Stroke rate (SPM)

At the top of the black PM twin frame, a three-color SPM indicator shows how your current stroke rate compares with your target stroke rate range.

The SPM indicator is only active when you have set SPM targets. These targets are set automatically in RowPro Training Plan sessions, and can be set by you in Custom Rows you create using the Custom Row Studio, or in the Lanes utility when you click one of the lane numbers in Session Setup. See the Custom Row Studio Help Topic for more details about setting SPM targets for Custom Rows.

The SPM indicator has the following modes:

Inactive

When the SPM indicator is inactive, it is all green with a red slider in the center that does not move when you row.

Active

When the SPM indicator is active, it is a three-colored bar with a slider that moves to the left end of the bar with lower SPM and to the right end of the bar with higher SPM. The three colors mean the following:

Frame rate (fps)

At the bottom right of the black PM twin frame, the fps indicator shows the number of frames per second your PC is achieving on the 3D Display or the 2D Display.

The fps indicator shows "--" when you are not rowing, because RowPro only refreshes the 3D Display or the 2D Display while you are rowing.

For a detailed description of the fps indicator and the meaning of the fps number you see there, see the Troubleshooting graphics performance Help Topic.

PM connection

On the bottom frame of the PM twin, the PM connection status indicator shows whether your Concept2 Performance Monitor(s) are connected and communicating with RowPro.
