Figure 9: Serial Port Pin Layout
Pins 2, 3, and 5 provide data in RS-232 format.
Pins 1, 4, 9, and 12 provide data in RS-422 format. TxD+ and
TxD- are the differential transmit data pair. RxD+ and RxD- are
the differential receive pair.
No hardware flow control is used. However, XON/XOFF flow
control is supported.
REAL-TIME DISPLAY FORMAT
Real-time data is continuously sent to the data port on the back of
the NPB-290. Patient data can be obtained through the data port
by connecting it to an attached PC or serial printer. When a real-
time printout or display is being transmitted to a printer or PC, a
new line of data is displayed every 2 seconds. Column headings
are displayed or printed after every 25 lines, or if one of the
values in the column heading changes.
Data cannot be obtained if the NPB-290 is operating on battery
power.
Note: If the data output stops transmitting, turn the power off
and back on again or, if connected to a PC, send an XON
(Ctrl-q) to reset the monitor.
An example of a real-time printout is shown in Figure 10.
