RS232C Communication Kit
2
Thank you for purchasing the RS232C Communication Kit Ergosiser EC-1500.
By connecting the EC-1500 and an external computer to this kit, the following
control and data transfers are possible using the directional communication
capability of the RS232C interface:
・
Controlling and carrying out the EC-1500 internal program from an
external computer.
・
Retrieving data (pulse rate, wattage, etc.) of the EC-1500 from an
external computer.
These features expand the application of the EC-1500 functions such as load
and sphygmomanometer. This means that by programming a particular
protocol on a personal computer, data (pulse rate, wattage, etc.) that the EC-
1500 has collected can be handled on a personal computer for further
processing and storage on a disk. Before using this communication kit,
thoroughly read the manual for better performance. Keep this manual and the
warrantee card as long as you use the kit.
