VitalView Series 3000
components use parallel data inputs that must be routed through a DP-24 DataPort
to the PC. Each DP-24 DataPort is capable of accepting 24 channels of incoming
data. Up to 10 DP-24 DataPorts may be combined in one VitalView System. VitalView
Series 4000 components use serial data inputs that must be routed through the
serial port on your PC. Up to 32 receivers and 96 channels of incoming data may
be received in this fashion. For a diagram of how these components may be assembled to form a system capable of meeting your needs, please download our VitalView brochure* or fill out our information
