ANNEX C - Tap-Tst program
Tap_Tst program (RAM 800 series RS232 checker) contained in the CD ROM
of the treadmill’s accessories, may be used to verify the treadmill response to
speed and elevation commands coming from RS232 serial port.
To use the program first we need to connect the serial port of the treadmill to
the serial port of the personal computer through the connection cable RS232.
After the connection takes place, in order to verify conditions it is necessary to
run the setup.exe program from the CD ROM to install the software on a
personal computer (Windows O.S.).
In order to isolate any problem, you are advised to install the program on a
personal computer different from the one normally used to control the treadmill
and before sending commands to the treadmill you should be sure that the RS232
port of the computer is properly configured end correctly functioning.
The software installation will create an icon called Tap_Tst on the computer
desktop and double clicking this icon you will run Tap_Tst program.
Tap_Tst window will appear allowing the transmission of the commands to the
treadmill.
Obviously the commands can reach the treadmill if the serial port of the
computer and the serial port of the treadmill are connected by a RS232 cable.
On the menu bar of the Tap_Tst window there are two menus named File and
Settings and a command named About.
• The About command will display a Copyright message and the Number of
the Software release (for treadmills supporting the recognition of the
software release number and of the measurement system typology);
• The File menu contains the Exit command that stops the program
execution;
• The Settings menu always shows the COM Port menu, while the Mode
menu is displayed only if the treadmill supports the recognition of the
software release number and of the measurement system typology:
➢ Com Port allows the serial port selection: COM1 or COM2
➢ Mode allows to select how to display speed values: Kmh (Km/hour) or
Mph (Miles/hour). Naturally, when the Mode menu is displayed, the
measurement system effectively used (Kmh or Mph) depends only on
the treadmill Set-up and not on the menu Mode selection.
An elevation or speed command can be sent to the treadmill by clicking on the
vertical or on the horizontal bar. If you change the elevation or speed values
dragging the cursor of the bars, the command will be sent to the treadmill when
the mouse button will be released.
