Torque Data Field
· v3.0.1
About
Overview
Torque Data Field is a application that displays pedaling torque in real-time on garmin device. The app calculates torque from power meter data and cadence, providing multiple display options including absolute and relative values.
-------------------------
Features
Real-time torque calculation from power and cadence data
Multiple display units: Newton-meters (Nm), Kilogram-force (Kgf), and relative values per body weight
Configurable data smoothing for stable readings
All metrics recorded to FIT file for post-ride analysis
Supports common crank lengths from 160mm to 180mm
-------------------------
Display Modes
Newton-meter (Nm) - Standard torque measurement
Kilogram-force (Kgf) - Alternative force measurement
Both (Nm/Kg) - Shows both values simultaneously
Nm per kg bodyweight - Torque efficiency relative to rider weight
Kgf per kg bodyweight - Force efficiency relative to rider weight
All relative - Shows both relative measurements
------------------------
Settings:
Crank Length
Select your crank arm length from common sizes: 160mm, 165mm, 167.5mm, 170mm, 172.5mm, 175mm, 177.5mm, or 180mm. Default is 172.5mm. This setting is required for accurate Kgf calculations.
Body Weight
Enter your body weight in kilograms. This setting is required when using relative display modes (Nm/kg or Kgf/kg).
Display Units
Choose which torque measurement to display on your device during rides. Options range from single metrics to combined displays.
Smoothing
Select the averaging period for torque data: Instant (no smoothing), 3 seconds, 5 seconds, or 10 seconds. Smoothing helps reduce fluctuations in the displayed values for easier reading during rides.
------------------------
Requirements:
- ANT+ or Bluetooth power meter
-----------------------
Data Recording:
All torque metrics are automatically recorded to your activity FIT file;
- Torque (Nm) - Pedaling torque
- Force (Kgf) - Pedal force
- Nm/kg - Torque per bodyweight
- Kgf/kg - Force per bodyweight
----------------------
This allows detailed analysis in Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks, GC, and other training platforms.
