You have now
issued your
device!
Before the VX Log™ is used it will need to be issued to both a User and a sport.
Setting the sport tells the GPS chip which mode it should be in to give the most accurate results. It is not possible to
change the selected sport after a session has been recorded because the GPS is only operating while the VX Log™ is
recording.
The GPS chip in VX Log™ monitors has multiple modes for calculating position and speed. Because of this it is essential
to set the VX Log™ to the correct sport before using it.
For constant slow speed activities, like jogging (where there are no sprints), the sport should be selected as “Walking”,
rather than “Running”.
Issuing a device using VX View™.
• Connect the VX Log™ monitor to your PC via the USB Cable provided.
• Start the VX View™ software (See Page 1 if you have not yet installed VX View™).
