ECG Monitoring Setup
9650-001355-01 Rev. M X Series Operator’s Guide 6-7
The X Series unit is configured to display Pads by default for the top trace. If configured, the
unit can also display four ECG traces on startup, when no other monitoring devices are
attached.
The are two ways to specify which ECG lead is the source of the primary waveform trace. One
way is to press the ECG lead selection quick access key to display the available ECG
waveform sources. The available waveform sources are determined by the type of ECG cable
connected to the unit.
The other way to specify the source of the primary waveform trace is to navigate to and select
the source label for the primary ECG waveform (Lead
l in the screen below). The X Series unit
then displays the available ECG waveform sources. The following example illustrates the
waveform source list that the X Series unit displays when a 5-lead ECG cable is connected to it.
The list of available ECG waveform sources includes Leads
I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, and V. You
can select Lead
lI (the default), or use the navigation keys to highlight and select another
displayed ECG lead as the source for the waveform trace.
Select a current waveform source, and the unit displays the waveform immediately. If you
select a waveform source that is not currently available, the unit displays the message, LEAD
FA U L T .
For more information on how to configure the display of waveforms on the X Series unit, see
Chapter 3, Monitoring Overview.
