Section 1 - Monitor Description
The M3046A Patient Monitor is a small size, lightweight monitor with a TouchBar human
interface. The monitor has a color display with a wide viewing angle, and excellent visibility
from a distance, so that data can easily be recognized. For applications where a larger display
is required, an additional display can be connected to the monitor via the standard VGA
output.
Trend data, and manual and automatic event storage, together with a range of report styles are
available for tracking and documenting the patient’s progress.
The Monitor receives the processed data from the Measurement Server and the Measurement
Server Extension, examines it for alarm conditions, and displays it. The Monitor also
provides operating controls for the user, and interfaces to other devices.
