Storage

The CP 20 manages storage in one of two ways – automatically or manually. When the Auto Save
configuration option is enabled, ECGs are automatically saved upon acquisition and printing. However,
when the Auto Save configuration option is disabled, upon completion of acquisition, a prompt is presented
as follows and saving the ECG record is at the user's discretion.
NOTE: If Auto Save is enabled, but the ECG is not printed, the user is prompted to save.
TIP: Manual Save is possible by selecting Save (F5) in the Acquired ECG View.
