The various types of data that may be exported are listed below.
• Live Data: When this option is selected, live case data (BIS values, SQI, EMG and
unfiltered EEG waveforms) are exported. Live data files are named using the format
LMMDDHHMM, where ‘L’ stands for Live Data, MM is the two-digit month, DD
the two-digit day, HH is the two-digit hour and MM the two-digit minute that the
data were exported.
• History Data: When this option is selected, case data stored in the BISx are
exported. BIS values, SQI and EMG are reported at one-minute intervals. History
data files are named using the format HMMDDHHMM, where the initial ‘H’ stands
for History data, followed by the two-digit month, day, hour, and minute that the
data were exported.
• BISx Connection History: This option reports which BISx units were connected to
the monitor. The BISx serial number and the date and time of each connect and
disconnect are noted. Files are named using the format
nx_bisxcDDMMYYYYHHMMSS_SNxxxxxxx.log, where ‘nx_bisxc’ stands for
BISx Connection, followed by the two-digit day and month, four-digit year, and two-
digit hour, minute, and second that the data file was created and xxxxxxx is the
monitor serial number.
• Monitor Error Log: This option reports all system errors, including those related to
the monitor, BISx, PIC or sensor. Files are named using the format
nx_errorDDMMYYYYHHMMSS_SNxxxxxxx.log, where ‘nx_error’ indicates that
it is an error log, followed by the two-digit day and month, four-digit year, and two-
digit hour, minute, and second that the data file was created, and xxxxxxx is the
monitor serial number.
• Sensor Data: This option lists sensor information stored in the BISx. Files are
named using the format SDMMDDHHMM where ‘SD’ indicates Sensor Data,
followed by the two-digit month, day, hour and minute that the data were exported.
• Snapshot: This option sends the most recent snapshot data. Files are named using
the format SMMDDHHMM where ‘S’ stands for Snapshot, followed by the two-
digit month, day, hour and minute that the data were exported.
Information on the data file format may be obtained by contacting Aspect Technical Service.
(See back cover for contact information.)
BIS is not processed during History Data or Sensor Data Exports. For all other exports,
when a case is in process, the BIS number will continue to update and display during the
export process.
In order to export data, the system must be powered ON and the BISx must be connected
to the monitor. If the removable drive has a “write protect” switch, it must be set to the
“unlock” position. Plug the removable drive into the USB-A port on the back of the
monitor. To export data:
1. Press the [Export Data] touch key. The display shows the data types available for
export.
2. Press the desired data type, then press [Begin Export].
