4. INTRODUCTION
4.2. Recipients
This manual is intended for professional operators. Basic knowledge regarding the use of the software is assumed.
In particular, clinical skills and in-depth knowledge of ECG methods and tests are required to analyse the ECG
tracings.
The tests are stored in SCP format on a local database, inside of which you may perform searches.
The user may view the tests using a PDF viewer. The user can edit and customise the layout of the tracings
with specific commands (speed, amplitude, format, etc.). Commands regarding printing, saving PDF, sending
e-mail, etc. are made available by the viewer.
The ECG tests can be transferred directly by the following Cardioline devices, connecting them to the
computer where ECGEasyApp is installed via a USB cable (for detailed instructions on how to store the ECG
tests on a pen drive, see the user manual of the electrocardiographs).
