3. Usage

3.1 Test

For testing the Pabilo application on your palm you can use the pabilotest application that comes with PabiloII. It is an application that runs on your linux (SuSE preferably) system and feeds Pabilo with data using the serial port.
I have also a QT application to have some graphical interface that can be downloaded from my website with the following link

3.2 General Usage

 

After installing Pabilo on your Palm and mounting the Speedo sensor hardware to your bike you are ready to make your first trip.

Just start the Pabilo application and create a new Trip with the New button.
The name you enter here will be the database-name on your Palm that is associated with your trip.
All data records created during your trip will be stored here for later review.


After creating the trip you can now select it and open it with the open button. The first thing to do is set the preferences for your wheel size and update rate by selecting the preferences menuitem.


when you did not select the Trip and press open or delete you see the following alert.
You have to take care with the delete function because the delete is immediate so no questions if you realy realywould like to do this.
It is planed for a future release but for now you have to be carefull what you are doing.


3.3 Preferences

prefs

The Preferences let you change the folowing settings:

  • Wheel size in cm
  • Maximum Speed to scale the graphical speed repressentation
  • screen update rate in seconds
  • Data log rate indicates the time in seconds that a record is created with the current speed and the total wheelrounds since start of the trip.

3.4 Replay


The replay functionality has been improved and lets the user view back the trips that were made and stored in a trip database.
The graphic now shows all information that can be retreived from the database. And the looks have been improved too.
