Enabling Record on Alarm
Number of Real-Time Waves
The Number of Real-Time Waves setting specifies the number of waveform types to be
included when a printout is generated.
You can include up to three real-time wave types, depending on the wave types you are
currently measuring. For example, if you are measuring SpO
2
, CO
2
, and respiration, you
can choose to include 1, 2, or 3 waves on the printout. However, if you are measuring only
SpO
2
, you can only choose to include 1 wave on the printout.
On the printout, the waveforms are printed in a stacked format, with the first waveform at
the top, the second below it, and the third below the second. The more waves that are
printed, the smaller the vertical scale for each wave.
Real-Time Wave 1, 2, and 3
The Real-Time Wave settings enable you to specify the order in which multiple waves
are stacked on the printout.
The number of Real-Time Wave menus changes dynamically, depending on the number
of wave types you are currently measuring. For example, if you are measuring SpO
2
, CO
2
,
and respiration, there are three menus: Real-Time Wave 1, Real-Time Wave 2, and
Real-Time Wave 3. Each menu lets you select SpO2, CO2, or Resp.
The waveform selection you make in each menu determines that waveform’s placement
in the stack. The following table shows the effects of your menu selections, assuming you
are monitoring three waves.
Enabling Record on Alarm
You can configure the EarlyVue VS30 monitor to automatically generate a printout when
a physiological alarm occurs. After a measurement is taken and the monitor determines
that the value is outside the alarm limits, the recorder produces a printout.
The Record On Alarm option is available in the Alarm Settings menu. For more
information, see “Automatically Printing a Record when an Alarm Occurs” on page 4-11.
