•via the Main Setup SmartKey - if you want to setup a measurement when the measurement is
switched off, use the Main Setup SmartKey and select Measurements. Then select the
measurement name from the popup list. With this SmartKey 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 measurement server. If you disconnect a transducer, the
monitor replaces the measurement numeric with question marks.
1 Enter the measurement’s setup menu and select the measurement.
2 Select the measurement name to toggle 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.
Adjusting a Measurement Wave
♦ To quickly adjust wave-related measurement settings (such as speed or size), select the
measurement wave itself. This displays the measurement
Wave menu, which has only wave-
related measurement settings.
Changing Wave Speeds
Lowering the wave speed compresses the wave and lets you view a longer time period. Increasing the
speed expands the waveform, giving you a more detailed view.
The monitor distinguishes three groups of wave speed settings,
• RespiratorySpeed, for all respiratory waves: CO
2
, Resp. anesthetic agents and O
2
• EEG Speed, for all EEG and BIS waves
• Global Speed, for all waves not included in the other two groups.
Changing the Wave Group Speed
The wave speed group setting defines the speed of all the waves in the group.
To change the wave speed of a wave speed group,
1 Select Main Setup -> User Interface
2 Select Global Speed, RespiratorySpeed, or EEG Speed as required
