Overview
Main Screen Illustration
Located on the Main Screen are the real-time CO
2
waveform graph and the Breath Parameters.
The CO
2
data can be reported as partial pressure (mmHg) as shown in the illustration or in
percent units (see Menu Options Description below). The Breath Rate is reported in breaths per
minute.
The update rate of the CO
2
waveform and the Breath Parameters depends on how the CO
2
module is configured. The CO
2
module supplied with the evaluation kit is configured with the
default CO
2
waveform rate of 30mSec and a default Breath Parameter rate of once per breath.
The CO
2
waveform’s sweep rate can be changed in the Configure menu. The sweep rate units
listed in the menu selection assume the 30mSec waveform rate.
A standard drop-down style Windows Menu Bar is available across the top of the Main Screen.
The function of each item available on the menu bar is described below. Along the bottom of the
screen is a “Freeze” button that (when clicked on) freezes the CO
2
waveform and Breath
Parameters. The “Freeze” button (when clicked on) changes to a “Resume” button, allowing you
to resume normal monitoring.
The Main Screen can be resized in both directions by moving the mouse pointer to the edge of
the window and dragging (left click and hold while moving the mouse). The CO
2
module’s status
is displayed at the bottom of the screen along with the PC’s configured serial port settings.
