Computer Reference
The operator may custom design his own exerci-
se protocols and store them in computer memory.
This extra ordinary feature makes it possible to
provide 10 additional protocols which may be
setup as special purpose, readily avaliable pro-
tocols. These protocols may be power or force
type, time based designs. This flexibility enables
the user to program several versions of the hills
and valleys(increasing and decreasing workload)
type of exercises and/or modifications to the
Bruce/Naughton type protocols or different types
of incremental work tests. The possibilities are
virtually limitless.
Main menu;
3 Seq.programs
1 Execute, 2 Edit, 3 Exit
Make new program:
Choose 3 ”Seq. program” in the main menu. •
Choose 2 ”Edit”. •
Choose new program by just pressing Enter. •
The display looks as below. •
The marker (arrow in the display) indicates
which position can be edited. When creating a
new program begin to change ”stop” to desired
workload. This is done by the keys 1 - 5.
Key 1 = Newton, key 2 = kp, key 3 = watts, key 4
= kpm/min and key 5 = ml/kg/min. Key 0 = Stop
which is used to end the program.
Example:
Choose i.e. kp (key 2) and press Enter. The mar-
ker turns to the right where workload level can be
set. Type say 1.5 and Enter. Marker moves to po-
sition seconds. Enter say 300(=5 minutes). Mar-
ker moves up and indicates row number. Press
Enter and number increases automatically one
step. Marker moves to type of workload again.
The same as before is set by just pressing Enter. A
change can be done by pressing key 1-5 until the
right type of workload shows up and then press
Enter. Marker moves to workload level. Enter
level , Enter seconds a.s.o. until the program is
long enough.
When the program is to be finished move the
marker to point at type of workload and change
with key 0 which is Stop and then press Enter.
Programming is finished and program number (
0 - 9) must be Entered. Back to menu again.
NOTE: If a figure already containing a program
is used this will erase the old program.
Edit an existing program:
Press 2 = Edit.
Choose program number. Step through the pro-
gram with the Enter key and make desired chan-
ges. Then go to workload setting and change to
Stop (key 0) and then press Enter.
NOTE! After editing an old or new program turn
off the computer for correct download of data.
Execute program:
Begin with 3 Seq. programs in the main menu
and then 1Execute. Choose an existing program
and press Enter.
It is recommended to have a note about different
program types and numbers. However it is pos-
sible to take a look in advance at a program. Do
as under ”Edit an existing program”. If it says
”stop” in work load position there is no program
stored under that number. Use ESC key and try
with a new number.
