Simulator tool for physical exercise device

An apparatus comprising:

• a display screen;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including a computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• execute a simulator program capable of simulating operation of a plurality of exercise sensor devices;
• select a subset of the plurality of exercise sensor devices for simulation, said subset comprising simulated at least one exercise sensor device;
• establish a wireless communication link with a counterpart apparatus of a user according to a communication protocol supported by the simulated at least one exercise sensor device;
• generate measurement data representing measurement data generated by said simulated at least one exercise sensor device;
• and
• test compatibility between the simulated at least one exercise sensor device and the counterpart apparatus by outputting a parameter dependent on the generated measurement data to the display screen for display and to the counterpart apparatus over the communication link in a data structure used by the simulated at least one exercise sensor device.

A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory distribution medium readable by a computer and comprising program instructions which,

• when loaded into an apparatus, execute a computer process comprising:
• executing a simulator program capable of simulating operation of a plurality of exercise sensor devices;
• selecting a subset of the plurality of exercise sensor devices for simulation, said subset comprising simulated at least one exercise sensor device;
• establishing a wireless communication link with a counterpart apparatus of a user according to a communication protocol supported by the simulated at least one exercise sensor device;
• generating measurement data representing measurement data generated by said simulated at least one exercise sensor device;
• and
• testing compatibility between the simulated at least one exercise sensor device and the counterpart apparatus by outputting a parameter dependent on the generated measurement data to the display screen for display and to the counterpart apparatus over the communication link in a data structure used by the simulated at least one exercise sensor device.
