I got some feedback from Polar on how to capture their graph and post it online. This may work for other HRM programs from Timex, Nike, etc., though I honestly don't know.
Dear Mr. Mann,

Thank you for your email.

You may use the Export as Text feature in the PPP SW. Export as Test
saves the exercise/activity data to an ASCII text file with the .txt extension. You can then open the exported file in other software.

If the function is not visible in the File menu, select Options – Preferences and open the Features page. Then check the Export as Text box to display the function in the menu.

If you have made selections in the Curve view, the information is saved according to these selections in the text file.

You can also use the Copy function in the Listing to export exercise and activity data to other software.
Open Listing (View – Listing). Select Edit – Copy to copy all values
on the Listing to the Clipboard. Then paste them to the desired
program, for example, Windows Notepad.

For further information see the on-line help file in the software.

If you need further assistance please feel free to contact Customer Service at 800-227-1314 or 516-364-0400.

Thank you for choosing Polar.

So I will give this a shot as soon as possible. I would also like to direct you to Bolder in Boulder's blog where he has listed a method of posting HRM graphs using a different method. I am going to try both methods.

Hey Com,

I think the method that Polar described is just going to get you the raw data. It'll probably just be a bunch of numbers that really won't make much sense to the reader. I think I seem to remember trying that once and that's all I got, anyway? If you try us, let us know if you get something more "valuable".
