By connecting the GMON to a TANITA Body Composition Monitor all measurement data can be transferred to the GMON database and will be available for immediate analysis and long-term monitoring. The Body Composition Monitor is classified in the Measurement Results and Analysis index cards. The information displayed depends on the range of functions performed by the monitor that is connected.
'Measurement Results' index card
The input fields serve to record the measurement results. When Taking a new reading all the parameters needed to control the monitor are called up separately.

All data that can be analysed on other GMON index cards, will also be automatically entered there. Measurement values that are already known (body weight in particular) from other index cards will also be available in this screen view, but can be changed.
The field "Measuring condition" can be used for special evaluations, when the condition of the measurement is important (e.g. Before or after a dialysis). The possible measuring conditions can be defined individually in the ini-file "[Program Files]\MedServ\GMon\Src\Variables.ini" under the sections "[Tanita BCM]".
'Analysis' index card
Due to the potential variety of information in terms of body fat measurements a separate index card is provided for analysis illustration.
