Step 4: Start Test Mode

Click Start button, the system will be in the test mode and the button shows Finish. Once the animal is put on a lane of the bar (say #1), the Start field will record the start time, and the Stay(s) will be updating per second. When the animal is off the bar, the End field will record the end time and Stay(s) stop updating.

Step 5: Complete and Save Trial

When this trial is complete, click Finish button and the data is saved. A hundred datasets can be saved. However, we suggest users to export datasets frequently.

Note: Since each lane data is recorded separately, the Clear button allows the user to restart the recording for a lane. Until the user is satisfied with the trial for all lanes, the user can finish the trial.

Click on the dataset, the detail of the dataset is displayed:
