Abstract:
A method is described whereby a single program can acquire data from any patient monitor which has a data output facility. No changes are necessary to the program for different monitors. It provides a method of standardizing data transfer between computers and monitors. The program runs in the Microsoft Windows 3.0 operating system. It utilizes Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) which enable the operating system to communicate with monitors. Each kind of monitor will use a unique DLL in order to provide a standard interface to the Windows 3.0 operating system.
