No communication errors?
If there are no communications errors, you have established
communications with the VitalSense Monitor. Proceed to “ Monitor
Setup for Data Collection ” on page3-8.
Typical communication errors
You may receive one of two communication errors. This is not unusual.
The most likely reasons for communication errors are:
• COM port 1 is being used by other hardware, e.g., printer, scanner.
• VitalSense defaults to COM port 1. The serial COM port cable is
plugged into another port other than COM port 1.
Proceed to “ COM Port Setup ” on page3-7.
