All the body sensor monitors have a reading or value that they can send periodically at a rate determined by the device's scan rate.
As you can see below, a Body Sensor Monitor has two sliders, the top slider represents the value to be sent to whatever is reading the sensor. The bottom slider controls the frequency at which the value is read and sent to the receiver. The picture icon pulses whenever the value is read and sent. The icons will not pulse until they have been connected to a Ponder2 adapter managed object that can receive the values.
NB. The pulsing is very confusing with the heart rate monitor because, like the other monitors, the picture of the heart pulsing is linked to the scan rate, not the heart rate. Sorry!
The Insulin pump is controlled by a Ponder2 managed object that can administer a shot of insulin to the patient when told to. The icon will pulse when this happens. See the PonderTalk documentation for the pump commands.
