Selecting Trend Parameters
The first time you display a patient’s graphic trend, the highest priority parameter
is displayed on the bottom trend graph and the next highest priority parameter is
displayed on the top graph. You can view other trends by selecting them from the
Trend Parameter menu.
Using the Cursor
The graphic trends cursor is a solid, vertical line that moves across the entire
trend graph (refer to Figure 26-1 on page 26-4). The home position of the cursor is
at the extreme right end of the graph. Once the cursor moves from its home
position, the CURRENT VALUES label changes to reflect the cursor’s current
position. The CURRENT VALUES label now displays VALUES at and the time.
These values represent the data acquired from the patient.
Selecting a Time Base
The time base for each trend graph can be set for 2-, 6-, 12-, or 24-hours. The
displayed resolution for each time base is:
Selecting a Scale Size
You can adjust the scale for each parameter. Initially, the system selects a scale
that includes all monitored values for the displayed parameter. You may adjust the
scales using the arrow keys.

• The trend graph continues to update EXCEPT when the cursor
is moved from its home position. It updates again when the
cursor returns to its home position.
• When switching between Graphic Trends and Tabular Trends,
the cursor remains in the same position. For example, if the
cursor is placed on data 2-hours previous to the current time in
Graphic Trends, when moving directly to Tabular Trends, the
screen will display the same time frame, and the corresponding
data column will be highlighted.
2-hours = 1-minute

12-hours = 2-minutes
24-hours = 4-minutes
