SECTION 5
PERFORMING A PC-CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT
The Treadmill Software provides more control over the treadmill than the Treadmill Controller alone. The
belt speed and acceleration can be varied continuosly as well as the shock switched on and off throughout
the entire experiment session. Of course, data from the treadmill system are collected and logged into the
experiment data file.
5.0 Treadmill Controller Setup
Attention! Use the following procedure to prevent the application of an undesirable
treadmill belt speed or high intensity shock upon the application of AC power.
Disable the shock stimulus for all lanes by setting toggle switches toward the rear of the treadmill.
Turn the “SPEED” knob counter-clockwise, all of the way to the end-stop.
Set the “TREADMILL BELT” toggle switch to “RUN”.
Now, switch on the Treadmill Controller. The power switch is above the AC power receptacle on the
rear panel.
The front panel display should report the current speed as “0.0”, the mode indicator will be a progress bar
that grows from left to right, the odometer distance as “0.0” and the current acceleration settings.
