Operators Manual
B-6
RVDU Relative Volume Displacement Unit
The volume displaced inside the puck chamber when the Analyzer
pressure engine moves one increment (one micro step)
Sentinel Equipment management system (available from Dynatech Nevada)
that tracks items such as preventative maintenance and plant
operations
serial communication Transmission or reception of data in a bit stream, one bit at a time
shift See pressure envelope shift.
stop bit The last bit added to the bit stream by the transmitting hardware that
indicates the end of the bit stream to the receiving hardware
One can specify either 1 or 2 stop bits for the Analyzer.
systole Contraction of the heart during the cardiac cycle
systolic blood pressure The blood pressure that occurs during the cardiac cycle when the
heart contracts
target value A blood pressure defined by specific systolic, diastolic, and MAP
values that can be simulated by Analyzer
terminating character Character that, when entered from a controller's keyboard, informs
the Analyzer where the end of a serial transmission (remote
command) is
TotITime Total Time
Value on the makearm display that indicates how long (in seconds) it
took for the complete blood pressure cycle
Xon/Xoff Transmit On/Transmit Off
A handshaking protocol in which a transmit on signal generated
indicates data may be received
zero pressure Analyzer feature that allows one to zero the pressure transducer and
remove any offset errors during pressure measurements
