Use the Waveform Menu to:
• Change the speed of the Gas measurement waveform
• Change the scale of the Gas measurement waveform
• Select the corresponding measurement unit, CO

O or anesthetic.
For information on other settings in the Gas measurement waveform menu, see the
appropriate section in this chapter.
To open the Gas measurement Waveform Menu:
• Select any Gas waveform on the screen. The selected Gas Waveform Menu
appears, and the current settings are displayed.
The Gas measurement module has the following waveforms:
•O

•CO

• AGT2.xxx

The available waveforms depend on the measurement module being used. Modules with
the dual agent measurement (AGT and AGT2) can identify up to two anesthetics being
used at the same time and differentiate them in waveforms and number panes. Modules
with single agent detection or without agent identification use only the field AGT.
The waveform type selected will be displayed at the top-left corner of the waveform
pane.
The waveform labels and color depends on the selected waveform and the
detected anesthetics.
