Unit use the RS232 Port on the rear of the device . Portable PDAs
(personal data assistants) or computers can be connected to the Patient Warming
System M000 Control Unit to download data . The data stream can be received on a
conventional PC by using Hyperterminal or other data collection programs using the

Data Format:
The data output stream is a series of ASCII characters . A “$” is sent
as the first item of a new data sequence . Each data item within the
sequence is separated by a comma (ASCII 44) . The data sequence is
terminated with a carriage return character (ASCII 3) followed by a
new line character (ASCII 0) . The time since power up of each data
sequence can be calculated from the Serial Sequence Number and
Communications Output Interval .
