Connecting to a serial port
Serial ports are the sockets on the back of your computer where devices such
as the MHM 100 can be attached. As there may be more than one, your
computer must be ‘told’ which one the MHM 100 is plugged into before it will
receive information from it.
To select the serial port:
1. Plug the MHM 100 into a serial port on the computer using the cable
provided ensuring that the guide on the cable aligns with the groove at
12 o’clock on the monitor socket. Do not twist the connector into the
socket
2. The Wizard should start automatically, if it doesn’t, you can start it
manually as follows
3. Go to the Start menu and click Programs
4. Click Medick then Medick Explorer
5. Click Tools then Options
6. Click Setup. This will start the installation ‘Wizard’
7. After a few seconds, you should see MHM 100 Detected message in
the bar at the top of your Medick Explorer page
8. If the message MHM 100 Not Detected appears, repeat the process
9. You will not need to reselect the serial port every time the software is
used.
Checking if Medick Explorer is operating properly
1. Open Medick Explorer and click File from the toolbar at the top of the
screen
2. Click Collect New Report from the drop down menu (or click the
relevant button on the toolbar)
3. As there is no report to collect, a ‘No Report Available’ message will
appear
4. Click OK as this shows that Medick Explorer is working properly
For instructions on how to use Medick Explorer to collect, see
‘Transferring the ECG results’ section
