Switching On
Switch on the instrument. Momentarily, the display will read
“V01” (firmware version 01) according to the following pic-
ture:
The top line (now 000) indicates the
actual pressure
in the
tail cuff.
The second line shows the
heart rate
in pulses per minute.
This figure can be 000, or a value recorded in a previous
experiment may be displayed.
The caption below the second line shows the logo, the manufacturer’s name, the firmware ver-
sion (actually V01) and the catalogue number of the instrument.
The bottom line illustrates the
key functions
.
Depress the key
F4
(
ESC
); the following displays will appear in loop-mode succession:-
You will notice a change only in the 3
rd
and 4
th
line which
form a small-type double string. The top string shows, in or-
der, systolic, diastolic pressure and heart rate in the
com-
pression phase
.
The bottom string shows the same data, in the same se-
quence, but related to the
decompression phase
.
The M01 characters represent complementary information,
which will be described later on.
By depressing the F4 key again the display shows the present time and date, once more and the
two mice (logo of our flyers) show up!

Initial “Dry Run”
A “dry run” is advisable, to get familiar with the instrument, neglecting for the moment the animal
which will otherwise drive all available attention.
Connect both the selected pulse transducer and pressure cuff, see paragraph 4.4-Connections.
