Abstract:
1. A transmission error logging device that logs transmission errors occurring on a high-speed transmission route of a medical technology diagnostic apparatus, said transmission error logging device comprising: an infeed port configured to communicate with a medical sensor to receive an unpatterned sensor data signal, having no known pattern of data therein, from said medical sensor via the high-speed transmission route of the medical technology diagnostic apparatus that includes the medical sensor; a transmission error detector that processes said sensor data signal to generate an error signal upon detection of an each error in said sensor data signal; a memory connected to the transmission error detector that stores each error code upon detection of each error by said transmission error detector; a transmission volume counter that counts a transmission volume in said data signal supplied to said infeed port, said transmission volume being represented by a transmission volume count; a transmission error counter that counts a number of errors detected by said transmission error detector, said number being represented as a transmission error count; said transmission volume counter making said transmission volume count accessible as an output from said transmission volume counter; and a processor having access to said memory, said processor being configured to perform a statistical analysis of the errors stored in said memory.
