DESCRIPTION
ANALOG1 OR
ANALOG 2
(CONTINUED)
Pleth
Traces the plethysmographic waveform as shown on the Radical
display.
Signal IQ
Traces the Signal IQ waveform as shown on the Radical display. A full
scale Signal IQ signal (100%) is represented as 1 Volt, while a zero
Signal IQ signal (0%) is represented as 0 Volt.
0V Output
A 0 Volt calibration signal is mapped to the analog output. Use this
signal for calibration of recording devices. (0 Volts represents a
saturation of 0% and a pulse rate of 0 bpm).
1V Output
A 1 Volt calibration signal is mapped to the analog output. Use this
signal for calibration of recording devices. (1 Volt represents a
saturation of 100% and a pulse rate of 250 bpm).
NURSE CALL
Alarms
The nurse call output will be activated based on alarm events.
Low Signal IQ
The nurse call output will be activated based on Low Signal IQ events.
Alarm & Signal IQ
The nurse call output will be activated based on alarm and Low Signal
IQ events.
POLARITY
Normal
Standard polarity. See section 7,
Analog output / nurse call
specifications.
Invert
This setting reverses the Normally Open and Normally closed
contacts. See section 7,
Analog output / nurse call specifications.

Note:
The output menu selections are only available when the Radical Handheld is
interfaced to the Docking Station.

DESCRIPTION
SERIAL
The following serial output modes are supported. All serial output is RS-
232 based. See the interface specifications in Section 7, Specifications.
ASCII 1
ASCII text data is sent to the serial interface at one-second intervals.The
ASCII text includes: date and time stamp, SpO
2
pulse rate, PI, and alarm
and exception values. All text is single line followed by a line feed
character and a carriage return.
ASCII 2
ASCII text data is sent to the serial interface following a query from the
connecting computer.RadNet data output is in this format.
BINARY
Compressed binary data is sent to the serial interface following a query
from the connecting computer.
PHILIPS VUELINK
SpO
2
, pulse rate and plethysmographic waveform data are sent in
Philips VueLink format to the serial port.
SPACELABS FLEXPORT
SpO
2
, pulse rate and plethysmographic waveform data are sent in
Spacelabs Flexport format to the serial port.
ANALOG1 OR
ANALOG 2
SpO
2
0 - 100%
Scales the saturation measurement with 0% being equal to 0 Volt and
100% equal to 1 Volt.
SpO
2
50 - 100%
Scales the saturation measurement with 50% being equal to 0 Volt and
100% equal to 1 Volt.
PULSE RATE
Scales the pulse rate measurement with 0 BPM being equal to 0 Volt,
and 250 BPM equal to 1 Volt.
