5.4.3 Start Manual Experiment
Click the Start button to begin the experiment. A “Save Experiment Data File” window will open.
Enter the name for the data file and click the Save button. The window will close and return to the
experiment window. The hardware will initialize and display:
The shock has been electronically switched off. Now, load the animals into the treadmill and click
the OK button.
First, the shock will be enabled and the treadmill belt will accelerate from reset (0.0 meters/minute) to the
Starting Speed at a default acceleration rate of 2.0 meters/minute/second. Once the Starting Speed has been
reached, the acceleration rate will change as specified by the Acceleration Step and Acceleration Interval
and now the belt speed will accelerate (or decelerate) toward the Ending Speed.
The Treadmill Shock Detection unit will also begin to monitor and report data from the shock grids.
The Incline Controller will move from 0.0° to the “Belt Angle” as specified.
