Select the name of the template you want to create or change. Each recording name is linked to a
recording type, delayed, alarm, realtime, and hi-res trends. Recording names can be changed in the
monitor’s Configuration Mode.
4 Design the template by selecting each menu item and entering the information for the template.
• Recorder: choose which recorder the recording will print to (Local, Central 2-Ch. or Central 4-
Ch. recorder, or a printer (for realtime reports in alarm receording only)).
• Channels 1 - 4: choose which waveform to record in each channel. If the wave assigned to a
recording channel in a particular template is not available when a recording is triggered, the channel
is left blank on the recording strip. The pop-up list of available (currently monitored) waves differs
according to the recording type:
– Realtime, delayed and alarm recordings: the list shows all the currently available waves.
– High-resolution recordings: the list shows all the available high-resolution waves.
In addition to the currently available waves, you can choose from several other settings which make
an automatic allocation when the recording starts:
– Alarm Par will always record the measurement in alarm in the chosen recorder channel
– Primary Lead will always record the current primary lead in the chosen recorder channel
– Secondary Lead will always record the current secondary lead in the chosen recorder
channel
– Agent will always record the currently selected anesthetic agent.
For high-resolution recordings only the Agent setting is available.
• Overlap: define whether the recorded waveforms will be printed overlapping or beside each other.
• Speed:
choose the recording print speed.
• Delay Time: Delayed recordings start documenting on the recorder strip from a pre-set time
before the recording is started. This interval is called the “Delay Time” and can be set as specified in
the table on page 239. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.
• Runtime: see how long this type of recording is configured to run. This setting can only be
changed in Configuration Mode. Continuous recordings run indefinitely.
• Central Config - if available in the General menu, select this setting to use the recording
settings made for the centrally-connected recorder.
Changing ECG Wave Gain
The ECG Gain setting in the General Recording Setup window defines how every
recorded ECG wave, irrespective of template or recording type, will appear on the recorder strip. This
does not affect the displayed ECG wave, or printed ECG reports. To change the ECG gain setting for
recordings,
1 In the Setup Recording menu select General
2 Select ECG Gain.
3 Select the required setting:
– Auto: the wave recording will use the same scale as the ECG wave on the monitor screen
– 5 mm/mV, 10 mm/mv, 20 mm/mV: the wave recording will use a scale of 5, 10, or 20
millimeters per millivolt.
