The invention relates to a measuring device ( ) carried by a user during exercise for measuring non-invasively at least one signal from the body, e.g. a wireless heart rate monitor, and to a method of controlling same. The measuring device comprises a user interface ( ). The user interface comprises selection means ( ), e.g. push buttons ( ), and display means ( ), e.g. a liquid crystal display. The user interface ( ) displays different operating modes, e.g. a watch mode ( ), a set mode ( ) and an operating mode ( ) for measuring a signal from the body. The operating modes are arranged as a main loop sequence ( - - - ). The operating modes have different sub-operating modes for displaying parameters associated with exercising. The sub-operating modes are arranged as sub-loop sequences ( - - - ) under each operating mode. In accordance with the invention, the user is able to configure the sub-loop sequence ( - - - ) by the selection means ( ).

Non-invasive measuring device with different operating modes

The invention relates to a telemetric measuring method and system. In the method, different sensors are used to measure at least two different variables, i.e. heartbeat, the speed and pedalling cadence of a bicycle. The measurement data on each measured variable is transferred by means of telemetric data transmission to the same receiver unit. The invention is characterized in that in the telemetric data transmission to the receiver unit, the transmission pulse groups included in the measurement data on a single measure variable comprise, in the transmission pulse group, at least two intervals. The intervals are formed between at least three identifier pulses, the combination of which is specific to the particular measure variable. In order to identify the measurement data of the different measured variables, the interval combination of the transmission pulse group of the measured variable concerned is preferably different from the interval combinations appearing in the pulse groups or the pulse group sequences of the other measured variables.
