Re: [PATCH] Heart Rate Profile API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Santiago,

I think this API covers the HR spec well enough. There is the "Reset
Energy Expended" operation which is not being exposed here (I suppose
it could be a method).

A few textual comments below.

typo: reat -> rate

I would rather not use "scanned" word here as it is not used on the
spec. What about:

"Registers a watcher to monitor heart rate measurements."

typo: wich -> which

Suggestion for the beginning of this sentence: "The interval field,
which is also optional, is an array containing RR-Interval values..."

Be sure to add a new line here, so it does not generate unnecessary
diff when someone edits this file later.
