Basic Operations
Setting the Screen
You can enter the [Screen Setup] window as shown below by selecting the [Main Menu]→[Screen Setup]→[Screen Layout
>>]. In this window, you can allocate the positions of the parameters and waveforms. The parameters or waveforms whose
positions are not allocated will not be displayed.
Area A
Area B
Area C
The ECG parameter and the first ECG waveform always
display in the first row. The configurable areas can be
classied as Area A, Area B, and Area C.
In Area A, you can choose to display the parameters (having
waveforms) and their waveforms. Each parameter and the
associated waveform are displayed in the same row.
In Area B, you can choose to display the parameters and
their waveforms. When there is no parameter displayed in
area C, both the parameters and their waveforms will be
displayed in area B. Otherwise, only the parameters will be
displayed.
In Area C, you can choose to display all the parameters
whose associated waveforms will not be displayed.
The screen can automatically adjust to ensure the best view
based on your screen setup.
If no corresponding parameter or waveform is displayed
on the monitor screen, you should perform the following
inspections:
Check the connection of the lead, cable, or sensor.
