Processing Unit/Polled Parameter Interconnection - GE Medical Systems Solar 9500 Service Manual

Processing Unit/Polled Parameter Interconnection

3-16
Installation: Processing Unit/Polled Parameter Interconnection
The optional polled parameter service allows access to patient parameter
data from the Solar 9500 to other data gathering devices. Only the polled
parameter service is available. Admit/discharge, time, software version,
and waveform services are NOT available via the serial interface.
Before connecting the data gathering device to the Solar 9500 processing
unit, you must first configure the serial channel of the processing unit
via the Serial Interface Controls in the Service Menu. Refer to chapter 4,
Serial Interface Controls for details.
The serial port of the Solar 9500 has a standard PC pinout and functions
as a DTE (see EIA-232-E and EIA/TIA-574 standards for further
information). The following table shows the pinout of the serial port on
the Solar 9500 processing unit.

To connect the Solar 9500 processing unit to a standard PC for data
gathering, a null modem cable with 9-pin female (socket) ends should be
used. The serial ports are not isolated on the Solar 9500 processing unit,
and, if required, an external isolation mechanism must be used.
