Analogue control
The workload of the Ergometer can be controlled
by external devices such as an analog ECG device
(must be between 2 and 4 volts to operate properly).
For settings, see the manual for the terminal and the
manual for the software.
Printer
A parallel interfaced printer may be attached to
provide written reports.
Start by connecting the printer to the parallel output
(1) located on the front of the bike. The terminal or
the computer attaches both via a serial cable to the
9-pin interface connector (5) located on the front of
the ergometer, see Fig: Connections.
If the external device is a desktop printer it must be
capable of emulating Epson alt. IBM Proprinter mode
to operate. Verify that the System set-up have been set
to enable automatic printout. If it has been disabled,
no output will reach the device until it has been
enabled. Also, the baud rate, 4800 baud, selected by
the interface cable must match that of the device.
Paper must be in the printer and the choice of units
must be made before the printer is in use (see user
manual for the printer).
The automatic printout length is a pre-set to eleven inch
pages for standard fanfold or zee-fold paper. At the
top of the each page, a header designating the columns
is printed. The time period between the printing of
each line may be set as desire, from 0 (continuous
output) to 255 seconds in one second increments.
The standard setting is 15 seconds between printouts.
This provides reasonable documentation while not
wasting large quantities of paper.
