Accessed from parameters; basic operations 

•Sensor:  on    passive  off

Threshold:   amount of activity required to cause sensor activity

•Programmable: 1-7  (1= least activity required to generate sensor signal, 7= most activity)

•Auto: -0.5 – 2.0 (+0.0)  measures variation in the last 18 hours – (-ve less activity required/more sensitive)

Slope:    the sensor-driven pacing rate for a given level of activity (correlates to workload)

•Programmable: 1-16 (8)  (1= increases the rate less than a slope of 16)

•Auto  (auto +2)  based on recent levels of exercise – can be fine tuned -1.0 -  +3.0

​

Max Sensor Rate:

•100% max predicted HR = 220- age x 0.85-0.9 

​

Reaction Time: how quickly rate response is delivered

•fast, medium, slow   (younger athletic pts need fast compared to older sedentary pts)

​

Recovery Time: determines how quickly a sensor-driven rate goes back to the base rate

•fast, medium, slow, very slow
