About MPM View: ClinicView and Tech View are two views of the information collected and logged by the MPM View monitoring program that installs on the cart computer.

ClinicView – provides a simple and accessible view of time remaining in the battery in the cart. ClinicView is for users of PC workstations on carts.

Tech View – provides a view of specific alarms, event and data histories, and allows configuration of cart identity information and the cart power system. The information available in Tech View is most useful for technicians and cart servicers.
