Treadmill Q&A

Control System

Q: Is the treadmill controlled by software on a PC, or via a touch screen that comes with the apparatus? (or both?)

A: The treadmill is controlled via a touch screen that comes with the apparatus.

Programming

Q: Can we program a specific session of treadmill in advance? (for instance to gradually increase speed every minute?)

A: Yes, the last program is saved as the default screen display.

Species Compatibility

Q: From what I have understood, the apparatus cannot be used for both mice and rats through a simple modification of the lanes?

A: The treadmill can be used for both mice and rats, but you would need to have two sets of covers and shock grids, one for mice and the other for rats.

Lane Configuration

Q: Is the number of lanes limited to 5 for both mice and rats?

A: By default, the treadmill is 5 lanes for mice or rats.

The 5 lanes mice can be used for 3 lanes of rats. The 5 lanes rats can be used for 8 lanes of mice.

Air Puff Option

Q: What is the price of the air puff option? Are the shock and air puff features interchangeable?

A: [Information not provided in source material]

Shipping

Q: If we were to order the treadmill from your company, what would be the shipping delay to France and cost?

A: About two weeks, depending on the options you choose.
