Touch the measurement numeric on the screen to enter the setup menu.
Main Setup Menu
There is usually more than one way to enter a setup menu for a measurement, to change a setting or to
execute a task. Some routes are more direct than others. You can use whichever method you find most
convenient. Which routes are available to you, however, can vary depending on your monitor’s
configuration.
For this reason, this book generally describes entry to a measurement’s setup menu via the
Main Setup
menu, as this route is always available and is not subject to configuration dependencies. You can get to
all setup windows from the
Main Setup menu. You enter the Main Setup menu by pressing the
SmartKeys key, then selecting the
Main Setup SmartKey.

2 Wave/numerics
window
The main measurement numeric and wave (if applicable) are shown
in this window so that you do not lose sight of the current
measurement while making changes in the menu.
3 Status/prompt
message
Status/prompt messages related to the measurement menu are
displayed below the wave/numerics. General status/prompt
messages on the main screen are covered by the measurement setup
menu.
4 Next page arrows The menu may have more than one page, as shown here. Move to
another page by touching these arrows.
5 Measurement menu
keys
Each button has two lines of text. To perform an operation on a
measurement, press one of the keys. Some keys lead directly to a
task. For example, pressing the
Start/ Stop key for noninvasive blood
pressure starts a measurement. Other keys open a pop-up window,
which can have more than one page, from which you make a
selection. Again, using noninvasive blood pressure as an example,
pressing the
Repeat Time key for setting the repetition time opens a
pop-up window from which you pick a time, scrolling if necessary.
