values. This utility provides a means to download parameters to one or more
detector boards without resetting the entire instrument.

connected to a host computer, this board also buffers test results until the host
accepts them. This status screen may be used to test the operation of the front
panel keypad, all of the switches used to detect a user's body position and the two
gas pressure sensors.
This diagnostic utility verifies that all microprocessor-based boards within the
instrument respond correctly. In addition, the software version numbers for all
