1. Connecting RESmart Device with Your Windows Computer
It is necessary to establish online communication between computer and RESmart-Device to
realize data transmission in between when some operations are being performed.
Link the 9-pin plug on the back side of RESmart with the serial port of PC by a dedicated data
cable. Power up RESmart and follow instructions given by the menus of the analysis software
interface. Data interchange can be done in this way.
Operations such as “Create New Patient Archive”, “Download”, “Device Information”, “Device
Time”, “Time Synchronization” and “User register” call for an online work of RESmart and PC.
2. RESmart Device Analysis System Startup
Double click the “RESmart 1.0 Beta” shortcut on the desktop to launch the analysis
software and the corresponding interface is shown below.
There is a menu bar on top of the screen where a tool palette with five frequently used buttons lies.
The sub-window in the centre of the screen serves to display the data trend diagrams and statistical
information of records. The status bar at the very bottom of the screen indicates present state of
the software.
3. Creating A New Patient Archive
RESmart can record data such as pressure, snore, respiration, etc to form a data file which is
stored in an embedded chip.
After the online connection of RESmart and PC, users can enter their personal information via PC
and send it to RESmart device by serial communication. Data from RESmart can firstly be
downloaded by PC and further combined with the corresponding user information to form a file.

The file has an extended name of “.USR”, which is also known as patient archive. The above
series of procedures are called “create new patient archive”, which consists of RESmart
registration and its data downloads.
Patient archive takes 24 hours as a record period, that is to say, if any output is done from 12
o’clock at mid day to 12 o’clock of the next, this set of data are formed, or, no record is kept.
RESmart analysis software is able to reflect its therapeutic situation by patient archive statistical
analysis.
3.1 Click “file” on the menu bar and choose “create new patient archive” option from the
pull-down menu. A dialog box comes up in the display window.
3.2 Link RESmart with PC as 1 mentioned and power up RESmart. Click “Yes” and a dialog box
for user registration appears as follows.
Click “OK” after entering user information, which will then be written into RESmart device
automatically. The sub-window below shows the writing course.

When the writing course is done, a dialog box shows up in the screen, indicating “User register is
successful”. Click “OK” and another dialog box for saving the patient archive appears.
3.3 User designates a name to the file and its saving directory. (The analysis software forms a
default file name according to RESmart device ID and its user information.) After clicking the
“Save” button, the patient archive will be kept with the designated name and in the designated
directory.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that all the patient archives be kept in the given
patient archive directory to facilitate the automatically matching search work. For setting the
patient archive directory, please refer to the relevant part on “setting the options” in the later part.

Click “SAVE”. The analysis software can scan the therapy data in RESmart device automatically
and keep them in patient archive.
With all the above steps done, patient archive has been created successfully. Analysis system can
launch it automatically.
4. Data Download
RESmart device which has already created a patient archive in a PC, can upload its data to patient
archive when new therapeutic data are recorded. And this process requires an online work between
RESmart and PC.
NOTICE: RESmart device must be registered with user information and the corresponding patient
archive must be kept in the given directory in PC (patient archive directory), or data can not be
downloaded.
4.1 Click “Device” in the menu bar and choose “Download”.
4.2 The analysis software can automatically read the device ID and the registered user information,
which will be compared with the patient archive in patient archive directory. If the relevant
information matches, a dialog box shows up.
