Introduction
The CapnoTrue® PC-Software is used to download measurement data, selected alarm limits and alarm messages from the CapnoTrue® device onto your computer via USB interface. The datasets can be viewed and patient data added. Datasets can be printed or exported as CSV file for processing with additional software. Furthermore the software can be used to display and save measurement data and alarm messages on your computer by activating the Real–Time mode at the CapnoTrue® device. In this mode data is send to the computer every second in parallel with the ongoing measurements (for device software <v8.0, every 4 seconds). With the CapnoTrue® PC-Software version V1.5 and higher a statistic summary report can be generated for each dataset.
