vPad-XSC for Impulse 4000 USER MANUAL
3.2.1.1 Example 1: Setting a Defibrillator Energy Limit
To illustrate how the “
lim
” command is used, consider following statement:
xctrl "Setting defib energy tol. to 10%" | lim1,target,10,percent
For this statement,
1
immediately following the “
lim
” command specifies the limit is for defib energy;
target
specifies the limit type as a target with tolerance, as opposed to a min/max range;
10
is the tolerance value (±10); and
percent
sets the tolerance type as a percentage, as opposed to a number of joules (
units
).
Note that this defib energy limit will be shared for all three defibrillator tests (defibrillator energy,
charge time, and sync delay). The "target" value referred to above is not included with the limit, but
is specified in the vPL statement that executes the energy measurement itself.
3.2.1.2 Example 2: Setting Defibrillator Charge Time Limit
In this next example, the vPL statement sets the defib charge time limit to a maximum of 12
seconds:
xctrl “Setting charge time limit to max. 12 sec" | lim2,max,12
For this statement,
2
immediately following the
“lim”
command specifies the limit is for charge time;
max
specifies limit type as maximum, the only allowable type for charge time,
12
is the maximum value (12 seconds)
In this case, the “
lim
” command does not include a
<param_2>
since it is not required.
Limits persist until modified by a
“xctrl”
statement. There is no need to set a defib energy limit
for a charge time test if it has previously been set for a debrillator energy test.
