    In addition to automated control of operation, the vPad-XSC provides automatic Impulse 4000 assessment of measurement results based on user-defined limits This manual provides guidance for users integrating vPad-Check™ and vPad-XSC™ for Impulse 4000 into new and existing maintenance processes. 1.1 Standard Accessories...
  • Page 11: Checklists And Vpl

    Impulse 4000 USER MANUAL 1.3 Checklists and vPL Checklists In vPad-Check, equipment maintenance and inspection procedures are called . A Checklist can contain a sequence of prompts for the operator as well as machine instructions to configure the vPad safety analyzer and to conduct other tests through a remote instrument.
  • Page 12: Connection And Setup

    Connect the XBUS port on the Interface to the XBUS port on the vPad safety analyzer using the RJ12 cable (P/N 3140-069) provided with the Interface. Note that the two XBUS ports on the Interface are interchangeable. This enables several vPad-XSC interfaces of different types to be chained in series if necessary.

  • Page 14: Checklist Programming

    Impulse 4000 USER MANUAL 3 Checklist Programming A Checklist contains operator prompts and machine instructions for conducting an automated maintenance and inspection sequence. To create or edit a Checklist (with a .vpl extension), you may use any text editor that works with plain text (.txt) files, or use the Datrend API program vPad-IDE. Sample Checklists to control through the Interface are provided with the vPad-Check installation.
  • Page 15: Configuration

    Impulse 4000 USER MANUAL 3.2 Configuration As an optional function, the Interface has the ability to automatically assign a pass/fail result for measurement data obtained from . Configuration statements can set limits for automatic Impulse 4000 pass/fail assessment, as well as to change settings for defibrillator and pacemaker tests.
  • Page 16 Impulse 4000 USER MANUAL Table 1 lists the permitted values for the command. Additionally, any limit type can be set to “lim” “none”, which disables automatic assessment for the affected test types. If the Interface receives a limit configuration command with a disallowed limit type, that particular limit will be disabled.
