Disk Error Message
If a disk error message occurs at step 5, check the following:
Is the diskette the proper capacity and format? See step 4.
Is the diskette full or faulty? Try a new diskette.
Is the diskette write protected? Check the write-protect switch on the
back of the diskette.
Is the programmer in the process of printing? Selecting [
OK
] in this case
may result in an error message. Wait until printing has stopped.
File Format
When you select the [
OK
] button, all available text reports from the last
patient session are saved to a file on the diskette in ASCII format. Included
in the file are all the character spacing, line feeds, and form feeds required
to print the saved reports in the same format used by the programmer. An
ASCII “Control-Z” code will mark the end of the file.
The report file will include a header page showing the patient ID, file
format type (which will always be “1” until other formats become avail-
able), and the pacemaker model number.
The saved file can be printed from an IBM-compatible computer using the
MS-DOS or PC-DOS PRINT command, or the file can be imported into a
word processing or data base program as an ASCII or DOS text file.
Using the Auto Prompt Feature
The “Auto Prompt” options (OFF and ON) displayed in the Data Transfer
to Disk window allow you to choose whether or not you want this window
to appear automatically when you end a patient session.
If you want the window to appear automatically as a reminder to save
the session data, select the Auto Prompt [
ON
] button.
If you do not want the window to appear automatically, select the Auto
Prompt [
OFF
] button.
