Simulate A Cardiac Catheterization Procedure - Fluke Biomedical ProSim 8 User Manual

You can go back a step when you push the Previous softkey. The Product
simulates that step for a full 15 seconds before it does the subsequent step.
When you push the Previous softkey while paused, the Product goes back a
step, but stays paused and sets the time to 15 seconds.
