Overview of Advanced Programming

You have the option to manually specify your StepWatch settings using the Advanced Programming mode. This can be accessed through the Utilities portion of the monitor menu.

Advanced Programming should only be used if you are experienced with the StepWatch. This mode gives you direct access to the many StepWatch settings and allows you to customize its response for unusual subjects or applications in ways not permitted by the regular Start mode. If you use the Advanced Mode without understanding the controls, you can program the StepWatch to behave in ways you did not intend. This will not hurt the StepWatch, but could reduce the quality of your data.

When you launch Advanced Programming, the settings currently stored in the StepWatch memory will be read and displayed. You may alter any of these settings within limits. If you are unsure whether your choices are appropriate, you can click the "Reset to Defaults" button to return the settings to their default state. No matter how you change the settings in the Advanced Mode, if you return to the regular Start mode, the settings will revert to the default settings/ranges for all parameters. When you are satisfied with your settings, click the Start button to initiate programming.

Hint: The Sensitivity setting is based on the individual calibration value for each StepWatch. The same settings will have different effects on the performance of different monitors. The specific values of all other Advanced Programming settings give consistent results between monitors.
