 ### Checking the physical properties of the rower
 
-One thing to check is what the original sensor actually measures. You can physically look in the rower, but most manuals also include an exploded view of all parts in the machine. There you need to look at the placement of the sensor and the magnets. Most air-rowers measure the flywheel speed, but most water-rowers measure the handle speed and direction. Open Rowing Monitor is best suited for handling a spinning flywheel or water impellor, or anything directly attached to that. If your machine measures the impellor or flywheel directly, please note the number of magnets per rotation, as you need that parameter later on. So when you encounter a handle-connected machine and it is possible and within your comfort zone, try to add sensors to the flywheel or impellor.

So when you encounter a handle-connected machine and it is possible and within your comfort zone, try to add sensors to the flywheel or impellor as it results in much better metrics.
 
 If you are uncomfortable modifying you machine, you can still make OpenRowingMonitor work, but with a loss of data quality. Where a flywheel or impellor can give information about the force and speeds created, the alternative can not. So you end up with a fixed distance per stroke, but you can connect to tools like EXR and the like. By setting *autoAdjustDragFactor* to false, *autoAdjustRecoverySlope* to false, *minumumRecoverySlope* to 0, *minimumStrokeQuality* to 0.01 and other parameters like dragFactor to a realistic well-choosen value (to make the metrics look plausible), OpenRowingMonitor will essentially calculate distance based on impulses encountered. Although not ideal for metrics, this can result in a working solution. Please note that the distance per stroke is essentially fixed, so many more advanced metrics are not relevant and stroke detection might be a bit vulnerable.
