Viewing Vitals Data
In the main Vitals Lite window, vitals data values for
the selected patient are displayed on the right side of the window in
a graph (top) and a grid (bottom). The time scale runs from left to right,
displaying the most recent values on the far right.
You can select a date range and a type of graph to narrow
down the amount of data to be displayed, and you can also print the graph.
To customize the graph display, see Setting
Graph Options.

- Click a predetermined time frame from the box on the left of the
graph. Today displays today’s data only, T-1 displays
data for today plus one previous day, T-7 displays data for
today plus seven previous days, and so on. All Results displays
all available data for the selected patient.
- Click Date Range to set a customized date range, then select
"Start with" and "Go to" dates.
All data within the selected date range is displayed in the graph and grid.
