NOTE: When using the 12-lead ECG module, only ECG1, ECG2 and ECG3
are available.

Shift and click the desired waves.

Shift and click the wave.

Changing the waveform sampling interval

Click Freq and select the frequency. The sampling frequency in the online mode
can be selected from 300 to 1 Hz.

During network communication the maximum number of waves that can be
requested is 24.

During serial communication, the maximum frequency available depends on
which waveforms are being collected. For example, ECG has 300 Hz,
hemodynamic waveforms 100 Hz and gas and spirometry waveforms 25 Hz.

4–6

Using S/5 Collect online

If too many waves are selected, a prompt to reduce the amount of waveforms is
displayed. The limit is a total of 600 samples per second; for example

2 * 300 Hz or
1 * 300 Hz + 3 * 100 Hz or
6 * 100 Hz or
2 * 100 Hz + 6 * 25 Hz or
8 * 25 Hz.
If you are collecting data from a longer period of time to an ASCII file, select a

low frequency to reduce the file size.
NOTE: With certain monitor software versions, there may be a risk that the

waveform transfer is interrupted after selecting the 1 sec as the trend sampling
interval. In such case, you will also be prompted to select less waveforms.

Data file size

The table on page B-6 in "Appendix B" shows the frequency for each wave. The
value must be multiplied by 2 to get the number of bytes/second. The overhead
each second is 40 bytes. Trend data takes about 1500 bytes per request.

An example of asking parameters each hour for a total period of 2 days (all trend
parameters are saved in the .

drc file regardless of your selection):

(2 x 24) x 1500= 72 kB.
An example of collecting 2 waveforms per hour and trend data each 5 seconds:

3600 seconds 2 x InvBP waves + trend each 5 seconds =
3600 x 2 x (100 x 2 + 40) + 3600/5x1500 =

864 kB + 144 kB= 1008 kB
It is not possible to predict the exact file size of the ASCII files. The number of

characters in the values may make a big difference in the file size, for example, if
the invasive pressure is 3.00 mmHg or 120.00 mmHg there are 4 or 6
characters written in the file.

The online data collecting shows the file sizes while saving the data and the data
rate in kB/min. From these values, you can estimate the hard disk occupation
and when the saving can be made.

NOTE: The frequency selection does not affect the data transfer rate, which is
always the maximum. The data is stored in .

drc files for each wave at its

individual rate. The data is displayed and saved in ASCII files at the chosen
frequency.

4–7

Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Collect

Changing the period of waveform display

Click Period and select 5 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min., 5 min.
When you change the period of the waveform display, the start and end times

on the scroll bar at the bottom of the page change accordingly. By moving the
scroll box you can move to the desired part of the waveform.

The recommended value depends on the selected waveform. For example, if you
select 1 minute for ECG waveforms, the artifacts cannot be read from the
displayed waveforms. When you change the period, for example, to 10 seconds,
the waveform becomes much clearer.

Using plug-ins

A plug-in is a virtual LabVIEW instrument that can be modified using LabVIEW

6.1. Plug-ins can be used for customizing the format of showing the collected
data on the screen, or for performing additional calculations with the data
online or offline.

A plug-in can run on any PC when called by the S/5 Collect without having the
LabVIEW editor itself installed on the PC. The S/5 Collect uses the NI LabVIEW
RunTime Engine 6.1 to run the plug-ins.

NOTE: The S/5 Collect needs to be registered to be able to run plug-ins.
In the main window, select Window - Select Plugin. A list of available plug-ins

is displayed.

One plug-in (S5 DLL Call.vi) calls a number of functions in a .dll file
(Dynamic Link Library). The sources of these functions are also located in the
default plug-ins directory, and may be recompiled using, for example, Virtual C
to include special functions or algorithms. The results can be stored to an
additional output file for later review.

When the plug-in has been selected, the virtual LabVIEW instrument will be
opened and called at regular intervals passing new data to the plug-in.

The calling interval can be changed in the online mode, see Figure 4-17 above.
The plug-in window may be reopened by selecting Window –"Plugin Name” .

Error situations

The S/5 Collect program may be interrupted by other applications, and can run
in the background. If other applications use a lot of CPU time, there is a risk that
communication buffers get overloaded. This may also be the case if the program
is run on a slow PC (< 200 MHz Pentium).

RS232 Communication buffer indicator bar

In the upper right corner an indicator bar displays the status of the RS232
communication buffers.

•

The presence of a green bar indicates data has been received from the

monitor but some data is being buffered. If the green bar disappears, all

buffered data has been processed.

•

The size of the yellow bar indicates how much data has been read by the

software but not displayed on the screen yet. The data has not been fully

processed, usually due to too heavy CPU load. If more than 10 kB is

buffered, an overload message is displayed.

•

The size of the red bar indicates how much data has been received but

not read yet at all (maximum buffer size is 30kB).

Parameters

Use the trend box or the selection box to display
the desired parameters.

For parameters, the column, unit, description, group, position and divider
settings are given.

The value in the column indicates the label shown in parameter selection lists
and ASCII files.

The description is only shown in the Configuration Editor window.
NOTE: You can change the column and description values. It may be that

additional parameters or waveforms have been added to a monitor after the
release of this collection program. When adding new parameters, you can also
add data to other fields. When adding new parameters, please consult your
Datex-Ohmeda representative.

NOTE: Special caution should be taken with the group and position settings.
The monitor sends the parameter data in packages of several parameters. A

group means the numerical code of the package of parameters the parameter
belongs to. A position refers to the parameter's position in a specific group.

Waveforms

The divider setting depends on the unit in use. The divider modifies the data
string given by the monitor into physiological values.

Use the waveform box or the selection box to
display the desired waveforms.

For waveforms, the column, unit, description, divider, frequency, delay and filter
settings are given.

NOTE: Do not change any values in the existing fields. You may add new
waveforms in the configuration. When adding new waveforms, please consult
your Datex-Ohmeda representative.

The value in the column indicates the label shown in waveform selection lists
and ASCII files.

The description is only shown in the Configuration Editor window.
The divider setting depends on the unit in use.
The frequency is defined by the monitor.

7–2

The delays are used for synchronizing data on the screen, in the XY graphs and
in the saved ASCII files. The waveform delay for gas is set to 2 seconds; this is
the default for a 3-meter sampling line. If the waves are generated by
mainstream CO

If a negative number is used for the filter, it will fasten the waveform. A positive
number will slow down the waveform.

(Light Monitor), the delay should be set to 0.

Time format for ASCII files

The Time column in ASCII files selection box defines how the time in the time
column in the trend ASCII files is formatted. Absolute time in ASCII will make a
string according to the Regional settings as defined in Windows Control Panel.
With Relative to start the time is cumulative from the start of the time of saving.
Time in unix format will use unix format in indicating the time.

Editing the database configuration

Defining the digit field color behavior

The color of the digit fields on the main window Trend page indicates the
stability of trend data. The color selection is affected by the value in the #Trend
samples in standard deviation calculation box. In this box, enter the number
of trend values to be included in standard deviation calculation. The number
indicates the number of samples.

Ranges for coloring the digit fields are the following:
0 to 2.5% Green

2.5 to 5% White
5 to 10% Yellow
10% or higher Red
You may use this feature to establish a steady state for selecting the moment to

APPENDIX C: Plug-ins

The S/5 Collect includes a number of plug-in examples. The S/5 Collect will
recognize all LabVIEW 6.1 Virtual Instrument files (
definition. A plug-in is called by default each 500 ms offline. You can change
the interval in online mode for the selected plug-in. The minimum rate is 50 ms.
The data passed to the plug-in is trend and wave data including the
configuration data.

Appendix C: Plug-ins

*.vi) with the below type

The directory \

plugins under the installation path contains examples of plug-

ins.
To design your own plug-in, copy the example file

Your Project.vi to a

new file and modify it using LabVIEW version 6.1 to include your specific
parameters and your specific user interface.

An example of how additional calculations can be done on trended parameters
is included in the file

Calculation.vi.

If your LabVIEW project contains a main Virtual Instrument (.vi) that calls other
sub-vi's, do as follows:

1.

Store your entire project to the plug-in directory used by S/5 Collect in
LabVIEW by selecting File - Save with options - Development
Distribution and clicking Include vi.lib files.

2.

Open the
main

3.

Delete the file with the name of the main

NOTE: If more projects are stored in the same subdirectory, all .

.llb file with the LabVIEW VI Library manager and copy the

.vi to the plug-in directory used by S/5 Collect.

.vi from the library.

vi names that

appear in multiple libraries must be identical to each other.
An example of how algorithms in a .

C++ can be linked to a LabVIEW Virtual Instrument plug-in is included in file

All C++ source files that are needed to regenerate a .dll file are copied in the
plug-in directory.

When running the .

offline windows to make sufficient room to display the plug-in, while maintaining
full control over the icons and menus of the Online and Offline windows.

Controls and Indicators

Action Possible actions :
0=Init : When opening the online or offline view or after selecting a new plug-in
During init at opening of the online or offline windows only Parameters, Parameters Definitions

and Waveform Definitions are valid. All the other input parameters are equal to zero.
1=Process : In the online window called each 500 ms (default) or at the interval indicated in the

Plug-in selection window.
In the offline window called each time a new package has been read from file. Note that duplicate

data may arrive in the plug-in. The Configuration data date-time stamp could be checked to see if
the new package is the same as in the previous call. Alternatively the latest datex_hdr_rd could be
checked to see what the latest updated package has been before the plug-in call.

During process all input variables contain valid data.
2=Exit :When exiting the online or offline window the plug-in will be called with the Exit action. This

may be used to save latest data and close the plug-in view.
