METHOD OF DISPLAYING MULTIPLE NON-INTERACTING LAYERS OF PATIENT DATA USING A SINGLE PLANE VIDEO SCREEN

摘要

A method and apparatus of displaying multiple layers of patient data, including waveform data and background data, using a single plane video monitor is claimed. A patient waveform is generated on the display of a video monitor. A background display data array is generated for producing a background display on the video monitor. At least a portion of the background display data array is copied to the video monitor such that the background display is regenerated at substantially the same time as the patient waveform is generated on the video monitor.
