The definitions of the bytes are as follows: Monitor Type This field contains a 1-byte ASCII value indicating the type of monitor sending the information.
  • Page 196 Peripheral Devices: RS-232 Connectors Fetal Movement: This field contains one ASCII character representing the current status of the signal: low or high. If the data byte is a 0 (30H), then the signal is low indicating no movement is detected; if the data byte is 1 (31H), then the signal is high indicating fetal movement is detected.
  • Page 197 Peripheral Devices: RS-232 Connectors Error Conditions Transmission Errors Transmission errors may be detected by the external computer as parity errors, framing errors (no valid stop bit), or invalid characters. There is no facility in the 170 Series Monitor to re-transmit any information found to contain an error. It is therefore up to the user to decide what action to take as a result of an error.
