CHAPTER 8

Patient SOS Measurement

Table 8.4 Measurement cycle start/end buttons    

Button

Function

Start/
Restart/
Next Cycle

Click to begin the cycle. The elapsed 
time indicator starts running. However, 
other indicators will become active only 
when the probe is applied. 

Before the first cycle, the button is 
labeled 

Start

. Before all subsequent 

cycles it is labeled 

Next Cycle

. Within 

the cycle, the button is labeled 

Restart

. 

Clicking on the button during a cycle 
restarts the cycle, deleting all acquired 
SOS values for that cycle. Other cycles 
which have been completed remain 
intact.

NOTE: 

The action of the foot-pedal is 

equivalent to clicking this button, and is 
recommended. It allows your hands 
freedom to hold the probe continuously 
at the measurement site without inter-
ruption.
