The results will be sent to the RS232 and Centronics port. 

Note 

Connect the Simulator to any printer with a serial port or parallel 
Centronics port, or to any IBM-compatible PC, including laptops and 
notebooks. For information on how to connect to other systems or 
peripherals, see “Appendix A: Printing & Data Transfer”. 

If a printer or computer is attached, you will see results that look something like this 
example:

Simulating Pulse Amplitude

  

 

The peak-to-peak amplitude of the simulated blood pressure wave can be increased or 
decreased. Decreasing amplitude corresponds to a weakening pulse. You can decrease 
amplitude to find where the oximeter fails to find the pulse. 

You can quickly set a pulse amplitude limit.

To access the pulse amplitude alarm menu, press 

LMTS

 from Main Menu 1, and then
