Computed activity fields

Mmm… What about fields without name? I mean, there are some hidden gems like recovery HR in the “field 202”, are they recoverable? I have try “202” or “filed202”, but I don’t know if this is possible.

I have added support for fields without names. Justify use the field number e.g. “202” instead of the name. I will deploy this on Monday AM.

Is it possible to access previous activity records, or previously calculated fields? eg to compare this activity to some previous record or index to give a quick indicator of better or worse than.

Not yet. I have that kind of thing planned for custom wellness fields. You can plot custom activity field on the /fitness page to see changes over time.

That shouldn’t happen. I just re-analysed by last 3 rides and it didn’t change the gear totals.

It is happening to me for runs. I just reprocessed one activity and noticed that the default gear for it had added to it the activities distance. If there’s anything I can do to help debugging contact me, I can’t add screenshots now but will do it latter if it helps.

You can now map custom activity fields to any message and field, not just session fields. The default behaviour is to look in the session record for a matching field name or number. However you can prefix the field name/number with the name/number of the record to search in other records.

Examples:

  • activity.total_timer_time
  • 140.4 (field number 4 of message number 140, Garmin Venu watch training effect times 10)

The script of the custom field can be used to transform the value once it has been read:

activity.isNew ? activity.TrainingEffect / 10 : activity.TrainingEffect

This expression only does this when the activity is new or its file is reprocessed otherwise it returns it as is.

This is truly amazing.

I’d like to check the final battery status or charge for my di2, HRM and PM. Is it possible to specify which you’d like and ensure it’s the last occurrence of that (I assume it creates a new device_info for each auto stop)?

-=EDIT=-

Though I did then find the activity.power_meter_battery which helps for that but still stuck on di2 & HRM

I looked at one of my fit files and it looks like my eTap, Head Unit, QUARQ and Polar display some kind of battery status in device messages. Haven’t taken a closer look though.

Grouping those by DeviceID/Serial Mumber and taking the lowest would be great

I have a custom field set-up for Garmin’s VO2max estimate that seems to work sort-of but flips between the raw Fitfile data value and my derived, calculated value. On the Fitness page it plots only the raw value so I assume I have something not quite right somewhere? See screenshots below:

Just reverse the terms and be careful with upper/lower case and with field code spelling:

activity.isNew ? activity.VO2maxGarmin * 3.5 / 65536 : activity.VO2maxGarmin

EDIT: Figured it out. Speed is in m/s and need to convert to KMH by multiply 3.6

Help?
How come this either doesn’t work (wrong data/number) or doesn’t have data? (I did the Activty-Analyse)

All data in m/s can be automatically formatted as pace using the recent option added for that:

Or do you need especially km/h?

Yea. I would like to see Max Speed during a Ride. So, kmh

Is supporting this for filters on the roadmap as well? Would be really nice to be able to use the same custom computed fields as a filter on either the activity list view or in the fitness graphs

You can do this using the new powerCurve object (available as icu.powerCurve). I have edited the top post and there is some more detail here:

Just added: If the field has multiple values you can use array index notation to extract the one you want:

avg_left_power_phase[2]

To get the 3rd value (first has index 0).

Thanks, I’ll try it right away :+1:

Late to the party here. Using this is it possible to get the max 5min power, max 20min power etc from within an activity? Are these the actual/raw power data or is this fitted to a curve?

This could potentially save me days of processing!!

Thanks

John

Just to clarify, ultimately what I’m after is the data that sits behind an individual activity power curve over the API.

Yes you can get those. This will give you the best 5m power for the activity from the actual power duration curve (not modelled):

icu.powerCurve.getWatts(5 * 60)
