Data Part Protocol
Note: Selections for Agilent, SpaceLabs, GE Marquette, and
Datex are included in N-395 software versioiis 1.7 and
higher.
The protocol settings allow the N-395 to communicate with
various devices. ASCII is used during normal operation and for
serial printers. GRAPH is used for graphical trend printouts
when connected to a serial printer that supports Epson ESC
protocol. Select OXWET when connecting to an Oxineta II
central station network or Score software. The Bedside Monitor
Interface selections are AGILENT (for Agilent HP monitors),
SPACELBS (for SpaceLab monitors), MARQ (for Marquette
monitors), and DATEX (for Datex-Ohineda AS/3 monitors). Do
not use the CLINICAL setting unless instructed to do so by
Mallinckrodt's Technical Services personnel.
REAL-TIME DISPLAY FORMAT
While the N-395 data port protocol setting is set to ASCII (refer
to Start-Up and Use section), real-time data is continuously sent
to the data port on the back of the N-395. Patient data can be
obtained through the data port by doiinecting it to an attached PC
or serial printer. When a real-time printout or display is being
transmitted to a printer or PC, a new line of data is displayed
every 4 seconds. Column headings will be displayed or printed
after every 25 lines, or if one of the values in the column heading
changes.
Note: If the data output stops transmitting, turn the power off
and back on again or, if connected to a PC, send an XON
(Ctrl-q) to reset the monitor.
An example of a real-time printout is shown in Figure 23.
