Data transfer
The recorder transfers data to a printer or computer using the RS-232C terminal.
We recommend analysis of the data using the optional analysis software.
Caution
Cover the RS-232C terminal using the cap, to prevent dust and foreign
materials from entering when this terminal is not in use.
Remove the recorder and cuff from the patient, when the recorder is connected
to a printer or computer.
The personal computer must comply with EN60601-1.
Data Transmission to a Printer
Caution
The recorder intensely consumes the battery power while connected to the
RS-232C cable. Disconnect the cable when not actually transferring data.
Maintain the power-on state while transmitting the data so that the data is not
damaged.
The optional RS-232C cable is required when connecting to a printer.
The printer (to print the data) must have a serial interface and adapt to the
RS-232C protocol of the recorder.
The printer must comply with EN60601-1.
