Combining Data

Combining Data
In some situations, the patient name and/or ID in the monitor and
module may not match (see Append New Data display on previous
page). In other cases, one or both names may be blank. The Data
Transfer Combine Task Window enables you to combine files when the
demographic data is missing or different.
Time
Data in a monitor can be stored at either 1-minute or 12-second
Conversion
resolution, depending on the monitor's configuration. Data in a module
is stored only at 1-minute resolution. Time conversions are done
automatically when the resolutions are different.
When converting data from 12-second to 1-minute resolution (that is,
from a monitor to a module), one data sample out of 5 is selected to
represent the minute. The sample selected is the one on the minute
boundary.
When transferring data from 1-minute to 12-second resolution (from a
module to a monitor), one valid sample and 4 blanks will be used for
each minute. The valid sample will be placed on the minute boundary.
Database
Transfers to the Module
Conversion
A module contains enough memory to store 24 hours of data for 16
parameters at 1 minute resolution. If the data to be transferred does not
fit in the module, then the number of hours will be reduced to fit the
available memory.
The following table shows the conversion between the monitor and
module databases during a transfer to the module.
