External computer control via an RS232C

terminal

If you connect the optional "RS232C Communication Kit," the Ergo- ciser™ can communicate with an external computer.

Specifically, you can write a program with an external computer in Basic or in another computer language, and operate the Ergociser™ EC-1600 according to the written procedure. Any instructions input by the buttons on the EC-1600 control unit can be input from the ex- ternal computer, and the EC-1600 sends data to an external computer every second. Since command signals are in ASCII character code, any computer that generates these codes can be used, receiving and transmitting via the RS232C terminal.

Contents of Data Transmission from the EC-1600

The EC-1600 outputs display data in character code, continuously when you set exercise conditions and once per second when you are exercising. Since the contents of the LCD differs according to setting exercise conditions and during exercise, the content of data output also differs.

Externally Controlling the EC-1600

1) During Setting Exercise Conditions

When exercise conditions are being set, you can send data in a "char- acter code + numeric code + CR code" format (shown in example below) from an external computer, setting your exercise conditions.

Example)

"K6CR" : Selects Auto Training
