Area Description
Dynamic range bar. Indicates the dynamic range of the display. When you acquire data, use the
Dynamic Range control on the control panel to change the range.
Physiological data trace panel. Displays your animal's dynamic heart rate, temperature,
respiration rate and blood pressure data. This information comes from the Advanced Physiological
Monitoring Unit that connects to the Vevo Imaging Station.
Physiological data values
. Appears only on a stored image or when you pause the system. Can
display the numeric values of the animal's heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure and body
temperature.
Cine loop range control
. Appears only on a stored or acquired cine loop. Displays the length of
the cine loop range. The triangular white marker identifies the individual frame number within the
cine loop. You can drag the left and right vertical markers to display only the image frames in that
range.
Physiological live display. Appears in real time during image acquisition and can display the
numeric values of the animal's heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure and body temperature.
This area also displays the
