2 Understanding Configuration
10
WARNING
• Some of the configurable software elements are not available in an Avalon fetal monitor. However,
in the IntelliVue Support Tool's Configuration Editor they might be visible.
• In order to keep the monitor working properly, you must not modify any of the following
elements:
– Profile and Profile's name
–Patient Category
– Paced Mode
– Screens
– Measurement Settings block's name
– Monitor Settings block's name
Display Screens
A Screen defines the overall selection, size, and position of measurement waves, numerics and
SmartKeys on the monitor display.
In Avalon fetal monitors, the Screens are automatically assigned depending on the measurements that
are connected to the fetal monitor.
Measurement Settings
Measurement Settings are specific to each measurement, for example alarm limits, measurement color,
or measurement unit. For a complete list of measurement settings, see “Measurement Settings” on
page 23.
Monitor Settings
Monitor Settings define general aspects of how the monitor works, and include settings that affect
more than one measurement, such as alarm volume, report settings, or display brightness. In the
Support Tool the Monitor Settings are split into Normal and Unique Monitor Settings.
For a complete list of all Monitor Settings, see “Monitor Settings” on page 47.
Global Settings
Global Settings are typically set once at monitor installation by service personnel, and include settings
such as
Line Frequency. They can be changed in Configuration Mode only and are automatically stored
in the monitor’s configuration with each change. Global Settings can be cloned from a monitor's
configuration (cfg.) file.
For a complete list of Global Settings, see “Global Settings” on page 85.
Hardware Settings
Most Hardware Settings can only be changed in Service Mode. They are typically set once at monitor
installation by service personnel, and include settings, such as the
IP Address setting. Any changes you
make to the Hardware Settings configuration are automatically stored. There is no need to save them
in an extra step. Most Hardware Settings cannot be cloned from a monitor's configuration file (*.cfg),
an exception would be the OBR Settings, see “Configuring OBR (OB Radio) Settings” on page 100.
