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 |

Character Code | Function |
A | Age (up to 2 digits) |
BPulse limit value (up to 3 digits)
CTarget time (up to 2 digits)
D | Weight (up to 3 digits) |
ESet torque x 10 (2 digits)
FExercise pattern (Hill Profile Training)
GSex (male: "1", female: "0")
HTarget pulse rate (up to 3 digits)
ISet wattage (up to 3 digits)
JExercise pattern (Interval Training)
KExercise program
1:Aerobic Power Measurement
2:Manual Training
3:Hill Profile Training
4:Interval Training
5:Isopower Training
6:Auto Training
LReset torque during exercise x 10 (2 digits)
2)During Exercise
By using the following character codes for button operation, you can externally control the program during exercise.
Example) Sending "i CR" during Manual Training
→ increases pedal resistance (torque) 0.1 kg·m
Character Code | Function |

g | ADV button |
i | + 1 button |
d | – 1 button |
