Generating Signal (.sig) Files
A signal file is a data file of raw waveforms. The .sig files are in ASCII format and can
easily be imported into a spreadsheet. They contain raw flow, pressure, volume, auxiliary
pressure, and differential pressure time series collected at 20 ms time increments (50 Hz
sample rate).
The .sig files are generated from the .vtp files using a file conversion program initiated by
clicking Generate Signal File on the File menu bar. Files must be closed to enable this
option.
Generating Parameter (.par) Files
Parameter files store the breath-by-breath calculated ventilator parameters. The .par files
are in ASCII format and can be imported into a spreadsheet.
The .par files are generated from the .vtp files using a file conversion program initiated
by clicking Generate Param File on the File menu. Files must be closed to enable this
option.
