9-8 VS2000 Vital Signs Monitor Operation Manual
If you selected the automatic mode (AUTO) for NIBP measurements (instead
of MANUAL or STAT), the monitor will measure the patient's NIBP periodically,
according to the interval you select (2, 3, 5, 10, or 30 minutes, or 1, 2 hours).
The time remaining until the next measurement will be displayed in the
parameter box.

seconds) if you do not deflate it.
