Screen Settings, to define the selection and appearance of elements on each individual Screen
Measurement settings, to define settings unique to each measurement, for example, high and low
alarm limits
Monitor settings, including settings that affect more than one measurement or Screen and define
general aspects of how the monitor works, for example, alarm volume, reports and recordings, and
display brightness.
You must be aware that, although many settings can be changed in Monitoring Mode, permanent
changes to settings can only be done in the monitor's Configuration Mode. All settings are reset to the
stored defaults:
• when you discharge a patient
• when you load a Profile
• when the monitor is switched off for more than one minute (if
Automat. Default is set to Yes).
Changing Measurement Settings
Each measurement has a setup menu in which you can adjust all of its settings. You can enter a setup
menu:
• via the measurement numeric - select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. For
example, to enter the
Setup ECG menu, select the HR (heart rate) numeric.
• via the Setup hardkey (on plug-in modules) - press the Setup hardkey on the module front.
•via the
Main Setup permanent key - if you want to setup a measurement when the measurement is
switched off, use the
Main Setup permanent key and select Measurements. Then select the
measurement name from the pop-up list. With this permanent key you can access any setup menu
in the monitor.
• via the Measurement Selection key.
This guide always describes the entry method using the setup menu. But you can use any method you
prefer.
Switching a Measurement On and Off
When a measurement is off, its waves and numerics are removed from the monitor's screen. The
monitor stops data acquisition and alarming for this measurement. A measurement automatically
switches off if you disconnect its module or MMS. If you disconnect a transducer, the monitor
replaces the measurement numeric with question marks. If in this situation alarms are paused or
switched off, the measurement in question may be switched off completely, depending on monitor
configuration.
1 Enter the measurement's setup menu and select the measurement.
2 Select the measurement name to switch between on and off. The screen display indicates the active
setting.
Switching Numerics On and Off
For some measurements, such as EEG, you can choose which numerics to view on the screen.
In the measurement's setup menu, select the numeric name to toggle between on and off.
For example in the
Setup EEG menu, select the EEG numeric name to toggle between on and off.
