Beskrivelse
VGLA Lite PD Analysis is a free Connect IQ data field that directly receives ANT+ cycling dynamics not natively supported by Edge 130 / 130 Plus. It displays Power, PCO, balance, W/kg and W'bal, recording Power, pedaling data and W'bal in the activity FIT as Developer Fields.
[Display]
Shows 3-second average / lap average Power. Each of three lower slots selects PCO (left/right), W/kg (3-second Power / rider weight), Power Balance or W'bal (%). Duplicates are allowed. Defaults: PCO / Balance / W'bal. W/kg and W'bal have no fixed labels.
[W'bal and CP Learning]
CP and W' are calculated from 3, 5, 12 and 20-minute maximal mean powers. Manual inputs accept 0-2000 W; 0 means unset. An invalid or incomplete model shows "--".
CP Source selects Manual or Learned. CP Learning defaults to Off. When enabled, it learns maximal mean powers in 5-second steps while the activity timer runs. Manual and learned values are separate. View or reset learned values in app settings.
Learned model updates apply at the next activity or timer reset. Changing the selected model in settings resets W'bal and briefly shows RESET.
W'bal decreases above CP and recovers below CP. Timer stops/pauses use 0 W recovery; missing Power during a ride is not treated as 0 W. Display: 0-100%. FIT: remaining kJ, preserving negative values separately from invalid data.
W'bal Low Alert sounds and inverts the selected W'bal slot at/below the threshold. Default: On / 20%. Choose from 12 tones. A 0% threshold disables the alert and inversion.
[FIT Recording and Analysis]
Records available Power, Cadence, Balance, TE, PS, PCO, Power Phase and Peak Power Phase, plus calculated W'bal. Availability depends on the meter.
Power is not written as standard Garmin Power. A compatible Cycling Data Analyzer directly analyzes Power, pedaling and W'bal from the original FIT without rebuilding. Optional rebuilt FITs support Garmin Connect and services requiring standard Power.
[Cycling Data Analyzer]
https://toabcycling.org/analyzer/analyzer.html
Free analysis, AI prompt generation and FIT rebuilding. For VGLA Lite Slave gear candidates, analyze gear use with manual front-ring intervals or explicitly selected Analyzer estimation.

[Setup]
1. If needed, calibrate the meter and set crank length using another supported device or the manufacturer's app.
2. Disable the Edge's standard Power sensor connection.
3. Add this field to your activity profile's data screen.
4. Set the meter ANT ID, lower slots and rider weight. Configure manual powers, CP Source and/or CP Learning for W'bal.
5. Start the activity. Afterwards, open the FIT in a compatible Analyzer.
[Use with Other Apps]
PD Analysis does not calculate, display or record gear candidates. Use VGLA Lite Slave, setting gearing and wheel circumference there.
PD Power/Cadence are not shared with Slave. Gear candidates need Edge-provided Speed/Cadence. Without standard Edge Power, Slave's Power displays, calculations and graph are unavailable.
PD Analysis and PCH Alert Lite cannot be used in the same activity.
[Privacy]
Analyzer reads, analyzes and rebuilds FITs in your browser. Original FITs, ride data, results and rebuilt FITs are not sent to VGLA servers. Online maps contact external map providers.
[Notes]
- Requires a compatible ANT+ power meter. Tested with Vector 3 and Assioma Pro; not all meters are supported. Unsent dynamics cannot be received.
- No zero-offset calibration or crank-length adjustment.
- CP/W'bal are estimates. Enabling learning does not immediately create a valid model.
- Beta learning data does not transfer automatically to production.
- Prioritize road conditions, traffic rules and safety.
[Supported Devices]
Edge 130 / Edge 130 Plus
Minimum Connect IQ API: 3.1.0
Nyheder
[What's New]
v01.53
- Added W'bal calculation from received Power, percentage display and FIT recording in kJ.
- Added CP/W' calculation from 3, 5, 12 and 20-minute maximal mean powers.
- Added CP Source selection between manual and learned models.
- Added CP Learning in 5-second steps, with learned value display and reset.
- Added a low W'bal sound alert and display inversion, with an adjustable threshold and 12 tones.
- Made each lower slot independently selectable: PCO, W/kg, Power Balance or W'bal.
- Removed fixed W/kg and W'bal labels.
- Moved virtual gear candidate calculation, display and recording from PD Analysis to VGLA Lite Slave.
- Added a new FIT format for Power, pedaling data and W'bal.
- Preserved negative W'bal values and distinguished zero from unset/invalid data.
- Added direct Power, pedaling and W'bal analysis from the original FIT without rebuilding, using a compatible free Cycling Data Analyzer.
- Retained Analyzer support for older PD recording formats and optional FIT rebuilding.
- Reduced memory use and improved startup and settings-save stability.
- Fixed optimized simulator startup and settings-screen synchronization.
- Preserved the production Application ID and existing ANT ID, rider weight and lower-left PCO/W/kg settings.
Notes:
- W'bal shows "--" until a valid manual or learned model is available.
- Beta CP learning data does not transfer automatically to production.
- To record gear candidates with the current version, use VGLA Lite Slave. Slave requires Speed and Cadence available to the Edge itself.
Initial Public Release
- Released VGLA Lite PD Analysis.
- Added support for Edge 130 / 130 Plus.
- Added direct reception of Power and cycling dynamics from compatible power meters.
- Added data display during activities.
- Added recording of received data in a proprietary FIT format.
- Added calculation and recording of logs for virtual mechanical gear analysis.
- Added front/rear gear position and shift history analysis using VGLA Analyzer.
- Added data analysis and rebuilt FIT generation using VGLA Analyzer.
Note: Gear recording in the initial release describes the older PD specification. In the current version, Slave records gear candidates.
