Noninvasive Blood Pressure Monitoring System 

After setting the Date/Time Properties, click “OK” at the top right of the window to accept the new settings. To 

discard settings without saving changes, click the “X” button. 
The “Pulse gain” and the “Cut Off Pressure” are adjusted by moving the sliders left or right. Click OK to accept 

any modified settings. Click Cancel to discard. 

2.5.2. Options 

Use the Options Tab (see Figure 9) to adjust the triggering parameters. If an external trigger to be used to initiate 

the start of a measurement, enable the “Trigger Input active” option. 

 

Figure 9: Options Tab Settings 

If “Auto Save after trigger” is enabled, the device will automatically save the last measurement. 

2.5.3. Calibration 

In the Calibration Tab (see Figure 10)  the pressure sensor calibration can be checked and recalibrated if 

necessary.  

 

Figure 10: Calibration Tab Settings 

The Calibration Tab displays the raw sensor values for two calibration points at 0 mmHg and 100 mmHg, current 

pressure and raw signal values, and the calibration line formula.  
The “Cal 1” and “Cal 2” buttons are used for measuring and setting the raw signal values for each calibration 

point. Pressing the “Restore default calibration” button reverts the calibration setting to it’s factory default. 

2.6. Results List 

The Results List window (see Figure 11) lists the previously saved measurements. For each measurement, the 

Result Number, Systolic, Diastolic, Mean pressures, heart rate, description and save date/time are displayed. 
Measurements that do not return any results are identified by a value of -1.0.
