RowH2O Downloads

The RowH2O demo may be downloaded for evaluation purposes by clicking on the appropriate link below. The demo has the following limitations which of course are fully functional in the full version:

Please Read the following before downloading:

RowH2O uses a .MSI Windows Installer file.

Windows ME, 2000 and XP have built-in MSI support.

Users of Windows NT 4.0, 95 and 98 must download Windows Installer, if it was not already installed by another product's installation.

If you are unsure if Windows Installer is present, then run the MSIEXEC command from the Start, Run dialog. If installed, it will report "Incorrect command line parameters" and tell you its version number.

If you do not have Windows Installer, please download the RowH2O version with the installer which will extract the files to a folder on your desktop. Then run the Setup file within which will install Windows Installer as required.

Current release version is V1.4.0

S4 (SIV) monitors are NOT supported by RowH2O

NOTE - WaterRower S3 (SIII) monitor firmware versions 2.5 and 2.6 WaterRower have a software bug so that Heart Rate data is not transmitted over RS232 and so cannot be displayed on the PC. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done in RowH2O to fix this (but you are urged to ask WaterRower to hurry up and fix this annoying problem!)

RowH2O Version History

V1.4.0
Added support for V2.5 Series III Monitors.

V1.3.0
Various minor bug fixes including interval training timer accuracy improved and correct window height with enlarged titlebar height.

V1.2.5
Added fix for V1.8/V1.5 Series III monitors which have a distance bug whereby distance data sent out by monitor is short compared to speed indicated. Enabled in Preferences Menu, Distance Adjustment.

Also V1.8 and V1.5 power curve widths were slightly out due to the SIII timing bug - this has now been compensated for in RowH2O.

V1.2.4
Added Power Plot option to Session Graphs
Time based workout now plots HR even when not rowing - allowing HR recovery profiles to be graphed.
Preferences, Distance Adjustment now has compensation for V1.5 monitors plus an 'experimental' option which may improve stability with some monitors that don't send stroke end data reliably.
Distance session has 1609m added for those who wish to train for 1 mile events.

V1.2.3
Fixed a minor end of session problem where elapsed times were decremented incorrectly in some circumstances.

V1.2.2
Performance Graphs much improved immunity to data 'spikes', especially in time-based sessions.
New Cals feature - option to add 'work done on slide' to calculation.
Windows XP compatibility - slight GUI adjustments for font and window sizes.
Fixed stroke count accuracy of 'special version' (which corrects mis-scaled SIII data output).

V1.2.1
Fix bug where quitting program with Progress Window or Main Window minimised caused problems on subsequent runs.

V1.2.0
Major update. New power-sensitive speed/distance algorithm added overcomes the SIII indicated distance limitation - applying extra power now increases indicated RowH2O speed (unlike SIII indicated distance).
Fixed bug which caused file corruption problems with very long log files.
Added Water Level Compensation volume specified (this is also logged).
Added new Split data - Speed and Strokes Per Minute (SPM) min/max/mean.

V1.1.1
Changed Graph Plotting for Time Sessions - graphs are now plotted vs time instead of relative position of user boat - data is now time-accurate and plots to the completion of a session regardless of relative position of target and user boats.

V1.1.0
Menu Added to Session Progress window.
New display option - Heart Rate, Speed and Rate Graph added to Session Progress Window. Any combination of 3 data types may be selected for plotting. User definable Graph Vertical ranges for each data type. Heart Rate limit lines optionally plotted.
'Always On Top' is now optional instead of compulsory for Session Progress window.
Session Progress window now sets to 100% of available screen width.
Session Progress window position is now stored.
Session Progress window can now be minimised to taskbar.
New compact mode option 'reduce main screen height' - useful for smaller screen resolutions.
Audio Alerts - selected or unselected state now remembered between program runs.

V1.0.9
Heart rate Min/Max/Average now logged per split as well as session.

V1.0.8
Fixed bug where the erratic beat filter is used whether selected or not.

V1.0.7
Auto-Save Log file added - can now specify an auto-save directory - logs are now uniquely 'autonamed'
e.g. 'RowH2O Distance Log 17-Jan-02 at 09.20.43.txt'
Log files information reordered and slightly reformatted.
Heart Rate Monitor 'Erratic Single Beat Filter' now available, selectable via Heart Rate Limits menu option.
Heart rate Min/Max/Average now logged for all sessions.
Average Speed & Average Stroke rate now logged for Distance and Time Sessions.
Session progress window finish line moved slightly left to show finish distance/time and to keep pace boat visible longer if it is ahead at the finish.

V1.0.6
Added missing final split data to Session Logs.

V1.0.5
Added distance compensation option for nonstandard SIII's which output reduced distance scaled data.

V1.0.4
Fixed minor Display Dialog Radio Buttons Bug.
Added Inhibit Screen Saver option.

V1.0.3
Special Beta for non-standard distance data (not released).

V1.0.2
Added selection between bright and normal labels via 'display' menu.

V1.0.1
Tidied screen layout, bright labels option added.

V1.0.0
Initial release.
