9.9. Quantum Amplifier System Communication Mode
The following section describes how the
Quantum amplifier system is connected.
When the base unit is physically
connected to the breakout box with the
patient tether cable, the Quantum is
referred to as being in Physical
Connection Mode. In this mode, the
data is transmitted over the wired
connection to the base unit, which then
transmits the data to the computer.
The computer software will display and
store this data (see Figure 1).
