M3016A Measurement Server Extension Theory of Operation
The application-specific software for the second pressure/temp and CO2 runs on the main
CPU in the Measurement Server (see “Measurement Server Theory of Operation” on page
1-21). The pressure/temperature and the CO
2
frontends communicate the pre-processed
physiological data via the Frontend Link Protocol to the application-specific software on the
main CPU of the Measurement Server.
The Temp/Press features available on the Extension are identical to those available on the
Server. The Temp/Press selections specific to the Extension are T2 and P2.
If you press the Zero key on the Server all invasive pressure channels in use are zeroed. To set
independent zero and labels for P2, however, use the softkeys on the Monitor.
If two temperatures are measured (one with the Server and one with the Extension), the
differential temperature (Delta Temp) is calculated by the Server.
For more information on the Temperature and Invasive Blood Pressure (Temp/Press)
measurement see the section earlier in this chapter.
