i, S725, S725x & S810. The software supports both the 'i' and the original (non-'i') version of these models.
  
• SRM: PowerControl V
• Ergomo: Ergomo Pro
• PowerTap: Cervo
• Garmin: Forerunner 50, 60, 110, 205, 301, 310xt, 305 & 405/405cx, Edge 205, 305, 605 & 705

Can I use the original, white, Polar IR-USB Adaptor with my Macintosh?

No. iSMARTtrain does not currently support the Polar IR-USB Adaptor. The reason for this is that the device is not completely compliant with the USB1.1 specification. This has been confirmed for us by engineers working for Apple's USB development team.

Can I use the new, gold or silver, Polar IR-USB2 Adaptor with my Macintosh?

No. We don't currently support the Polar IR-USB2 adaptor. The device needs specific device drivers written to communicate with the Polar HRMs. We hope to support it in a future release.

My Intel Macintosh has a bulit-in IR Port - Can I use that?

No. The built-in IR port is a receiver only, and we need to be able to transmit to the Polar HRM to initiate the data transfer, and to send data to the device.

What Serial-USB Adaptors work with iSMARTtrain?

We recommend the Keyspan USA-19HS Serial-USB adaptor for use with iSMARTtrain, but any device which is supported by Mac OS X, and is physically compatible with the Polar Interface (i.e. has the right plug on it) should work.

Only 'Modem' and 'Bluetooth' show up in the 'Ports' popup menu?

You don't have the drivers for your USB-Serial adaptor loaded.

Does iSMARTtrain work with my 'XXXX' model HRM?

iSMARTtrain only supports the devices listed above.

Will you support my 'XXXX' model in a future release?

We will look at adding support for other devices as the development of iSMARTtrain progresses. Our primary aim for the moment is to support the Polar range of devices. If a manufacturer would like Yellow Field Technologies to support one of their devices in iSMARTtrain, please contact us. We require details of the unit's communication protocol, and, ideally, a sample unit on loan for testing.

I've got a suggestion/bug/feature request for iSMARTtrain
