Besides the demo software, the eZ430-Chronos kit comes with an additional software project that turns the Chronos module into a data logger. Heart rate (3), temperature, and altitude can be logged in user definable intervals of 1 to 255 seconds. 8KB of flash memory is reserved for logging several hours up to days, depending on the settings. The stored data can be transferred to a PC (in CSV format) and used for further analysis. The data logger provides fewer features compared to the demo software as memory is freed for data storage. Most importantly, no Set Functions are available (that is, the Chronos module cannot be set or calibrated standalone); however, calibration can be done conveniently by using the eZ430-Chronos Data Logger PC software. The software project for CCS can be found in C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\eZ430-Chronos\Software Projects\Chronos Watch\CCS\Data Logger and for IAR in C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\eZ430-Chronos\Software Projects\Chronos Watch\IAR\Data Logger.
