Serial Output
The 920M PLUS provides real-time data output capability via the pulse
oximeter sensor connector (a 9-pin Sub-D connector). The pulse oximeter
sensor connector pin assignments are listed below.
The information from the 920M PLUS in the real-time mode is sent in an
ASCII serial format at 9600 baud with 9 data bits, 1 start bit, and 1 stop bit.
The data are output at a rate of once per second.
Real-time data may be printed or displayed by devices other than the pulse
oximeter. On power up a header is sent identifying the format and the time
and date. Thereafter, the data are sent once per second by the 920M PLUS in
the following format:
SPO2=XXX HR=YYY
where “XXX” represents the SpO
2
value and “YYY” represents the pulse
rate. The SpO
2
and pulse rate will be displayed as “---” if there are no data
available for the data reading.
Memory
The 920M PLUS can collect and store up to 72 hours of SpO
2
and pulse rate
information. Data retrieval software is available for use with Microsoft
®
Windows
®
95/98/00 operating systems. Contact your distributor or
Respironics for options.
The memory in the 920M PLUS functions much like an “endless loop” tape.
When the memory fills up, the unit begins overwriting the oldest data with
the new data.
