1 First Steps


Before using your SIGMA device for the first time, you should create the device in DATA CENTER. If the SIGMA device is connected to the computer you can also check and modify the device settings and transfer these to your SIGMA device again.

1.1 DATA CENTER

DATA CENTER enables you to evaluate your SIGMA device’s data on a computer or Mac. There are several types of data:

Note:

For information about which data your device provides, please see your device’s operating instructions. To optimally use this data with DATA CENTER, we recommend that you use an optionally available docking station or the SIGMA wireless dongle. This enables you to directly transmit the data between your SIGMA device and DATA CENTER.

Important:

Depending on your computer and the volume of data, the data transfer may take several minutes. Do not cancel the database update once it has started as not all the data may be transferred into the new database.

1.1.6 Connecting the docking station

A docking station is available for many SIGMA SPORT devices. Depending on the device, the docking station either comes with the product or can be purchased as an accessory. The docking station enables you to transmit the values from your SIGMA device to DATA CENTER and copy device settings. You can connect the docking station to your computer via a USB interface.

Note:

An OTG-USB adapter is required for Android.

1.2.1 Evaluation in five steps

Without a docking station

  1. Starting the software
  2. Selecting activities
  3. Manually creating an activity
  4. Selecting an activity
  5. Manually entering data values

With a docking station or using a cable

  1. Starting the software
  2. Connecting the SIGMA device to the computer
