Using Test Programs
The AUTO Menus
The Simulator provides several pre-defined test programs to automatically sequence tests.
You would ordinarily have to manually set each test parameter every time you start the
Simulator and connected it to a pulse oximeter for testing. Pre-defined test programs save
you time, allowing you to avoid resetting test parameters for every pulse oximeter testing
session.
You can use fourteen pre-defined programs (also called autosequences), or you can
customize any or all of them and save them for repeated use. This allows you to run tests
on specific equipment or for specific patient conditions as often as needed, without
having to re-enter the settings every time.
Using a pre-defined program, the Simulator will run through the tests one by one, at the
settings you determine and for the time for each test that you specify. You are only
prompted to press a button to begin each test in sequence.
You can even tailor the test reports to contain only the information you want to see; for
example, excluding or including the device information header (which contains serial
numbers, device names and so on).
Navigating Through the Programming Process
Define a set of parameters starting at the Main Menu 2 by selecting AUTO. Set the
variables for autosequencing, after you have selected to program, run, or change
programs, in one of two ways:
•
Pressing +
or
-
to increase or decrease a value
•
Pressing the key labeled SEL (to accept the values shown in display)
Move to the next screen in the series as you define your automatic program by pressing
ADV when available (you can also use ADV to bypass any screen, as needed).
