1.5 Theory of Operation
The Panorama Central Station is a 16-patient channel, medical monitoring system. The
station’s design and monitor are based on an ATX computer architecture. Basic system data
processing configuration includes an ATX computer, a CRT display with Touch Screen, and
an Ethernet distribution system.
CAUTION: Software is written directly to some of the PC boards within
the tower. Replacement of the PC boards with off-the-shelf
PC boards may compromise the proper operation of the
Central Station.
1.5.1 Panorama Central Station and Wireless Telemetry Server
Each of the Panorama Central Station’s hardware/software items (e.g., hard drives, controls,
etc.,) are identified and detailed below. Functionality and connectivity for each component
and/or peripheral is mentioned where appropriate. Specified for each is its contribution(s) to
either the overall Panorama Patient Monitoring Network and/or to data management
operations designated by system architecture for the Central Station module.
Cases are the same for the Central Station and the Telemetry Server with the exception of the
network connections. These connections are labeled specifically for telemetry, patient, and
central networks.
Software versions 6.X and 7.X are only compatible with the tower case or 4U case.
Software versions 8.X and above are only compatible with the 2U case.
