t6 command line application

t6 is a program to configure and download logs from the Suunto t6. The program replicates the functionality of Suunto's Suunto Training Manager (STM), but does not perform any analysis. t6 has so far been tested on Linux and Windows compiled using gcc under cygwin. The latest version of t6 is available as t6-0.5a.c (source), or as a windows executable wt6-5a.exe. The windows executable requires the cygwin1.dll available as a local copy here or directly from cygwin

. There is an experimental natively compiled windows executable that does not require cygwin1.dll here: nwt6-5.exe

The source can simply be compiled with gcc t6-0.5a.c -o t6

The linux driver for the Suunto supplied USB-serial snake is called ftdi_sio and should hopefully be loaded by default when plugged in

Usage: ./t6 -f device (often /dev/ttyUSB0), windows: wt6-5 -f device (often /dev/com3), native windows: nwt6-5 -f device (just use com3 in this case)
[ -m "hexstart length" ] -- dump memory
[ -M "hexstart data" ] -- write memory
[ -r ] -- read settings
[ -w "settings"] -- write settings (output from -Br)
[ -h ] -- read history
[ -H ] -- reset history
[ -o ] -- read hr settings
[ -O "settings"] -- write hr settings
[ -S ] -- output log stats
[ -s ] -- read serial number
[ -l ] -- read log data
[ -L ] -- read log headers
[ -D "n [m] ..."] -- delete specific logs
[ -c ] -- read calibration factors
[ -n "a [b [c]]]" -- write calibration factors
[ -v ] -- read versions
[ -V ] -- saVe settings and memory dump
[ -X ] -- output XML
[ -B ] -- output brief
[ -C ] -- output CSV
[ -a ] -- read config -rhoscv
[ logn [logm] ... ] -- specific log numbers

There are also a few undocumented options that you need to look at the source if you want to try them out. One of which is -R n which repeats every read n times and compares the results. Perhaps try -R 2 to improve reliability on windows. I also added the -V option that saves an image of the t6 that I can examine. It includes all settings and in-use memory. If you notice a bug then I'll need that to debug it.

Examples

Show versions (linux): t6 -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -v
(windows): wt6-5 -f /dev/com3 -v
(native windows): nwt6-5 -f com3 -v

epson (t6 firmware): 1.1.7
texas (foot pod): 1.1.6 hrbelt: 1.0.1
connected devices:

Dump memory (linux): t6 -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -V > outputfile
(windows): wt6-5 -f /dev/com3 -V > output.txt

Windows example usage. Assume you've copied wt6-5.exe and cygwin1.dll to c:\t6, and have started a command prompt and changed to that directory


C:\T6\> wt6-5 -f /dev/com3 -vXa
should output something like this:
