The first line in the information box contains the open file name. The next line is the
creation time for the file. The remaining lines contain the information that you provided
at file creation.
Events
During file playback, the software checks for event markers in the data files. The Events
section of the File Controls panel displays information from the data file regarding the
last event played back. VT for Windows displays this information until another event
begins.
Timed Breaks
This selection allows you to specify automatically marked intervals in the data file.
Extract Signal File
A signal file is a data file of raw waveforms. The software generates the .sig files from
the .vtp files using a file conversion program. Initiate this by selecting Extract Signal File
from the File menu. You must close files to enable this option. The .sig files are in ASCII
format; you can easily import them into your favorite spreadsheet. They contain raw
flow, pressure, volume, auxiliary pressure, and differential pressure time series collected
at 20 ms time increments (50 Hz sample rate).
Extract Parameter File
Parameter files store the breath-by-breath calculated ventilator parameters. The software
generates the .par files from the .vtp files using a file conversion program. Initiate this by
selecting Extract Parameter File from the File menu. You must close files to enable this
option. The .par files are in ASCII format; you can easily import them into your favorite
spreadsheet.
