Public Beta Testing Release - Enhanced Graphical Display
--
This is the graphical beta version of the dual energy system W'balance tracker, featuring comprehensive real-time visualization capabilities alongside numerical displays.
What This Beta Offers
This version builds upon the core physiological modeling with advanced graphical features:
Real-Time Chart Visualization:
--
Live tracking of both energy systems with historical trend lines
Configurable time windows (1-5 minutes) for optimal data perspective
Auto-scaling Y-axis with intelligent range adjustment
Grid overlay for easier value reading
Customizable line thickness and colors
--
Multiple Display Modes:
Numerical displays (alactic only, glycolytic only, both vertical/horizontal)
Chart-only mode for pure graphical analysis
All modes show current percentage values
Note: This is a beta release. Please report any issues or suggestions for improvement!

Quick Guide to W'bal Model Setup
1. Mode Selection:
Preset Mode: The fastest way to get started. Choose a profile that matches your style:
Time Trial: For sustained, steady power.
Universal: A balanced profile for most athletes.
Pursuit: For variable paces and repeated accelerations.
Sprinter: For short, explosive bursts.
Advanced Settings Mode: For manually entering parameters based on individual test results.
_
2. Parameter Setup:
For an accurate setup, perform the testing protocol (see section 3) and enter the calculated values.
Main Parameters:
CP (Watts): Critical Power (your aerobic threshold).
GP (Watts): Glycolytic Power (usually higher than CP).
W' Alactic (Joules): Your "sprint" buffer for efforts up to 30s.
W' Glycolytic (Joules): Your buffer for anaerobic efforts of 2-3 min.
Recovery & Depletion Dynamics:
Alactic Recovery τ (def: 60s): "Sprint" recovery speed.
Glycolytic Recovery τ (def: 240s): Anaerobic endurance recovery speed.
Max Alactic Rate (def: 1000 J/s): The limit on how fast the alactic buffer can be used (use your max 10-15s power as a guide).
ATP-PCr Burst Duration (def: 0s): A "head start" for the alactic system at the beginning of a burst
 - Display Mode
Choose how to view your energy system data:
Alactic Only - Shows only ATP-CP system percentage
Glycolytic Only - Shows only lactate system percentage
Both Horizontal - Side-by-side display of both systems
Chart Only - Full-screen graphical view with trend lines
Color Settings
Alactic & Glycolytic Color: Blue, Red, Green, Pink, System Text
- Chart Time Window
Sets how much historical data appears on the chart:
AUTO (Smart) - Intelligently adjusts window (90-240 seconds) based on your power output and W'bal change rate. Zooms in during intense intervals, zooms out during steady efforts (recommended)
1 min - Best for short, intense intervals; shows rapid changes
2-3 min - Balanced view for most training scenarios
4-5 min - Ideal for longer steady-state efforts or threshold work
- Chart Mode
Controls which energy system(s) appear as lines on the chart:
Alactic only - Single line showing ATP-CP system
Glycolytic only - Single line showing lactate system
Both systems - Overlaid lines for both systems (recommended)
- Line Thickness
Adjusts the thickness of chart lines:
Thin - Minimal visual weight, less screen obstruction
Normal - Balanced visibility (recommended)
Thick - Maximum visibility in bright sunlight or at a glance
- Show Grid
On-Off
Displays horizontal reference lines at 25%, 50%, and 75% on the chart. Helps estimate values at a glance during rides.
- Auto Scale Y-axis
On-Off
When enabled, the chart automatically zooms to fit your current data range:
ON - Chart adjusts to show detail in your actual range (e.g., if you're between 60-95%, it zooms to that range)
OFF - Chart always shows full 0-100% scale
