As entries are added to the table, the oldest entries cycle down and off the screen but remain in
memory. However, if a parameter trace below the VS chart is off, the table will automatically
continue to fill downward until it fills the second trace as well.
There are a variety of options that can be selected to determine when vital signs are stored, as
listed below. Each VSC storage option includes a small letter or symbol, which displays to the
left of the time displayed for that entry. Each entry option can be turned ON or OFF depending
on your charting requirements.
