15.1.3 EWS Scoring in Spot Check Mode
In Spot Check mode, EWS scoring is performed automatically.
After a parameter value is obtained, the monitor calculates the subscore of the parameter.
If all
parameters required for EWS scoring are obtained, the monitor calculates the total score
automatically.
If any of the parameter value changes, the subscore and total score are recalculated
accordingly.
• Observe the parameter and score changes and save the data timely.
