Patient Data Logger
Overview
The Patient Data Logger option automatically sends patient vital signs from the
monitor to an external device, such as a printer or a terminal. Episodic patient
data is also sampled and transmitted. The output is in the form of ASCII text byte
strings, and is printed using standard RS232 serial communications via the
monitor’s serial port. Refer to the Display Detail on page 29-5 for further
information.
This option continues to send data whether the external device is on-line or off-
line. Data transmission can be stopped by reassigning the data port or disabling
the Patient Data Logger.
Your system administrator (or other designated personnel) must first set up
communication between the monitor and the external device by assigning the
serial port to Patient Data Logger, and then adjusting the serial port settings. The
various serial settings can be adjusted to suit the device attached to the serial
port. Refer to the appropriate service manual for more details.
