Regarding the Defibrillator Test Plug-In, why does my Ansur IMPULSE 4000 Plug-In fail to communicate/setup my IMPULSE 4000 when I try to run a test template to test my defibrillator/pacer?

The IMPULSE 4000 firmware requires the display screen to be at the home-screen in order for communications to be established. On the IMPULSE 4000, press the ESC button (middle right on control panel) until the display shows IMPULSE 4000 MAIN MENU PAGE 1: Then run the test template. If you have other problems it is likely a loose or misconnected RS232 serial communications cable or an incorrect COM port selection on your computer. This generally applies to all Ansur-compatible test devices. Be sure that the display menu is at the home position on the compatible test device.

Regarding the Electrical Safety Plug-In, what is the benefit of Power On Delay and Power Off Delay selections in Electrical Safety Test Containers in Ansur?

All electrical safety Plug-Ins are powering off and then applying the delay. This is to ensure a minimum time with power turned off before turning it on again, in addition to let the 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 it on.

If you want to perform any actions before powering on or off a DUT, you should use the "Stop Before New Power Configuration" and/or "Stop After New Power Configuration" options.
