28.9.2.2 Displaying the BIS Trend
The BIS Trend tab of the BIS Expand view shows the trend of selected parameters. You can configure the BIS 
trend:
■ Select Parameter 1 and Parameter 2 to set the parameters whose trend you want to display.
■ Set Trend Length.
28.9.2.3 Displaying BIS DSA
The Density Spectral Array (DSA) shows changes in the power spectrum distribution over a certain period of time. 
DSA view shows the following information:
■ y-axis: time scale
■ x-axis: signal frequency scale from 0 to 30 Hz
■ Color bar: shows range of power. Red indicates maximum power and blue indicates minimum power.
■ Spectral edge frequency (SEF) trend: It is the white Spectral Edge line superimposed on the graph where 
95% of the total power lies on one side of the line (toward the inside of the graph) and 5% lies on the other.
■ The current SEF value: displays above the graph.
■ ASYM graph: displays in the center of the DSA view. It shows the degree of asymmetry in EEG power 
between the left and right hemispheres. The ASYM scale begins at 20% at the center line and runs left or
right to 100%. Asymmetry data less than 20% are not displayed on the graph, but are available in the 
tabular trends.
