System parameter 

 
 

 
In the System Parameters different ergometer specific settings can be carried out, from which 
the most important are: 

!

 

Selecting RS232 protocol. 

!

 

Adjusting the readout parameters. 

!

 

Trainings mode selection (hyperbolic, linear, fixed Torque, HR controlled). 

!

 

Selection of language, default start menu and I/O settings. 

6.1

 

Set display 

 
 

 
This function allows you to adjust the parameters which can be read out on the display during 
exercising that is in user guide, terminal or analog mode. Only two parameters can be 
displayed simultaneously. If more are set to ON they are shown in groups of 2 scrolling with 
a 5 second interval (see the example given in 6.1.3). The selection cannot be left keeping the (

 

button pressed. You have to pass through all the possible readout parameters and afterwards 

you can choose to save the changes or not. When YES is chosen, this setting is kept even after 
new start-up. Choosing default allows you to go to default factory settings for the display 
parameters. These are P, RPM and heart rate set to ON. 
 

 
Press the 

( ) 

button to go to the next parameter and switching the actual parameter ON/OFF is 

done with 

▼▲

 keys. 

6.1.1

 

Power 

 
 

 
Power indication in watt can be switched ON or OFF using the 

▼▲

 keys. The power 

displayed is the actual power of the brake. This means that regulation speed is incorporated. 
If, for instance, a workload of 400 W is desired and P-slope is 25 W/s it takes 400/25=16
