Polar RS200 files

From what I've read, PC coach does support the RS200. It also will record the "lap" info which the PolarRunningCoach does not (unless they've updated it). I was seriously looking into the RS200, but decided against it, so I don't have any personal experience with it, but I did do alot of research.
 

Unfortunately, with the PolarRunningCoach service, you cannot get the data off of their web server.

Marma, Polar does have  the ".hrm" format for the files. I have it somewhere and if you want it, let me know.

Also, I stumbled across a Linux app which reads in various IR based Polar HRMs and generates a .hrm file. I actually stole come code and hacked a version to read a Polar E600 (Phys Ed model) I got on ebay for cheap, so I do have some experience with the raw data of these devices.  If you want I could help get some decoder routines for you, but the testing effort would have to be huge.

Thanks for the replies...

I found this little command line app that does exactly what I want.

 http://rs200-decoder.sourceforge.net/

It reads the "beeps" and outputs in several formats including CSV, XML and others.  It has no connection to the polar software at all, which imho is a good thing.

I created a little database that runs the command and extracts the bits of data I want and puts it in a format that I can paste into my bt log, while storing the whole file in the dbase for future ref.
