15.4 Understanding the ICG Display
The ICG monitoring provides a continuous display of the impedance waveform and 4
numerics. Of 4 numerics, 1 is the primary parameter C.I. and 3 are secondary parameters. The
secondary parameters are user-selectable, and C.O., SVR and TFC are the defaults.
By selecting the ICG parameter window, you can access the [ICG Setup] menu.
