Trend Groups
The measurements grouped in trend groups define the trends displayed together in the Vital Signs or
Graphics Trends windows and printed in trends reports and recordings. The sequence of the
measurements in the group defines the order in which they are displayed. Measurements listed between
dotted line separators are displayed overlapping. The trend group All contains all available
measurements, you cannot change the order or selection of this group.
To change the selection of measurements in a trend group, either use the Change Group setting in
the Segment menu or:

more informative.
To set the trend resolution, in the Vital Signs or Graphical Trends window,
♦Select the Select Interval pop-up key and then select the required interval from the list.
Trend Priority
