eZ430-Chronos Software
3.1 Overview
This chapter describes the software that is included in the eZ430-Chronos kit. Different projects and PC
user interfaces are available:
eZ430-Chronos sports watch software
Control Center PC software for Windows and Linux
eZ430-Chronos watch data logger
Data logger PC software for Windows and Linux
Many features of the eZ430-Chronos kit are based on TI's SimpliciTI protocol stack. However, the
eZ430-Chronos watch can also be used as a heart-rate monitor. For this purpose, the BlueRobin™
ultra-low-power protocol stack can be used.

is implemented on the watch and USB access point. The
protocol stacks are selected automatically, depending on which feature is used.
3.2 eZ430-Chronos Sports Watch Software
The sports watch firmware (default) provides a broad set of features. Besides basic watch functions such
as time, date, alarm and stopwatch advanced sports watch features such as an altimeter, heart-rate
monitor*, calorie*, vertical speed* and distance information* are available. The internal accelerometer
provides acceleration data on the watch LCD and allows control of a PC by transferring the sensor's
measurements. The watch can also be used to control PowerPoint or other PC software with its buttons.
User concept:
The different features are either available in the top or bottom LCD line.
There are three user modes available: Modes such as Time or Date, Secondary Functions that allow
activation and deactivation of features (for example, to start or stop the stopwatch or to enable or disable
the alarm), and Set Functions that allow changing settings (for example, setting the time or date or
resetting the stopwatch) (see Figure 3-1).
Modes: The different modes can be selected by using the button left of the corresponding LCD line.
Examples:
The "*" button allows selecting the top line mode
The "#" button allows changing the bottom line modes
Secondary Functions: Secondary functions provide an extension to the selected mode and are
available through the button to the right of the corresponding LCD line.
Examples:
Toggling between time (HH:MM) and seconds (.SS) in time mode: push "UP" button to toggle between
modes.
Start/Stop in stopwatch mode: push "DOWN" to start or stop stopwatch
Set Functions: Time, date and other options can be set by holding the button left of the corresponding
LCD line.
Examples:
Setting the time (shown in top LCD line): hold the "*" button to enter the time set menu.
Resetting the stopwatch (shown in bottom LCD line): hold the "#" button to reset.
