erGometry
The ergometer is controlled by an internally stored proto‑
col.
Pressing the "Ergometry" key will display the test protocol
used last.
Press the "Start" key to re‑start the protocol, or press the
"Select" key to display the protocol parameters or to switch
to another test protocol.
There are ve xed protocols (protocols 1 ‑ 5, see
Appendix), whereas protocols 6 ‑ 15 are user‑program‑
mable.
With the arrow keys you can display the test protocol.
With "Select" you conrm the selection.
The selected exercise test is started with the "Start" key, a
blood pressure measurement at rest may precede the test
(see "Settings").
The display changes to the exercise test screen, where load
and heart rate are represented both by numeric values and
waveforms.
When the basic load appears on the display (after approx.
15 seconds or upon termination of the blood pressure
measurement) and the patient's RPM indicator blinks, the
patient should start pedalling.
The internal protocol will now control the entire exercise
test ‑ the display always indicates the current values.
