Restart data output from the EC-1500. Makes the EC-1500 buzzer beep for 1 second. If the EC- 1500 receives this signal again while the buzzer is still beeping, another beep will immediately be heard for 1 more second. 2-4) Considerations on data transfer 2-4-a) Use of BASIC is convenient Although the EC-1500 can interpret software of any language, its serial to control from external... -
Page 10: 2-4-D) Changing Exercise Conditions
2-4-d) Changing exercise conditions To set the age to 30, send the code "A 30 CR", as shown below. TX$ = "A30" PRINT#1,TX$ In the same way, other exercise conditions can be changed. CAUTION: Some computers will express TX$ as "Asp30" when "AGE=30 : TX$="A"... -
Page 11: 2-4-G) Changing Exercise Conditions During Training
2-4-g) Changing exercise conditions Sending the code "i CR" ("d CR") while executing training program Auto, during training Isopower (constant power) or manual will increment (decrement) the pedal torque in 0.1 kg•m steps. Sending "I" + "set value" while isopower training changes sets the watt value. The effect of the value change can be verified by monitoring the watt value data included in the exercise status data sent from the EC-1500 every second. -
Page 12: Sample Program
[3] Sample program 3-1) Program that verifies connection to the EC-1500 (CHECK) The following simple program can check whether the EC-1500 is correctly connected or not. When data in the form of "A.." or "B.." appears on the screen of the computer's monitor, the EC-1500 is correctly connected. -
Page 13: 3-2) Program That Controls The Ec-1500 Externally (Test)
3-2) Program that controls the EC-1500 externally (TEST) This program allows to duplicate the buttons on the operation unit from the external computer for operating the EC- 1500. While the training takes place, it monitors LCD display data and graphs the changes in pulse rate. Display the EC-1500 program selection menu screen. - Page 14 RS232C Communication Kit...
- Page 15 Advance the program when the displayed exercise condition is suitable to apply. To change the displayed exercise condition, modify steps up to 1390. Start sending EC-1500 data. Start EC-1500 program and change the screen to in-training screen. Draw the pulse rate graph frame. Receive from the EC-1500 the in-training data and decode it.
- Page 16 With the EC-1500, exercise conditions (watt value and pedal torque) can be changed while in training. An example is shown below. When the training ends by pushing the operation button on the EC-1500, the personal computer also ends the current program. This status is checked twice.
- Page 17 If a meaningless figure is included in the exercise conditions, the program returns back to the step. This program increases (decreases) the torque by 0.5 kg•m at a time when the "+" (-) key is pressed. RS232C Communication Kit...
- Page 18 If the signal "a" does not appear, the program will not be allowed to go to the next step, because whether or not the EC-1500 responded correctly to the previous signal is unknown. Copyright © 1990 Cat eye Co., Ltd. Printed in Japan RSCME15-990731 RS232C Communication Kit...
