4. Push to set the rate and go back to the ECG: Performance screen.
To change the amplitude:
1. Push or to highlight the Amplitude value.
2. Push .
3. Push or to adjust the amplitude. Each push of a key increases or decreases the
amplitude 0.05 mV between 0.05 and 1.00 mV and 0.25 mV above 1 mV to 5.00 mV
in the direction of the key pushed.
4. Push to set the rate and go back to the ECG: Performance screen.
How to Set R Wave Detection Values (ProSim 8 only)
To sense a heartbeat, a monitor looks for R waves. The sensed R wave is used to
calculate heart rate and other analysis. You adjust the R wave to find the range of values
a heart monitor can sense a heart beat. The R wave is a simple triangular pulse.
To output a signal for an R Wave detection test:
1. Push to show the ECG screen in the display.
2. Push or to highlight the Wave Group value.
3. Push .
4. Push or to highlight the R Wave Detection value in the wave group list.
5. Push to show the ECG: R Wave Detection screen in Figure 11 in the
display.

The rate, amplitude, and width of the R wave can be changed. To change the rate:
1. Push or to highlight the Rate value.
2. Push .
3. Push or to highlight 30, 60, 90, 120, 200, or 250 bpm in the list.
