Parameter Settings Transfer
Parameter modules which are labeled on the front with a small “T” in the
upper right hand corner can be transported from one rack to another (or
from one Philips system to another) and still keep their parameter
settings.
Note—There are a few modules that may or may not be marked with a “T”
that DO transfer parameter settings. They are: M1006A, M1016A, M1006A-
#CO1, M1029A, M1006B, M1032A, M1012A, M1012A #C10, M1034A. Any
other module without a “T” does not transfer parameter settings.
The settings (such as alarm limits) are stored inside the module. You
could even unplug a satellite rack full of these modules from one monitor,
and plug it into another monitor without losing the parameter settings.
This behavior permits fast and easy transport, and is called “Parameter
Settings Transfer”.
Note—The settings that are stored in each module are detailed in the
relevant module chapters of this guide.
For Parameter Settings Transfer to work on your monitor, it must be set
ON in a special Service Mode, either by your biomedical engineering
department or the Philips service engineer.
After making changes to parameter settings, wait about 10 seconds until
the new settings are stored in the relevant module before removing the
module.
After plugging in a module, wait about 10 seconds to let the monitor read
the settings before opening the Task Window.
After switching on the system or going into Monitor mode from Config
mode, the first 30 seconds are used to store settings from the system to
the modules. Modules plugged in after this initial 30 second period are
capable of keeping their settings.
You can change parameter settings either:
