Data Transfer Module
10-6 Data Transfer
Data Transfer
The order in which the parameters are listed on the display is relative to
the destination monitor, not the originating monitor.
Patient demographics have the highest priority in the order of data being
transferred. The aperiodic parameters are transferred next, before
continuously monitored parameters, for each hour. During a transfer to
the monitor, aperiodic data obtained by the receiving monitor after the
start of the transfer will have higher priority than the aperiodic data
from the module.
Note—If the module is unplugged before a transfer is complete, some
data may not be transferred.
With the exception of gas parameters, if a parameter has different units
at the source and destination monitors, the data from the source will be
converted to the units of the destination.
For gas parameters, there is no unit conversion between volume% and
pressure (mmHg/kPa), and vice versa. To transfer gas parameters using
a Data Transfer Module, the gas units at the source monitor must match
the default units at the destination monitor. So, for example, if the CO
2
units are configured for volume% at the source and for mmHg at the
destination, ETCO
2
and IMCO
2
values will not be transferred.
If the monitor is put in Monitor Standby during a transfer, all processing
in the monitor will stop, but the transfer will continue until it has
completed, or the module is unplugged. The module keys will be
disabled in Monitor Standby. When the monitor comes out of standby,
regular updates to the module will continue at a rate of once per minute.
Transfers can occur in both Monitoring and Demo modes. Transfers
between modes can only be made from a module in Monitoring Mode to
a monitor in Demo mode.
Resampled and other manually entered data is annotated with an
asterisk (*) at the destination monitor only if both source and
destination monitors have software for Release F or higher (CMS) or
Release A.0 or higher (V24 and V26).
