Hi,
Thank you for sharing this program.
I am from Malaysia, and I am starting to set up using this software.
I would like to ask whether the GE B40 monitor is supported? If it is supported, how is the cable connection for this device? I tried to connect the device with 9 pin serial to USB converter to my laptop, but nothing happen to the program.
Thank you for your attention and Happy New Year.

Please refer to the end of the section "GE CARESCAPE B850, B650, B450" in the DOCs page.

However, you must prepare "ATEN" USB-serial converter and F/F cross gender before establishing serial connection.
The connection diagram is like this.
[B40 USB port] - [USB port of ATEN converter -serial port of ATEN converter] - [F/F null modem] - [serial port of generic USB-serial converter - USB port of genericUSB-serial converter] - [USB port of your VR computer]
After confirming that a proper serial port (COM) has been created, please select "GE: Bx50" in the device list of VR to initiate data collection.

Dear Vitaldb2017,
I have checked our General Electric B40 monitor and there is NO USB PORT on it. Our monitor is manufactured in 2014. Here is the instruction with connections described:
https://image.tigermedical.com/Manuals/GEH2060600-005-507513--20180315104424922.pdf
There is Multi I/O connector with 26 holes (this is for connection of Multiple Input/Output adapter) and LAN port. This Multiple Input/Output adapter has Serial Port, but actually we don't have this adapter in place.
Could there be any solution for this case? Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry that I didn't give the right information.
The B40 monitor requires a multi I/O connector for serial communication, and ATEN USB converter, which is required for Bx50 monitors, is not necessary.

Dear all,
Thank you for all the inputs.
I had managed to capture data from GE B40!
Our monitor had Multiple Input/Output adapter with Serial Port in place. I used a USB-Serial adapter to connect my laptop to the patient monitor (not the ATEN converter), and selected GE: Bx50 as advised. It works!
The first time I didn't manage to capture was because I didn't install the driver for the USB-Serial adapter.
Thank you, everyone.
