Waves and Loops Displays
Refer to Foldout F-6 for a sample of the Main Screen.
From the Main Screen menu on the GUI, repeatedly touching the
Waves button will allow the user to scroll through the following
waveform displays:
• Pressure/Time
• Flow/Time
• Volume/Time
• Pressure/TimeandFlow/Time
• Pressure/TimeandVolume/Time
When the waveform reaches the right end of the time scale, it wraps
from right to left and continues to plot, erasing a small section of the
old graph as it goes. Changing the time scale causes the waveform
to restart from the left.
Touch the Loops button to display either a Flow-Volume Loop,
Volume-Pressure Loop or both. Each loop clears before a new one is
plotted. Spontaneous breath Loops are displayed in a separate color
from mandatory breaths.
See “Save Feature” and “Download Feature” on following pages for
details on saving Waves and Loops screen files.
NOTE: The Accept button is not needed to change the display from
waveforms to loops, trends or numerics.
