An arrhythmia alarm graph continues to run until a normal sinus rhythm
is again detected, or until you manually stop it at the writer. All other
alarm graphs will run for 20-seconds.
NOTE: To convert an arrhythmia alarm graph to a manual graph, you
must stop the graph using the GRAPH GO / STOP key on the
writer and immediately restart the graph.
The speed at which a graph strip is printed is controlled with this menu
option. The slower the speed, the more condensed the data will be. This
option affects manual graphs only and must be selected before starting the
graph.
NOTE: Alarm graphs always run at 25 millimeters per second.
1. Select the GRAPH TIME/SPEED option from the Graph Setup Menu.
A menu with the two options SPEED and TIMED GRAPH appears.
2. Select the SPEED option. A popup menu opens displaying all choices.
