graph. The available settings for the volume, Paw, and flow graph
axis are dependent on the set patient type of adult or pediatric.
• Auto automatically adjusts the volume, Paw, and flow axis of the
loop based on the minimum and maximum breath reading
shown in the waveform.
• Linked links the adjustment of the volume, Paw, and flow axis of
the loop graph together. Change one of the scales and the
remaining two scales automatically change based on the one
set scale.
• Indep. allows the axis of the loop graph to be changed
separately for the volume, Paw, and flow axis.
