4.5.13 Experiment: Data View
Once the experiment has started, the screen will display the Data View. The currently selected channel to
display is in the upper left corner. The channel will be ON if the stimulus is enabled or OFF if it has been
stopped. The upper right corner will display the various data types and their current value. If the label of the
data type appears in all upper-case values, then that data type can automatically stop the presentation of
stimulus. If it appears in all lower-case letters, then it cannot. The bottom line reports the total distance
traveled by the subject of that channel.
The CHANNEL knob is used to select one of the active channels and to view its data on the screen.
The UP/DOWN knob is used to select one of the data types to view. When the stimulus has been automatically
stopped, an asterisk (*) will appear next to the label of the data type which triggered it. When stopped, the
current values of all data types for that channel will be frozen for later review.
If you would like to manually stop the presentation of stimulus for the currently selected channel, then press
the ENTER button. The channel will toggle from ON to OFF and all the data types will be frozen at their current
values for review. You may resume the presentation of the stimulus by pressing the ENTER button again. A
channel that has been automatically stopped cannot be resumed.
4.5.14 Experiment: Setup View
Pressing the FUNCTION button will toggle the screen between Data View and Setup View. This screen allows
reviewing of the experiment parameters while an experiment is running. Use the CHANNEL knob to review all
the experiment settings. Press the FUNCTION button to return to Data View.
When the current experiment has finished, use the console controls to copy the important data from the
screen. Then press the RESET button to discard all results and return to the top of the list of experiment
parameters.

stretch and become loose which may also coincide with the belt beginning to track away from the center of
the treadmill. Adjustments can be made to return the belt to the center of the treadmill.
