SESSION TOOL
Cardio GX software consists of two parts. The session tool is for heart rate monitoring during the training ses-
sion and showing the individual heart rate summary after the session. The session tool is used by the group
exercise instructors.
The other part of the software is the reception tool which is for managing sessions, session types and exer-
cisers, storing training data, setting up the hardware, and signing up for sessions.
The session tool opens into a full screen mode. You can close it by clicking the Exit button . While
the session tool is running, you can access your Windows desktop by pressing the Windows key on your key-
board. If you have other applications running simultaneously, <Alt> + <Tab> key combination allows you to
toggle between open applications.
