6.1.1 Display BISx Connection History
This option displays information on each BISx that has been connected to a specific
monitor. The connection time, BISx serial number and BISx software revisions are
displayed.
6.1.2 Serial Protocol
Data may be transmitted from the serial port in two formats, ASCII (Legacy) and Binary
(Legacy Binary or VISTA Binary). Legacy versions are provided for customers whose
equipment was set up with older BIS monitor software (A-2000 serial protocol revision 1.08
or less). When using the ASCII protocol, new features can be enabled by a serial port
command.

2. Press the desired protocol. The protocol selected displays in yellow, indicating that it
is the active protocol until the next time the system is re-started.
3. To permanently save this change, press [Save Setting]. Note that this change will
apply to all modes. The protocol selected now displays in white.
4. Press [HOME] to exit.
