and releases it.
TS means TEST and refers to the number
of tests to be performed.
The Test is counted from 0 to 9.
S means SPEED and refers the calculated
speed of the distance over �me.

Starting a test.
a.
b.
The time starts when the subject holds the (precision switch on slide) without releasing it, this means
that it is ready to move it and perform the test. The point where it starts will be taken by the system as
the zero point (0) and the movement made from this point will be the one taken by the test.
SELECTING TEST
A total of 10 tests (trials) can be selected using
the “UP” and “DOWN” keys.
Selected test will be presented now

You will see a blue light while the
(precision switch on slide) is being
sustained.
Time will start counting. Movement can be observed in real
time, The values of movement can be positive or negative
depending on where the zero point has been positioned (0)
with regard to the location of the (precision switch on
slide) on the equipment.

PROCEDURE
SELECTING TEST WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A
TEST ENDS?
TIME (T) will stop and the data will be saved
to the selected memory.
You can try the test again in the selected space
or choose another test space to make the test.
Finish a test.
When the subject releases the
(precision switch on slide) the system
stops the test and you can see the results
on the control.
You can see the final distance and the final
time. You can also see the calculated speed.
After these steps you will be able to start a new test,
repeat the current test or finish the experiment.
Use a spreadsheet on your computer or a sheet
of paper and write down the results obtained in
the test.
You can also make use of the software that will allow you to
perform this process automatically and export the results to
a spreadsheet.
You can select another test within ten (10)
possible and perform new tests. These will
be stored in each one of the test in the
memory until the computer turns off.
You can reuse a test with saved result and
do a new test on it; This will delete the
results of the selected test.
For that reason it is recommended to write
the results to a sheet of paper or a spreads-
heet.
