Measurement Server Theory of Operation
The Measurement Server is prepared with software divided into four major conceptual layers.
The Measurement Server software communicates with the Monitor via a normal local area
network (LAN) link. The four conceptual layers of the Server software are divided as
follows:
• 7KH)LUVW/D\HU—This consists of the operating system which passes messages between
the various major sections of the software. As well, the operating system performs system
initialization, background error checking, and checking while the software is running.
• 7KH6HFRQG/D\HU—This consists of the monitoring management system. This layer
includes the following software:
• Alarm software.
• Record software.
• Trend database software.
• Heart rate software.
• 7KH7KLUG/D\HU—This consists of the interface management and interface controllers.
This layer contains the date/time, and Server-to-Monitor link managers.
• 7KH)RXUWK/D\HU—This consists of the monitoring algorithms and software to acquire the
physiological signals.
