the changes reset to the values configured for the device.
ECG Acquisition Overview
You can record an ECG in pre-acquisition or post-acquisition modes.
Table 17: ECG Acquisition Modes

Description
Pre-acquisition When you start recording an ECG:
• If 10 seconds of ECG data is available, the system records the previous 10
seconds of data for analysis.
• If 10 seconds of ECG data is not available, the system continues recording
until 10 seconds of ECG data is obtained.
Post-acquisition When you start recording an ECG, the system records the next 10 seconds of
data for analysis.
If the Auto-ECG option is enabled on the device, the device automatically records one
ECG for each new patient. For more information on automatic ECG acquisition, see
Automatically Acquire an ECG on page 69.
To record an ECG patient test manually, see Manually Start an ECG recording on page
70.
Automatically Acquire an ECG
Start a test for a new patient. For more information, see Start a Test for a New Patient
on page 51.
Make sure that your administrator enables the AECG - Auto ECG option.
The system starts to automatically record an ECG:
• When AECG - Auto ECG option is enabled.
• If the Hookup Advisor status is green.
• If you are viewing the scrolling waveforms in the Live tab.
The automatic acquisition of ECG happens only once per patient connection.
The Stop Auto ECG icon displays the count of acquisition progress until you record
10 seconds of data. After acquiring 10 seconds of data with good signal quality, the
recording stops and a preview of the ECG patient report displays.
If you record the ECG before you enter patient information in the Patient Information
screen, you can edit patient information before accepting the preview. For more
information, see Accept or Reject an ECG Patient Report on page 72.
