Operation of Grand Excel

Saving the Data

The Grand Excel computer’s memory stores all personal data and records the settings of

training programs. For each program, you can save a maximum of five trip or logging data. The

training information is always stored in SCORE. The data of a distance/slope resistance program

is stored in OPPONENT. Note, you must have an OPPONENT to ride a match. During the

match, you will see the distance in metres on the display of how much you are leading or

trailing. You can view these logging data afterwards on the display or by printing them out.

In addition, Grand Excel can store information up to 30 hours. During each training session

(if the data logger is switched on), there is a record per five or ten seconds of the actual speed,

cadence, pulse rate and power. Also, the date, time, the complete program and personal data

are saved during each trip.

Excel Analyser Software

This software provides a range of reporting functions. Trip data can be presented on a PC

screen. Your logging data will be clearly shown in the graphs and tables and, if desired, can be

printed out. The main benefit of exchanging training information between Grand Excel and a PC

is that you can analyse your training. This approach works according to the most advanced trai-

ning methods and encourages even more targeted training. Because Grand Excel has a two-way

data communication system, it is possible to receive and return a cycled program, for example,

via diskettes or e-mail. This makes it easy to enter several opponents in Grand Excel, against

whom you can ride.

You should not cycling on Grand Excel while it is still connected to a PC, since static electricity

could damage your PC and Excel computer.
