Stimulation Modes
the stimulation intensity will decrease to zero and a bleep will inform the user that
the mode has changed. The intensity will then increase to the previously set level
and exercise will continue in the new mode. If a mode with a different stimulation
frequency is required, it is necessary to switch OFF the stimulator, select the
new mode and then switch ON the stimulator. This is a safety feature to avoid
unexpectedly high stimulation levels.`
Stimulation Formats
The formats continuous, alternate, simultaneous and overlapping describe the
manner in which the intensity of the stimulation output of channels A & B change
relative to each other.
Continuous
The intensity of both outputs gradually increases from zero to the maximum set
by each channel level control and remains at this level until another mode is
selected or the stimulator is switched off. This format is normally used before an
exercise period to allow location of optimum electrodes positions and comfortable
stimulation levels.
