GARMIN XERO® C1 PRO CHRONOGRAPH DATA FILES

Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

Last week we released v3.30 for the Xero C1 chronograph. While adding some new functionality to simplify gathering data downrange, we introduced a bug that caused shots to be missed. We have resolved the issue and a new version of software, v3.32 has been released today. We apologize for the...

Some information found somewhere in this thread.

When the sync process is interrupted by the app inexplicably getting stuck on "connecting," certain Shot Sessions can be tagged as having been "synced" and will be removed from the queue.

As a result, the app will refuse to download them from the chronograph - and thusly, one cannot email themselves their *.csv files for record - keeping.

Thus far, Garmin has not rectified the issues with Shot Sessions being dropped from the sync process.

Data is stored in Metric by default.

For those wishing to preserve the original format in their spreadsheets in both Metric and Imperial, there is a roundabout way...

 

[Edsel]

Connect the chronograph to your console and navigate to the subdirectory "Shot_Sessions."

It behaves like a USB drive.

Each Shot Session is an individual file, indexed by its time stamp.

Garmin Chrono CSV Converter tool available!

Well looks like everyone is asking for a tool to easily export the data from the Garmin Xero C1 chronograph FIT files into CSV files, so I wrote a tool to do just that! First release of the tool made available on github. It can be found at https://github.com/bmghunter/FitToCsv. You will need to...

FIT File Viewer

View and download all the content of a .FIT file, fix corrupted files so you can import them into Garmin Connect, Strava, etc.

Use one of several methods to view the *.fit files.

Couldn't get the first one to work, but the online one's just fine.

Copy the relevant information onto Notepad to strip the formatting, then paste the information into Excel, which recognizes the spacing and preserves tabulation.

It's just awesome that the data remains tabular.

Otherwise, this task would have been a royal pain.

 

[Edsel]

Copy the layout from prior successfully synced Shot Sessions, and substitute values from latest *.fit files.

Don't forget to enter the projectile mass.

Note: As stated previously, measured values stored are in Metric.

Formulas used...

Note: Still doing Metric values, Imperial's next.

 

[Edsel]

To fill in the Imperial sheets, there's a way of directly porting values from one worksheet to another - but for now we'll use a simpler, more direct method for the sake of illustrating how it's done.

Convert m/s to f/s. Copy (Ctrl + C) 3.28084 (number of feet in a meter) > Select velocities > Right Click on selected velocities > Paste Special > select Radio Buttons as above > OK

Only the Kinetic Energy and Power Factor formulae differ slightly from their Metric versions.

 

[Edsel]

There's probably a simpler, more streamlined way of doing things - but I hope this provides at the very least the basic information needed for such.

I would very much prefer that Garmin simply got the app to sync things properly.

Thanks for this. I have not had that issue but now I can use this as a backup if need be.
