Naming convention for 12-Lead Data Files
When the SmartLink Wireless Monitoring Station receives a transmission from a Sending
Station, the associated 12-Lead Data File is automatically saved on the PC running the
monitoring station. The file is saved under the directory where the SmartLink Wireless
software is installed. If the original 12-Lead Data File is removed or renamed the file
cannot be opened from the Transmission Event Log by double clicking the log entry. The
file may still be opened by using the File | Open 12-Lead Transmission (section 5.1.1)
menu item or the Open 12-Lead toolbar button (section 5.5.1). Note that when a
transmission is cleared from the Transmission Event Log, the file corresponding to the
transmission does not get deleted. The file remains in its original location and may be
viewed by opening the file from the File | Open 12-Lead Transmission menu item or the
Open 12-Lead toolbar button. The file may also be opened by simply double clicking the
filename on the Windows Explorer.
Figure 6: 12-Lead Data File name composition
Figure 6 details the individual components that make up the 12-Lead Data File name. The
Date, Time, and Serial Number combination constitute the “Patient ID” on the
Transmission Event Log. The unique identifier is used in case the same 12-Lead Data File
is sent twice; it is derived from a running clock contained within the Windows
environment.
