• Transmission Protocol:
With the Analog setting, the system responds to a digital request by sending a standardized data
record. The string consists of 54 alphanumeric characters as well as of Carriage Return and Line
Feed as end-of-line characters. Via the RS232 interface, only the command S <CR> is accepted, all
other characters are ignored. The exercise test cannot be terminated by sending a command to the
interface. BP values will read “000” in the data string to indicate erroneous BP measurements.
The command S <CR> initiates a BP measurement. Upon termination of the BP measurement, the
ergometer outputs the data record.
No.xx, SYST:xxx mmHg, DIAST: xxx mmHg, Pulse: xxx/min <CR> <LF>
where No.xxis used to identify the consecutive BP measurements (No.01, No.02, ...).
