Trimming Frames from a Loop
The yellow bar located in the upper right corner of each quad represents the
length (in frames) of the currently displayed loop. If the
ECG is properly con-
nected and displayed in the quad, the loop contains 14 frames.
To trim frames from the start or end of a loop, follow these steps:
1. Turn the SEL QUAD knob to highlight the quad.
2. Press the END/START knob to display End to trim frames from the end of the
loop, or Start to trim frames from the start of the loop.
3. Turn the END/START knob until the desired frames of the loop are no longer
visible.
NOTE: Trimming frames does not delete the frames—turn the
END/START
knob in the opposite direction to display the frames.
Save and Label Loops from Freeze Mode
To save and label loops from Freeze mode, follow these steps:
1. Press the PATIENT function key.
2. Click [NEW PATIENT]. Select the stress protocol from the drop-down menu.
3. Press the 2D mode key to save the patient information and exit the Setup
screen.
4. Press the TOOLS function key and click [ROI] to display the region of interest.
5. Turn the PROTOCOL knob to display the Stage and View label of the first loop

TOCOL knob to display RestLAX.
6. Scan the patient and when the best images are displayed, press FREEZE.
NOTE: The Cypress system will temporarily store numerous loops—the
number of loops depends on the patient's heart rate and the amount
of time between the last mode change and when the
FREEZE key is
pressed.
7. Turn the PLAY LOOP Soft Window knob until the best image is playing.
8. Position the ROI.
9. Press Q SAVE or •SAVE to capture the loop. A "1" will appear next to LAX in
the view counter.
