The  vertical  axes  shows  either  the  resistance  or  the  watts.  A  matrix  of  20  horizontal  segments  and  13  vertical  levels  is 
displayed in the center of the screen. Horizontally, each segment (dot) represents one twentieth of the length of the exercise. 
Vertically, each dot represents 2 levels from 1 to 20. 
 
Every  exercise  program  begins  on  the  left-hand  side  of  the  screen  and  ends  when  it  has  reached  the  right-hand  side.  A 
flashing dot shows your progress in the program. As the resistance or watts level varies, the profile moves towards the top (If 
resistance or watts level is increasing) or towards the bottom (If the resistance or watts level is decreasing) of the screen. At 
the  bottom  of  the  screen  (Underneath  the  profile  of  your  program),  a  scrolling  message  center  indicates  various  exercise 
parameters not shown in the dedicated windows.
