Dialog Box Options

Parameter	Description
Output Options	Specifies basic settings for simulating noninvasive blood pressure signals. Contains the following options: White noise amplitude—Specifies the amplitude of the white noise to add to the simulated noninvasive blood pressure signal, in millimeter of mercury. White noise amplitude must be greater than or equal to 0. The default is 0. Power noise—Specifies the amplitude and the frequency of the noise that this Express VI adds into the simulated noninvasive blood pressure signal. This VI adds a 50 Hz noise or a 60 Hz noise to simulate the impact of alternating current. Power frequency—Specifies the frequency, in hertz, of the noise that this Express VI adds into the simulated BP signal. The default is 60. Power noise amplitude—Specifies the amplitude, in millimeter of mercury, of the noise that this Express VI adds into the simulated BP signal. Power noise amplitude must be greater than or equal to 0. The default is 0. Sampling rate—Specifies the sampling rate of the simulated noninvasive blood pressure signal, in hertz. Sampling rate must be between 10 and 1,000. The default is 512.
Measurement Process	Specifies the measurement process that this VI simulates. Contains the following options: Inflation speed—Specifies the speed of cuff inflation in the simulated measurement process, in millimeter of mercury per second. The default is 15. Deflation speed—Specifies the speed of cuff deflation in the simulated measurement process, in millimeter of mercury per second. The default is 5.
Blood Pressure	Specifies blood pressure settings for the simulated noninvasive blood pressure signal. Systolic—Specifies the systolic blood pressure of the simulated noninvasive blood pressure signal, in millimeter of mercury. Systolic must be greater than Diastolic and less than 200. The default is 120. Diastolic—Specifies the diastolic blood pressure of the simulated noninvasive blood pressure signal, in millimeter of mercury. Diastolic must be greater than 50 and less than Systolic. The default is 80.
Heart Rate	Specifies the heart rate settings for the simulated noninvasive blood pressure signal. Heart rate—Specifies the heart rate value of the simulated noninvasive blood pressure signal, in beats per minute. Heart rate must be greater than 10 and less than 300. The default is 60. Standard deviation—Specifies the standard deviation of the heart rate of the simulated noninvasive blood pressure signal, in beats per minute. Standard deviation must be greater than or equal to 0. The default is 1.
Preview	Displays the preview of a part of the noninvasive blood pressure signal that this VI simulates.
Cuff Settings	Specifies cuff settings for the simulated noninvasive blood pressure signal. Cuff binding—Specifies the status of the cuff binding in the simulated measurement process. Cuff volume—Specifies the volume of the cuff in the simulated measurement process.
