Changing the Averaging Time

Depending on the monitor configuration, you may be able to change the averaging time for the SpO
values. The averaging time represents the approximate time period used for the calculation. The exact
averaging algorithm depends on the SpO
longer the averaging time, the longer the time needed until the SpO
event. Fast averaging is useful for situations where an extremely fast measurement is required or few
artifacts are expected. Use slow averaging where you expect the number of artifacts to be relatively high.
