5.5.3.2. Using a Terminal Emulation Program to Transmit Case Data to a Computer
The following procedure presents general steps for transmitting case data to a computer
using a terminal emulation program and a null modem cable. Steps will vary among
programs. Refer to the terminal emulation program’s instructions for specific steps.
To use a terminal emulation program to transmit data:
1. Connect the null modem cable to the serial port on the monitoring system docking
station (Figure 67, page 79) and to a COM port on the computer.
2. Power on the monitoring system and set the serial port protocol to PC LINK 1 or PC
LINK 2, as described in the monitoring system's service manual.
3. Set up the terminal emulation program (one-time set-up):
a. Power on the computer.
b. Open the terminal emulation program.
c. Set the inputs for the COM port:
•
Bits per second: 9600 baud
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control: hardware
4. Begin a case as described in Set Up for Patient Monitoring, page 42.
5. When you are ready to transmit data from the monitoring system, open the
terminal emulation program.
6. In the terminal emulation program, begin the transfer and text capture. Specify a
file name and directory to save the file.
7. When monitoring is complete, end the transfer, disconnect, and close the terminal
emulation program.
5.6. Data Formats
5.6.1. Case Histories Downloaded via USB
Downloaded case history data can be accessed and graphed on a computer using a
commercial spreadsheet program.
5.6.1.1. File Name - Case History Downloads
Case histories downloaded to a USB flash drive are stored in individual files named as
follows (if not assigned a custom name):
CaseID
__
MonitorSerialNumber
.H3
CaseID
is the date and time the case started (YYYYMMDD_HHMM in 24-hour format). For
example, 20171023_0841.
