TREADMILL SOFTWARE DESCRIPTIONS
7.0 Experiment >> Run
This option will open the “Run Experiment” window which is used to load, configure, save and run
experiments. The following controls are on this form:
• Filename: displays the path and filename of a loaded or saved experiment or the currently running
experiment session.
• Manual tab: see section “7.0.0 Manual Tab”.
• Profile Mode tab: see section “7.0.1 Profile Mode Tab”.
• Belt Status: displays the current status of “TREADMILL BELT” toggle during an experiment:
“Idle” indicates the toggle is set to “STOP”.
“Running” indicates the toggle is set to “RUN”.
“Accel” indicates the toggle is set to “ACCEL”.
• Spd(m/m): reports the current speed of the treadmill belt.
• Dist Tr (m): reports the total distance the treadmill belt has moved.
• Belt Angle: reports the current angle of inclination.
• Status C1 … C8: reports the status of the shock for each channel or lane:
Active: The shock is on. The grids are active and monitored for shocks received.
Idle: The shock is off. A limit has been reached, either number of visits or shocks.
No Shock: The shock is temporarily off for the current step in Profile Mode.
• Interval Data Grid:
o Int: reports the interval.
o CH: reports the channel (1 to 8).
o Time: the time-stamp when the data was collected. 24-hour format.
o Speed (m/m): the speed of the treadmill belt in meters/minute.
o Distance (m): the total distance the treadmill belt has moved in meters.
o Belt Angle: the current incline of the belt in degrees.
o TOB (min): Time On Belt. The minimum accumulated measurement of time when the shock
is “Active” and the animal is not detected on the grid.
o NOS: Number Of Shocks. the total number of shocks received.
o NOV: Number of Visits. the number of visits to the grids when one or more shocks were
received.
o Status: without Shock Detection reports: “Disabled” if the “Shock Rep_Rate” is set to “Off”.
Else it reports “Enabled” when set to “1Hz”, “2Hz”
or “3Hz”.
with Shock Detection reports: “Idle” when the limits of the NOS or NOV has been
reached. Else it reports “Run”.
• Load : used to load the settings of a previously saved or run experiment.
• Save : used to save the current experiment settings as a template for future experiments.
• Start : used to begin an experiment session.
• Stop : used to terminate an experiment session.
• Quit : used to close the experiment window and return to the main window.
