Starting Free Training

Here’s how to start a free training session in ErControl:

1. Set up a training device in the Devices area and mark it active - serial, ANT+ FE-C, or Bluetooth (BLE FTMS or Tacx FE-C over Bluetooth). Optionally also mark a heart rate monitor active.

2. In the main window, choose Start Free Training. ErControl then automatically tries to connect to the active training device (and any active heart rate monitor) using the configured connection type.

3. If no connection can be established, the connection dialog offers to continue with simulated data instead, or to cancel entirely.

During training, gear shifter, intensity and camera distance can be controlled via the keyboard, see Keyboard shortcuts during training. The gear icon at the top right lets you change the gear shifter and other settings directly during a running training, and the size of the value bar can be adjusted live - see Training window.
