FIT file Forum?

I am working on trying to understand what data is present in the FIT files my devices produce. I am using the FIT SDK and making progress. However, I am finding a lot of unanswered questions. If there a forum for asking such questions? My biggest question at the moment is how to find definitions for the many fields which contain a number. For example DeviceType, DeviceIndex, SourceType. I suspect these can vary by manufacturer, but where does one find definitions for them?

"ANT+ FIT Forum" https://www.thisisant.com/forum/viewforum/27/ is the best place on this forum for FIT related information.

For the specific questions you have, I recommend downloading the FIT SDK from the software download section
https://www.thisisant.com/developer/resources/downloads/#software_tab You w.ill find the answers to your questions in the Profile.xlsx spreadsheet. For example: the "device_info" message in the "Messages" sheet has a "device_type" field, which is of type "antplus_device_type" when the "source_type" field is "antplus" (most common case). You can then find "antplus_device_type" enumerated in the "Types" sheet.

Thank you. I do not know why I did not see these as they were staring right at me. It is a big help.
