Serial interface specifications
The digital interface for serial communication is based on the standard RS-232 protocol.
The Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter by default always outputs ASCII 1 text data through
the serial port, unless the user selects a different output mode in the Output menu. To
interface with the Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter and receive serial text data, simply con-
nect a serial interface cable with a ferrite bead installed to the serial output connector
located on the back of the Radical-7 Docking Station.
NOTE: The Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter serial interface is only available when the
Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter Handheld is properly attached to the Radical-7 Pulse CO-
Oximeter Docking Station.
NOTE: The serial interface is not available in all versions of the docking station.
Once serial communication is established, packets of data are communicated at 1 sec-
ond intervals. The data packets contain: the date, time, SpO
2
, pulse rate, perfusion index
and alarm and exception values. (in ASCII format).
WARNING: ALL EXTERNAL DEVICE CONNECTIONS TO THE ANALOG OUT-
PUT/ NURSE CALL CONNECTOR MUST BE IEC-60950
COMPLIANT.

SERIAL PRINTER SETUP
To print the SpO
2
and pulse rate data in ASCII 1 format on a serial printer, simply connect
the laser printer to the serial port. Once serial communication is established, the Radical-
7 Pulse CO-Oximeter will automatically start printing the ASCII 1 text data.
WARNING: ALL EXTERNAL DEVICE CONNECTIONS TO THE RS-232 SERIAL
PORT MUST BE IEC-60950 COMPLIANT.
