5.8 Printing ECG
Select the period of ECG for printing using the left-mouse. A context menu opens, select Print
ECG.
Accept the Operator Selected Event tag for the event or enter one of your own by selecting Print
Strip (default). Pathfinder SL will auto-scale to the best print scale, although the operator can
change the scale as required.
For full scale ECG strips you can also select to include all channels or what is displayed on screen.
5.9 Periodic Strips
The Periodic Strips function allows the analyzer to automatically create an ECG strip for each
hour of the recording. The purpose of these strips is to allow the operator to easily print
examples of normal underlying ECG.
The analyzer will create an ECG strip for the first 8 seconds in each hour of the recording where
no other event with the exception of the following events occurs:
• Sinus Rhythm
• Maximum Heart Rate
• Minimum Heart Rate
• Maximum Sinus Heart Rate
• Minimum Sinus Heart Rate
• Patient Diary Event
• Patient Event
If no such 8 second period exists in the hour then no Periodic Strip will be created for that hour.
Periodic strips will not be automatically marked for printing, but will be displayed in the filtered
event list view.
The operator can select the Print all events button or choose individual strips to add to the report
by selecting them and clicking Print.
