color. All O M sensors contain a memory chip carrying
XI AX
information about the O
for correct operation, including the O
data, model type, troubleshooting codes, and error detection
data. This unique oximetry architecture enables development of
new sensors as well as several new features with the O
sensor N-600x.
When an O M sensor is connected to the N-600x, the pulse
