6.8 Operating Mode
For better stand-alone functionality when providing general-purpose exercise regimens, two new modes of
operation have been added. The new modes simply stop the treadmill belt when a set duration of time or
distance has elapsed (the same as if the “TREADMILL BELT” toggle were set to “STOP”). The durations
are restored and the treadmill belt will start and run when the “ODOMETER RESET” button is pressed.
The Operating Mode does not function during a PC-Controlled Experiment.
The three modes of operation are:
• Normal: no limits are employed, the treadmill belt must be manually stopped.
• Time Limit: a count-down timer will automatically stop the belt.
• Distance Limit: a count-down odometer will automatically stop the belt.
6.8.0 Normal
This mode does not employ any limits and is backward compatible with previous versions of the Treadmill
Controller. This is indicated by the label “D” for the measured odometer distance which increases as the
treadmill belt moves.
Press the “ODOMETER RESET” button to select the option. The displayed mode is now editable.
Use the “SPEED” knob to select “Normal”.
Then press-and-hold the “ODOMETER RESET” button to save.
