3-8 VitalSense Operation - Application Program
Monitor Setup for Data Collection
Setup for Data Collection from the VitalSense Application Program is
very similar to portions of “ VitalSense Monitor Operation ” on page2-1.
This section, however, contains instructions on additional functions, such
as retrieving data and real-time observation of data collection.
Before data collection can begin, the monitor must be set up, or
configured. This configuration can be done from the host PC through the
RS-232 port of the monitor.
There are three requirements that may have to be accomplished before the
monitor will collect data.
NOTE: The following are somewhat similar to the steps used when
configuring the monitor from the front panel (see “ Monitor Setup
for Data Collection ” on page2-4).
• “ Clear Memory ” on page3-10
• “ Setting the Monitor Clock ” on page3-9
• “ Subject Information ” on page3-11
Some or all of the items may not be necessary. If, for example, you have
configured the VitalSense Monitor previously, erased the memory, or if
you have already set the time.
These steps are generally in the same order in which the monitor should be
configured. Setup begins with the Main display, and the Setup menu.
