3. The heart-rate setting identified on the LCD screen is active when displayed and

remains active until the setting is changed. (Adjusting the BPM rate does not affect

simulations for arrhythmias, which set their own rates.)

Alternatively, in the Numeric-Control Mode, press the number keys for a heart-rate

setting according to Table 2-1, and select RUN:

Adjusting the ECG Amplitude

Most waveforms are sent to the ECG using the selected adjustment (QRS height) for

amplitude. (ECG amplitudes are used only as a reference during arrhythmia simulations.)
The MPS450 offers a selection of twenty preprogrammed amplitude settings (Lead II):

0.05 to 0.5 mV (0.05 mV steps) and 0.5 to 5.5 mV (0.5 mV steps). This amplitude setting

applies to all ECG waveforms except performance waves and R waves, each of which

has its own amplitude settings.

Action in the Menu-Control Mode

1. Press the top-menu key labeled NSR. (The top-menu screen for NSR displays

automatically whenever the MPS450 is turned on.)

2. Select SEL to toggle to the screen for adjusting ECG amplitude (bpm/AMPL), with

AMPL in upper-case letters.

3. To adjust the ECG amplitude, select DOWN or UP.
4. The ECG-amplitude setting identified on the LCD screen is active when displayed

and remains active until the setting is changed.
