Selecting a Person 

A warning icon 

 following “Person” indicates that no person is 

selected. If you collect data before selecting a person, that data will be 

associated with a “default user”. The best practice is to select a person 

immediately. 
1.

 

From the Account/Upload screen, choose 

Person

. The Person list 

will be displayed. 

 

 

2.

 

Select the person with whom you want to associate data. The 

following message will appear. 

Logged data exists that is not associated with a person. Do you want it associated 

with [

person

]? 

3.

 

Choose 

Yes

. The name you select will appear under “Person”, and a 

checkmark will replace the warning icon. 

Hint:

 At any time, you can choose 

Person

 to open the Person list 

and select a different person. 

Important!

 If you choose 

No

, you won’t have another chance to 

associate the current data with a person. Your only option would be 

to save the data to a file to view on your device or a computer. See 

“

Saving Data to a File to Analyze Manually

”.
