4.5.6 Max_NOS
Maximum Number of Stimuli: For humane reasons, the presentation of the stimulus can be stopped when the
subject has received a set number of stimuli. The range is from 0 to 999. When set to zero, the presentation
will not stop, and the total number of stimuli received will be recorded.
4.5.7 Max_NOC
Maximum Number of Complete Exhaustions: The presentation of stimulus can be stopped when any visit to
the detection grids is greater than or equal to the specified period in seconds. The period can range from 1 to
180 seconds, five is typical. As the subject can reach complete exhaustion only once, the range is either 0 or 1.
When set to 0, the presentation of the stimulus will not stop and the count of visits greater than or equal to
the set period will be recorded.
4.5.8 Max_NOM
Maximum Number of Measured Exhaustions: The presentation of stimulus can be stopped when the set
number of visits to the detection grids with a duration greater than or equal to the specified period in seconds
has been met. The period can range from 1 to 180 seconds, two is typical. The number range is from 0 to 99,
three is typical. When set to 0, the presentation of stimulus will not stop and the count of visits greater than or
equal to the set period will be recorded.
4.5.9 TS_Percent
Time-Score Percent: The presentation of stimulus can be stopped when exhaustion has been detected by
measuring the percentage of time the subject receives stimulus over a specified rolling period in seconds. The
period can range from 1 to 180 seconds. The percentage range is from 0 to 99%, 50% is typical. When set to
zero, the presentation of stimulus will not stop, and the current time-score percentage will be recorded.
4.5.10 VS_Visits
Visit-Score Visits: The presentation of stimulus can be stopped when exhaustion has been detected by
measuring the number of visits to the detection grids over a specified rolling period in seconds, The period can
range from 1 to 180 seconds. The number range is from 0 to 99. Practically the number of visits is limited by
the equation: VS_Visits = Period*Rep_Rate/2. However, no checks or corrections are made if the equation is
not true. When set to zero or if the noted equation is not true, the presentation of stimulus will not stop and
the current number of visits within the specified period will be recorded.
4.5.11 Rep_Rate
This parameter is non-editable. It is used to inspect and verify the REP RATE of the Treadmill Controller which
is automatically detected and displayed in real time: [0, 1, 2, 3]Hz. If zero, check the cable connections of the
system. The REP RATE indicator on the Treadmill Controller and any enabled treadmill lanes should flash in
unison.
4.5.12 Begin Experiment
Once all the previous parameters have been set, now is the time to load the subjects into the treadmill lanes.
•
Press the RESET button on the Treadmill Stimulus Detection to begin monitoring the stimulus on all
enabled channels.
