Physiological ECG trace
The physiological module consists of a single connector, which
can accept either a set of electrodes cable or an External-ECG
cable, capable of handling external ECG signals from other
diagnostic ECG devices.
The scanned image that is displayed is synchronized with the
ECG trace. In M-Mode or Doppler, the traces are synchronized
to that particular mode's sweep.
The operator can control the gain, the position and the sweep
rate of the traces using the assignables on the control panel.
Connecting the ECG
The ECG cable consists of a circular connector on one end of
the cable and a triple color-coded electrode connectors on the
other end. Each electrode cable hooks up to the appropriate
stick-on electrode by a color-coded clip type connector.
The color-coding of the electrodes follows one of two standards
that are common in different parts of the world. Refer to the
following table:
AHA (USA) IEC (Europe, Asia)
RA: White L: Yellow
LA: Black R: Red
RL: Green N: Black
