and ventilator.
2. Connect the female end of the serial communications cable to the
service PC. Then connect the male end labeled Software/Rasp to the
ventilator.
3. If the software drivers for the communications software are not already
installed on the PC, the New Hardware Found Wizard appears when
the ventilator is powered on. Select “Install software automatically”
and click Next. Refer to Figure 6-1. If drivers are loaded proceed to
