HOW TO USE THE STEPPER Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it. The three graphs on the console show how the target pace will change during the pacer programs (see the drawing above). Each graph is divided into ten columns, and each column represents a two-minute time period. The bars in each column show what the target pace will be during that two-minute period. For example, in the first column of graph 2, there is one bar.
