6.2 Operating Modes
The ergoselect 1 ergometer supports the following operating
modes:
PC Mode
An external device (e.g. an ECG recorder, a PC‑based ECG
system) controls the ergometer – no intervention at all is
required at the ergometer.
Ergometry
The ergometer runs an automatic exercise test – some of
the corresponding test protocols are user‑configurable and
stored in the system.
(see chapter 10.2
Manual
The ergometer is controlled manually, i.e., the user performs
all load changes via the keypad.
Settings
Used to configure the ergometer.
6.3 Speed Readout
A speed readout as well as five LEDs at the top of the
control terminal inform the patient of the speed: too slow,
too fast or correct.
The ranges for the respective speed ratings depend on the
selected load (see “Note“ on page 24).

display.
