HRM that allows data export

The Ciclotour software that came with my HAC4 stores the data it gets from
the HRM in text format. Here are the first few lines from one of the files:

Can anyone recommend heart rate monitors that allow data export to a
text file?

The manufacturers don't seem to advertise this feature even if it is
available. I've looked at the Garmin, Polar, and Timex websites, all
of which tout their proprietary software but give no indication of
whether it allows data export.

As I posted in another thread last week, I am in a physiology lab that
has numerous Polar S510 HRMs and the PC Coach Lite software. As far
as I can tell, there is no export command anywhere in the software and
no capability to copy and paste data into any other program. I can't
even find the data files to try to open them. I did try the
rs200_decode software the someone in the group recommended to me last
week, but without success. Just to clarify (given the replies to the
previous query), importing data into a spreadsheet is not the problem
- I just can't extract it from the stupid Polar software in the first
place. I think that some of the higher-end Polar software allows data
export, but I can't find the information on their web site.

If anyone in the group can say, "I own x HRM with y software and I can
export the data as text," that would be useful information as we
decide whether to buy new HRMs.

Thanks.

I'm using Polar Precision Performance SW from Polar with the S520.
Data from the monitor is uploaded via microphone. Each workout
creates a data file in C:\Program Files\Polar\Polar Precision
Performance\My Name\2007. Yesterday's file is 07020401.hrm.

The interesting thing about the data is the sampling rate is dependent
upon the total exercise time. A half hour recording samples at thirty
seconds. A two hour recording samples at two minutes. The variable
sampling rate may preclude the use of the S510 even if the software
issue is resolved.

I own a Polar 720i with Polar Precision Performance software and I can
export the data as text. How is that?

The S720 allows manual setting of the sample rate, from 5 seconds on
up in a few steps - don't know how many, because the 5s rate still
allows for almost 12 hours of data.

In the accompanying Polar Precision Performance software, get the
curve window and go View|Listing to get a table of all the samples,
then Edit|Copy to get

Time HR bpm Speed mph Altitude ft Distance miles
0:00:00 112 0.0 -115 0.000
0:00:05 115 0.0 -115 0.000
0:00:10 122 3.6 -115 0.005
0:00:15 126 7.3 -115 0.015
0:00:20 127 10.1 -115 0.029etc.

on your clipboard. This is tab delimited so it's really easy to import
to a spreadsheet

Or just File->Export as text so you get a neat textfile without header.
Like this:

100 0.0 0 20 0
105 9.9 0 20 0
110 20.7 0 20 0
116 25.3 75 20 0
125 26.2 84 20 0
128 27.0 87 20 0
130 27.3 87 20 0
130 27.4 88 20 0
132 28.4 91 20 0
132 29.9 95 20 0
131 31.4 101 19 0
131 32.4 104 19 0
133 29.6 94 18 0
135 27.8 89 19 0
138 26.2 84 19 0
139 25.6 82 20 0
139 23.8 76 20 0
139 24.3 78 20 0
142 25.3 82 20 0
143 25.9 83 20 0
140 24.0 0 20 0
135 23.1 0 20 0

Columns: HR, Speed, Cadence, Altitude. Time intervals as set. Mine is
always set to 5 seconds. I never understood time intervals of more than
10 seconds.
