Memory Features
Model 9700 collects and stores a minimum of 115 hours of SpO
2
and pulse rate data.
Data may be downloaded with Nonin’s nVISION
®
data management software.
The memory in the device functions as an “endless loop” tape. When the memory fills up, the
device overwrites the oldest data with the new data.
Each time the device is turned on, the current time/date information (if the clock is set properly)
is stored in memory, starting a new data collection. Only data collections greater than one minute
in length are stored in memory.
Patient SpO
2
and pulse rate are sampled every 2 seconds. Every 4 seconds, the high and low
values of the 4-second sample period are stored. Oxygen saturation values are stored in 1%
increments in a range of 0 to 100%.
The stored pulse rate ranges from 18 to 300 pulses per minute (BPM). The stored values are in
increments of 1 pulse per minute in a range of 18 to 200 pulses per minute, and in increments of
2 pulses per minute in a range of 201 to 300 pulses per minute (BPM).
Using nVISION Data Management Software
The Avant 9700 has a Memory Download feature allowing stored data to be transferred to
Nonin’s nVISION data management software for analysis. When downloading data, use the
following procedure:
1. With the device turned off, attach the null modem cable to the RS232 connector port of the

ON/STANDBY button. All LEDs will illuminate briefly.
PLy bAC
will appear in the SpO
2
and Pulse Rate display areas. This message indicates the device is now in Download
mode.
3. The
PLy bAC
message will disappear after a few seconds, indicating memory download
is complete; larger files might take several minutes. Pressing the ON/STANDBY button will
exit Download mode.
4. A
