5.3 Real-Time Patient Data Output<br />
The Avant <strong>9600</strong> provides real-time data output capability via the RS232 connector<br />
port. A null modem cable may be used to connect the Avant <strong>9600</strong> to the receiving<br />
computer.<br />
The information from the Avant <strong>9600</strong> in the real-time mode is sent in an ASCII<br />
serial format at <strong>9600</strong> baud with 8 data bits, 1 start bit, and 2 stop bits. Each line is<br />
terminated by CR/LF.<br />
Upon power up, a header is sent identifying the format and the time and date.<br />
Thereafter, the data are sent once per second by the Avant <strong>9600</strong> in one of the<br />
following formats:<br />
• If DIP switch 8 is in the UP position, the data will be displayed as follows:<br />
SPO2=XXX HR=YYY F<br />
where XXX and YYY are the fast-responding SpO 2 and pulse rate values.<br />
• If DIP switch 8 is in the DOWN position, the data will be displayed<br />
as follows:<br />
SPO2=XXX HR=YYY<br />
where XXX and YYY are the SpO 2 and pulse rate values as selected by<br />
DIP switch 2.<br />
