Software to view and save sensor data?

I'm just getting started, and would like to view and understand the data provided by a Polar H10 HR monitor as a way of better understanding ANT+.

What software can I use to do that with an ANT+ stick on a PC?

I thought SimulANT+ would do it, since the software page says it can be used for "Receiving from ANT+ devices".

However, while I can see the USB stick, I can't see any way to read read data from the real HR sensor.

Thanks,
Dirk

In case anyone else is trying to figure this out:

SimulANT is the easiest way to do this. It doesn't just simulate sensors, it can also simulate a sensor _display_, which is what I needed.

With a heart rate monitor, I added a simulator and chose "Heart Rate Display".

Then, after pressing "Turn On", you should see the display connecting to the heart rate monitor. This doesn't always happen reliably, so try multiple times until it works.

Make sure your sensor is actually on (for example, heart rate monitors have to be on your body to transmit).

It worked. I could connect to the heart rate monitor. Many thanks.

With the help of the open source program ANT+ to OSC Bridge, you may link ANT+ devices and transform data into OSC protocol. Linux, macOS, and Windows are among the operating systems on which ANT+ to OSC Bridge is compatible. The ANT+ Plugin allows you to receive and analyze ANT+ data if you're using Cycling '74's Max MSP. This plugin offers features for receiving data from ANT+ devices and transforming it into a format that is compatible with Max MSP.

For viewing data from your Polar H10 HR monitor via ANT+ on PC, consider using ANT+ Agent by Garmin or Golden Cheetah, both supporting ANT+ devices like heart rate monitors. Ensure compatibility with your specific monitor model.

To view and understand data from a Polar H10 HR monitor using an ANT+ stick on a PC, you can use software like ANT+ Agent or ANT+ Development Kit. While SimulANT+ is useful for simulating ANT+ devices, it may not support live data from real sensors. ANT+ Agent provides a more direct interface for receiving and analyzing data from ANT+ devices, including heart rate monitors. Ensure your ANT+ stick drivers and software are correctly installed for proper device communication.
