Hi!

I have a question about the full version.

Is it possible to change the starting speed (e.g. to 4 km/h)? I also would like to accelerate every minute with 1 km / h. The time should by 1 Minute / Stage; Is there a possibility to set a little break (eg. 1 second) after every turn – I want to test wheelchair athletes and i would like to add a „turning time“.

Are this changes possible at the full version (starting speed, acceleration)?? „Break time“ would be good, but is not really required. I found some datas that version 2.6 can make this changes, but at the shareware version, I didn´t found these possibilities.

I would be very happy to get the answer soon, because I have to test the athletes at next possible time and your programme seems to be the only one fitting. If the programme has these possibilities, i will buy it emediatly!!!

Please excuse my bad english!

Otherwise I want to congratulate on this cool programme.

Yours,

Morris

Hi Morris,
Yes, the running speeds on all stages can be changed on the full version of the software, these new run speeds can be set in the script file for your fitness test. The acceleration is the change in running speed every minute, so you have full control over the changes in running speed or stage accelerations.

The short rest to allow for wheelchair turning time is possible, however with very short rest times you might want to re-record the EnterRestAngela2.wav to 'Turn' and the ExitRestAngela.wav to just another beep ... copy the whole beeptest directory and rename as 'wheelchair beeptest' and make the changes, in this way you can keep the original beeptest configuration for other types of test - Normal beep test /bleep test & YoYo types etc.)

Hi James!

I have a problem in re-programming the Beeptest.

I bought the full version. But I can´t make the changes on the desktop. I tried to change parameters in my own script, but i doesn´t work right. My test has to start with 4 km/h and every minute accelerate with 1 km/h. But i found out that the starting speed is 8 km/h (stage1) - how can I
change that (faster is no problem, but slower?)?

Please help me to develop this test. It is very important for my
masterthesis. And I have to start with the testing now.

Do you have the "TBHelp.HLP" for me? In my version, when I go to "Help" - "Contents" - a error message appears where it says that this file couldn´t be found by my computer. It was not in the Zip-Folder with the full program. So I can´t view the Help Files. Is there a online Help? I looked, but I
coudn´t found one.

Best regards,

Morris

Hi Paul,
Have a look at the example script below, you will see it sets the stage1 speed to 4km/h and with your increase in speed at stage 2. Add the others as per your requirements, set the stage1laps to get close to one minute per stage.

Please call or email again if you get any problems with the above or other questions.
cheers
Ian
