What are Channels in Device Agent and why should I care about them?

The channels refer to the following:

P - Power

H - Heart Rate

C - Cadence

S - Speed

A - Altitude

D - Distance

G - GPS

T - Time

There maybe times in which you may not be aware that a sensor has failed or that you're not getting all of the data expected until something is missing on your graph.  Verifying your channels in Device Agent before you save a file will allow you to be more aware of missing data streams and can rectify that situation sooner (ie. check the battery in your powermeter, heart rate strap, etc).

How and why to recalculate workout metrics

Why recalculate workout metrics?

Recalculating workout metrics comes in handy when you've uploaded a data file and: 

• don’t see any summary data or don’t see any time in zones? Thankfully, this is a rare occurrence, but we’ve created an easy way to fix it.
• you've updated your threshold and need to recalculate some workouts based on your new values.
• you overwrote some values in data field and want to reclauclate them back to the original data based on the data file

Here's how:

1) Open the workout in question.

2) Click the "File Uploaded" button (screenshot below)

3) Click on the file and select “Recalculate workout metrics”

NOTE: If you overwrote any part of your workout stats (most often users will overwrite TSS, but this can be any metric: speed, IF, distance, etc), then doing this will undo that change.
