[19200 baud]. Protocol The recorder offers two communication protocols: “A5” and “CSI” (Client Server Interface, MAC 1200 / 1200 ST only). With the “A5” protocol, the 10-second resting ECG can be transmitted to CardioSys and CardioSoft. The CSI protocol supports the transfer of resting ECGs from the electrocardiograph to a MUSE CV system.
