The Charts

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

At the bottom are two advanced Charts that track your Pace and Heartrate at every stroke, with pre-settable Target Zones that make it easy to stay within your Pace and Heartrate targets as you row. Clicking the button below each chart changes the units that are displayed on that chart.

The main features of Charts are:

Pace

This is the default and most people will use it. The Pace is in minutes and seconds per 500 meters. It can be confusing at first because as you go faster your Pace number goes down, because you will row 500 meters in less time. However it is the default on the Concept2 PM and the Concept2 Online Ranking. The Pace chart trace goes up when you go faster.

Watts

This is often used by coaches as it provides a scale that increases as you row harder.

Calories

This is typically used by people working on weight control, so they can see how many calories they're burning with all that rowing effort!

DPS

This means Distance per Stroke in meters, sometimes used by coaches because Pace = Stroke Rate x Distance Per Stroke, which means you must increase one or the other of these to go faster.

Heartrate

By default this shows heartrate as measured by a heartrate chest belt and pickup connected to your PM. If you have a chest belt and a watch, you can tell RowPro this in the Control Center / User Settings page, and then the heartrate chart will show in large font the upper and lower heartrate limits you set for each row. If you have no heartrate equipment, you can set it to give you text information about how hard to row.
