Menu Overview
Main Menu
The MAIN MENU—"FUNCTION SELECT"—offers eight main function groups, from
which all other selections are made.
The eight main function group menus are discussed in detail in the MENU
SELECTIONS section later in this chapter.
Located at the end of this chapter is a condensed listing of these menus.
Movement through Menus
When a menu choice is made by pressing the function key directly below the displayed
selection (<F1>, <F2>, <F3>, or <F4>), the display changes to show the menu for that
choice.
Using the function keys creates downward movement through the menus, one level at a
time. Pressing the <up arrow> moves back up through the menus, one level at a time.
Executable Parameter Values
At the lowest menu level are the executable parameter values. These executable
parameter values are indicated in lower case letters, such as, "baseline bpm - 30, 60, 80,
120, 160, 200, 240, 300"; while the other menus are presented in upper case letters: for
instance, "ECG - BASE, PERF, ARRH, PVC, PACE, INS".
A flashing display indicates that a selection is active. If an illegal key is pressed, three
quick beeps sound.
Some functions save the values in nonvolatile memory (EEPROM). Such a save is
indicated by a single long beep after a short delay.
Step Menus
Several functions have step menus. Step menus allow for stepping, either manually or
automatically, through the available parameter values.
Setting the parameter for the ECG baseline amplitude exemplifies how a step menu
functions. To illustrate—from the FUNCTION SELECT MENU:
1. Press <F1>-ECG, then press <F1>-BASE, and then press <F2>-AMP.
Your display now appears like this:
