Warnings
During the exercise, the heart rate, the blood pressure values, the ST values, and the load
values are monitored. To be monitored, the parameter must be activated in the test
procedure data. For more information see Stress test parameters on page 6-25.
When an actively monitored parameter reaches the maximum ratings and destination
values, the system indicates warning messages and repeats them every 2 minutes. The text
of the message is entered in the Comments box. You can overwrite the message by
