Analogue Data Outputs
Blood flow measurements can be recorded continuously to a PC or
Macintosh computer via analogue outputs located at the rear of the OxyFlo
Pro (see figure 2).
Analogue output ports consist of a 15-pin female D-type connector (one per
pair of channels).
Data recording requires a third-party data acquisition module and
accompanying software (optionally available from Oxford Optronix), which
will accept analogue input in the range -5V to +5V.
A dedicated data adapter cable (product code ‘NX-BNC’), terminating in
standard BNC connectors, provides compatibility with the vast majority of
third party data acquisition systems.
The dual-channel OxyFlo Pro requires one such cable (carrying data for
channels 1 and 2), while the 4-channel OxyFlo Pro XL model requires two
such cables (carrying data for channels 1 and 2, and 3 and 4, respectively).
The data adapter cable terminates in 4 colour-coded BNC connectors,
which carry data parameters in the following order:
