You can use the Hand-Grip Heart Rate Monitor, order code HGH-BTA, $119 or the Exercise Heart Rate Monitor, order code EHR-BTA, $93 with the Goniometer, order code GNM-BTA, $159 to report Heart Rate, Cadence and Range of Motion Amplitude simultaneously in Logger Pro.

Connect the Goniometer to Channel 1 of your Interface and the Heart Rate Monitor to Channel 2.

You will need to create a calculated column in Logger Pro to calculate ROM and Cadence. Go to the Data drop down menu and select New Calculated Column. Give this new column a proper name, short name and proper units.

For cycling we suggest Cadence for Name and rpm for units
For running we suggest Step Rate for name and spm for units

The function beatsPerMinute("Angle","Time",15,40,60,0.2,5) should work well.

Create another calculated column for Range of Motion Amplitude. Go to the Data drop down menu and select New Calculated Column. Give this new column a proper name, short name and proper units.

We suggest ROM Amplitude for long name, AMP for short name. The units should be Angle.

Use the following expression

amplitude("Angle","Time",40,60,10)

This will return the ROM amplitude over a 10 second interval

You will need to insert a graph that displays the new calculated column data long with the Heart Rate Data.
