PolarViewer is a viewer application for exercise files recorded with Polar heartrate monitors. PolarViewer project displays all the recorded exercise data (except power) and creates diagrams.

If you want to organize your exercises and create statistics you should use the SportsTracker application together with PolarViewer.

This is a compatibility list for heartrate monitors:

Polar S610(i) (tested)
Polar S710(i) (tested)
Polar S720i (tested)
Polar S725 (tested)
Polar S625x (tested, HRM files only)
Polar S410 (tested, HRM files only)

Other Polar monitors might work too, but I can't test them. User feedback is welcome.
It's also possible to view HRM exercise files (recorded with the Polar Software for Windows) with PolarViewer.

The application itself is not able to receive the exercise files from the Polar device and store it on the computer. There's an excellent tool called s710 (written by Dave Bailey) which does this job.

Requirements:
Mono >= 1.0.6
Gtk# >= 1.9.2
(s710 >= 0.19)

What's New in This Release:
The HAC4 support was improved by Ilja Booij.
Jacob Ilsoe Christensen has contributed initial support for raw Polar RS200SD exercise files.
Bugfixes and workarounds have been added, so PolarViewer now works with Mono > 1.1.13.
