Thank you for purchasing Spirotrac®IV. Spirotrac IV is a Microsoft Windows based computerised spirometry system designed for lung function testing in a variety of environments, e.g. occupational health centres, hospitals, pharmaceutical research centres, physicians' and GPs' offices, and wherever else advanced PC-based spirometry is required.
System Requirements Before starting, please ensure that the following software and hardware requirements are met. • • • •
486 based 66MHz PC or better with a 3½" drive Minimum of 8 MBytes extended RAM Microsoft® Windows 95/Windows 98 Mouse
We also recommend the following, • The monitor’s desktop area resolution is set to 800 x 600 pixels minimum - this is in order to enhance graphic viewing during testing. • Any system sounds on your PC should be disabled - certain PCs can not access the serial port (COM port) efficiently when sound is enabled. A symptom of this is no real-time curves appearing while testing with a serial device (e.g. 2120). • The same can be said for any Windows messaging applications (WinPopup, MS Exchange etc.) - these should not be running while testing or downloading/ uploading with Spirotrac. • If you are using a screen saver, ensure that it does not activate while testing - set the screen saver interval for at least 10 minutes. When using Spirotrac IV with the Vitalograph 2120 or Vitalograph Gold Standard +, • Ensure that the software version on the Vitalograph 2120 is Version 2.00 or later. This information can acquired by selecting the About section of the Setup menu on the Vitalograph 2120. • Ensure that the software version on the Vitalograph Gold Standard + is Version 2.00 or later. This information can acquired by selecting the About section of the Setup menu on the Vitalograph Gold Standard +.
