Identify Trends
Each device that is used with RCS has an associated log file. The log file contains all of the information presented on
the scrolling application window that is populated during testing and calibration.
Confirm Regulated O2 Supply
Inspection of the “TCE_Study” file “O2_Kickstart_Calibration_O2Valve” provides detailed information about the gas
supply used with the device during calibration. The file contains columns for the Device flow, TSI flow, Duty Cycle,
Current, and Supply pressure. During the test, the device should be capable of reaching peak flow rates of
approximately 103 LPM. The supply pressure should be maintained within 10-15 psig of the starting pressure. Issues
with either of these may indicate problems with the Oxygen supply (restricted flow) or regulator (slow response).
Forensic Memory - Erase
Prior to releasing the device for field use, it is recommended to erase the forensic memory. This may be performed
with RCS prior to performing “Final Config”. It is recommended to perform a complete power cycle of the device
after erasing the forensic memory to reset the device. Failure to power cycle the device may cause unsuccessful
programming of the EMV when proceeding to “Final Config”.
RCS Software 8.XXX
Folder Name Description
RCS Application Logs:
Documents\ZOLL\RCS_Aplicatio
n_Logs
Contains detailed log of transactions between the application and the
device. Record of commands sent and received. Typically used to diagnose
issues with PC or drivers.
RCS Study:
Documents\ZOLL\RCS_Study\Ve
ntilator\ServiceActions
Contains .cvs files for each discrete test. Tests typically have 2 files
associated with them, a “VV” and a “DB” file. The “VV” file is a condensed,
more readable format. The “DB” file, while less readable contains
information in a database format. Typically, “VV” files are used to assess the
calibration applied to the device and assist in understanding device/Test
station behavior
