Trimming Frames from a Loop
The yellow bar located in the upper right corner of each quad represents the
length (in frames) of the currently displayed loop. If the
ECG
is properly con-
nected and displayed in the quad, the loop contains 14 frames.
To trim frames from the start or end of a loop, follow these steps:
1.
Turn the
SEL QUAD
knob to highlight the quad.
2.
Press the
END/START
knob to display
End
to trim frames from the end of the
loop, or
Start

3.
Turn the
END/START
knob until the desired frames of the loop are no longer
visible.
NOTE: Trimming frames does not delete the frames—turn the

knob in the opposite direction to display the frames.
