The current monitoring modes (if any transducers are connected to the monitor) are printed.
Whenever a transducer's mode is changed, the following are printed:
•the time
•the date
• trace identification symbols
• the recorder speed

first switched on, in a periodic time stamp every ten minutes after, and if the monitoring modes
change. The time stamp begins with the symbol shown below. The data is reprinted in the header if the
time and date are locally adjusted, or if an obstetrical information and surveillance system is connected
that readjusts the time and date automatically.
