Full and Conditional Full Formats
These formats are designed for ASCII printer or CRT display
output. There are two format variations chosen by switch
section 2 (see Table 1).
• If switch section 2 is in the DOWN position (Full format),
the once-a-minute RATE/SAT/PULSE line is displayed
regardless of alarm conditions.
• If switch section 2 is in the UP position (Conditional Full
format), MONITOR STATUS, ALARM ACTIVE, and
LIMITS are displayed immediately upon any change in
monitor status, limit settings, or alarms.
Note:
In Full format the following lines appear once a minute:
HH:MM:SS: MONITOR: RATE = nnn %O2 SAT= nnn PULSE
AMPL. %FS = nnn
or
HH:MM:SS: MONITOR: NO PULSE DATA
HH:MM:SS is the time set on the N-200's internal clock and
%FS is the pulse amplitude expressed as a percentage of full
scale.
In Conditional Full format, if alarm status, monitor status, or
limits change, one of the preceding lines appears again with
the following message, preceded by an asterisk to identify
which variable has changed:
50
Once monitor status has been displayed because
of a change in limits or because of an alarm, the
RATE/SAT/PULSE line returns to once-a-minute
output.
