No. The multi-lane mouse treadmill does not count, display or record air puffs. This is how the treadmill is designed. It is not a fault, and it does not depend on which control box you use. A replacement control box works the same way.
Because air puffs are not counted, the Warn/Alert limit applies only to shocks:
- Air puff only: No stimulus count is kept, so the Warn/Alert limit does not stop a lane based on air puffs.
- Air puff and shock both on: Only shocks are counted and reported. When a lane reaches the shock limit, time and distance stop for that lane.
- Shock only: Shocks are counted, and the Warn/Alert limit works as expected.
Using the Warn/Alert limit
- Turn on the shock stimulus for the lanes you want to limit.
- Set the Warn/Alert limit to the number of shocks you want to allow.
- Start the run.
- Watch the shock count for each lane. When a lane reaches the limit, its time and distance stop.
If your protocol needs a per-lane air puff count, record air puffs by another method during the session. The treadmill will not include them in its data.
