I am trying to merge my TymeWear ventilation data with my normal activity files (outdoor rides, runs, TrainingPeaks virtual etc).
The merge feature in TymeWear doesn’t work. I have spent a week with AI trying to build a tool that does it, with no luck.
In simple terms I just want to append the activity fit file with the ventilation data (developer fields beginning with tyme* from th secondary fit file) where the timestamps match.
I’m not 100% sure whether the “File Combiner” simply appends files one after another or also merges records that share the same timestamp. I don’t have a file on hand to test it right now, but I’m hoping it can merge overlapping data as well. If anyone’s tried this, please confirm!
Alternative:
This one should combine and merge if the first tool doesn’t.
Fitfiletools can’t do that. It only appends activities.
Gotoes might be able with the payed version. It depends if the dev fields are correctly parsed. I’ve been doing this for years with Coros run files to merge Garmin AlphaHRV IQ data into them. But some data from the Garmin get’s lost. Gear data on a ride FIT for example is not being written to the merged file.
I have the paid version and willing to try it out for you. PM me the files and I’ll have a go at it.
You could try EnDuRA (www.endura.fit). On the analyse a session page select both FIT files when browsing to choose an activity. As long as the timestamps align then you should get a single merged activity. You can then export the CSV (select just the columns you want as there’s a lot of junk in there!) which I think you could import into intervals.
The software Fit File Repair Tools (not FitFileTools) will do it. I used to do that all the time on Zwift when I dual recorded so I could have the Garmin metrics from Zwift before Garmin started calculating them from Zwift files.
Are the dev fields (from IQ extensions) conserved in that export?
It’s been a while since I used Golden Cheetah and the last version I used, did not conserve them.
I tried, but Gotoes has a problem with the US formatted numbers from TymeWear. Gotoes expects Euro metric values in the FIT. Comma/dot is causing wrong interpretation.
