5.5.1 Creating a Profile

Click the “Profile Mode” tab at the top of the form. The form will now display the current profile as a
list of periods (or steps).
A profile is developed by sequentially defining any number of periods. Each period defines a new ending
speed and time interval. Along with the starting speed, (usually the previous period’s ending speed) the
acceleration is calculated for that period. Also, the stimulus can be enabled (“True”) or disabled (“False”)
for that period. When available, the incline of the belt can also be adjusted upon the start of each period.
By default, the first period (or step), begins at rest (starting speed of 0.0 meters/minute). When additional
periods are added, the previous “End Speed” is copied as the next period’s “Start Speed”.

Select the text boxes and enter the following parameters:

End Speed: 0.0 to 102.3 The desired speed at the end of the period.

Period: 0 to 32767 The duration of the period in seconds.

Belt Angle: -15.0 to +25.0 The desired incline for the entire period.

Stimulus: True or False Enables or disables stimulus for that period.

Comment: optional text Reports information about the period.
Note: The “Stimulus" cannot be set to FALSE if the Treadmill Stimulus Detection is employed.

Click the Add Period button to add another step to the end of the profile.
Click the Delete Period button to remove the last step from the profile.

Click-to-check the “Loop Profile” box, if you’d like to repeat the profile indefinitely. When checked,
you must manually stop the experiment.
