Monitor is a Mac program which will download a digital signal from the RS232 ports commonly found on modern patient care monitors, syringe pumps and related devices.
Output is displayed both in digital and high-resolution colour trend form.
There is an inbuilt event marker system, which allows you to add events to the record, either afterwards or as you are recording. Monitor is being developed by Dr. James Derrick from the Departme n t of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care , Prince of Wales Hospital, Chinese University of Hong Kong . Numeric values to the right are updated every 5 seconds or so while the case is running, and at the same time new trend data is entered at the right of the trend display area, and the whole trend display scrolls one pixel to the left. I would suggest that you use a machine running at least 20MHz, as some medical devices send out large volumes of data. You must have the 'serial tool' extension in your extensions folder.
