Why does my IDA 4 Plus fail to communicate with my computer?

The RS232 ports (Serial Port) on your computer and IDA 4 Plus must be configured the same way. Hydrograph for Windows assumes the IDA 4 Plus RS232 port to be set to its default: 19,200 baud.

Verify that your IDA 4 Plus RS232 port is set to 19,200 baud. RS232 settings be viewed in the Utilities menu.

If using Hydrograph for Windows, verify that Hydrograph has configured your RS232 port to 19,200 baud. In Hydrograph, RS232 port settings can be viewed and changed, by clicking "Control" on the menu bar, then by selecting the "Com Port Settings" option.

What is the benefit of Power On Delay</i> and Power Off Delay</i> selections in Electrical Safety Test Containers in Ansur? Also, please clarify the use of Stop Before New Power Configuration and Stop After New Power Configuration</i>

All electrical safety plug-ins power off, then apply a delay to ensure a minimum time with power turned off before turning it on again, in addition to letting the device under test (DUT) stabilize after powering off.

This is also consistent with the way the Power On Delay is implemented. The DUT power is switched on and then the delay is applied, allowing the DUT to stabilize after powering on.

If you want to perform any actions before powering a DUT on or off , you should use the "Stop before new power configuration" and/or "stop after new power configuration" options.

I see there is an "Establishment Name" field in Ansur, but it is not the name of my facility (hospital or company). How can I get the right establishment name in Ansur?

Correcting the establishment name in Ansur requires a new license key to be generated. If the Ansur Plug-In has not been purchased, an order will need to be placed with Fluke Biomedical or with a Fluke Biomedical distributor (outside the USA). For post-purchase Ansur support, a phone call or e-mail to Fluke Biomedical Technical Support requesting the correction, including the correct establishment name and current license key for each Plug-In will allow generation of new license keys with correct establishment names.

How do I get Ansur to work properly after I have downloaded it from the Fluke Biomedical website?

The website-downloadable Ansur software and Plug-Ins are useful to evaluate the general look and feel of the product; however, full functionality of Ansur is only available with a license key. Purchased license keys are required to save and print test results. License keys are provided with each purchased Ansur Plug-In. If you have not purchased a license key, please contact your local Fluke Biomedical sales representative or e-mail a request for quote to [email protected].

Regarding the Patient Monitor Test Plug-In, how can I upload customized autosequences from my computer to ProsSim 8 using Ansur ProSim 8 Mini Plug-in?

Ansur ProSim 8 Mini Plug-In requires administrator privileges to run properly. If you have not logged on to your PC as administrator, press SHIFT key on the keyboard, right click on the Ansur shortcut or ProSim Mini Plug-In shortcut on the desktop or Start Menu and select Run as Administrator. You will now be able to run Ansur ProSim Mini Plug-In without any errors.
