The client should be instructed in the proper technique prior to starting the test. The instructions need to
emphasize that the client is required to work as quickly as possible. It is recommended that two rows of
the protocol be completed, prior to starting the actual test, to make sure that the instructions were
understood. Click Examiner Instructions to switch to Patient Instructions. Click on the speaker button to
have the instructions read aloud by the computer.
Click Start Test to start the test. Click Start Real Time Heart Rate to start recording the heart rate. Click
Capture to record the heart rate in the heart rate report. Click Close to return to the Work Sim menu
The FROM protocol, once started, will provide the evaluator with a counter to track the number of cycles
the client has completed. The counter can be activated by either clicking on the numbered radio button
(as shown below) or by right clicking the mouse anywhere on the page.
Click Pause if the client did not understand the instructions and
then Resume to continue with the test when ready.
