Connect the mini-USB port to a PC for downloading trend data. Any PC con-
nected to the data port must be certified according to IEC Standard 60950. All
combinations of equipment must be in compliance with IEC Standard 60601-
1-1 system requirements. Use either ASCII communication protocol.

The COM port on the side of the monitoring system provides access to collect-
ed trend data. Data transfer relies on existing communication software drivers
for USB-based devices already on the computer, so should not require any
modification of the drivers used by the USB interface. If, for some reason, the
computer does not have the correct USB driver, use the device driver provided
on the product CD or from Technical Services. Reference
