More Options:
Edit Parameter
Next, click <new> and highlight the next parameter to be included in the table in
the Parameter window.
Click <Apply> to add the parameter to the table.
The Options window allows to add any parameter as percent of predicted value
or pre value to the table.
For this, highlight the desired parameter (e.g. FVC) in the Parameter window
and check % predicted value in the Options window. It is also possible to
select more than one option.
Other functions:
Highlight Parameter:
To highlight a single parameter a color can be assigned to it. Select the parameter
and then tick Highlight Parameter and choose a color.
Parameter Header:
It is possible to adjust the parameter header for single parameters. Choose
between Use table setting (i.e. as the whole table is defined), short e.g.
FEV1%F or long e.g. FEV1 % FVC.
For detailed information on the table properties see Table Properties in the
Measurement Program.
Sort:
Sorting (i.e. type of display in the Measurement Program and Parameter windows)
can be according to importance or alphabetically.
Edit Formula
This function allows you to generate the column heading and, if desired, a
diagram (e.g. Z-Score) showing the best values in relation to the predicted value
and the standard deviation (SD).
In our example, the next columns should be labeled Tr1, Tr2, Tr3 and Best.
Click <new> and highlight MeasValue in the Formula window.
Click the down arrow in the Trial field to open a window in which the best
value Best and the trials Tr1 - Tr10 can be selected.
Click the arrow pointing to the right twice to add the next trials Tr2 and Tr3
to the table.
As described before, generate the Best heading by selecting it from the Trial
menu.
Screen display:
Term: Meaning:
Visit 3
Visit 2
Visit 1
Level The type of measurement within one visit is indicated by levels. One or
several performed measurement(s) is/are assigned to each level. A visit can
consist of several levels. Each level is assigned the time the level was created.
In this example: The second trial of the first Pre measurement of the
currently loaded visit.
Relative to last:
In this example: The second trial of the last Pre measurement of the
currently loaded visit.
In this example: The first trial of the second to last Pre measurement of
the currently loaded visit.
Level Any level, irrespective of its type (Pre, Post, Test, etc.), but defined by the
index. The index may relate to the first or the last level. Possible index is only
> 1 for rel. to first (rel. to last not ticked) and only < 0 for rel. to
last.
Level - Index 0, rel. to last: the last level of all activated levels,
irrespective of the type
Level - Index 1: the first level of all activated levels,
irrespective of the type
Level - Index -1, rel. to last: the second last level of all activated
levels, irrespective of the type
What does the index mean in detail (rel. to last not activated)?
The level referred to depends on the settings in the measurement program.
In a measurement program, a report can be displayed with or without level
selection dialog.

1.64 SD
If the best values displayed in this diagram do not deviate more than 1.64
SD from the predicted value, the best values are within the predicted area.
Best values greater than their mean value 1.64 SD and smaller than their
mean value -1.64 SD are outside the statistically predicted area.
Defined for the parameter Measured Value 1, which can be set as described
above.
Other functions:
Column width:
Setting of the column width, default: 8 characters
Set as default:
means that all table properties will be set as default for
all reports.
If Use as page default is ticked, the primary table properties (Best, Pre, Tr1...)
will be applied by default to the level selection window for this page. That means
the settings for Pred, Tr1, etc. will be applied to other modules (e.g. diagrams).
Secondary table properties (Best/Ref, Tr1/Tr2...) will not be applied.
If this box is not ticked, alternative settings are possible.
For this purpose, first highlight the column which is to be changed. Select in the
section Formula/Other User-defined.
For the second operand repeat the last step. I.e. click on the next empty line and
click on the pencil again.
Now, a new operand can be defined. In our example the measured best value:
Now, the operands are defined. The next step is to enter the formula.
In our example the formula is Operand 1 (Pred) minus Operand 2 (Level).
For this purpose select the first operand with the number 1 and click on OP.
After that click on the minus sign.
Select the second operand with the number 2 and click on OP again.
Behind Expression the current formula is displayed.
In the end click on the floppy disk to save the new formula and conclude the new
column with <Close>.
Trend Table
This function allows to generate a trend table of the parameters selected for a
certain period of time to be entered.
Click <Trend> to open the following window:
First, enter the period of time to be viewed, e.g. the last 12 months.
Then select the parameters to be displayed in the trend diagram. Highlight the
desired parameter on the left and use the buttons in the middle to determine
whether the selected parameter is to be displayed as measured value, predicted
value or %predicted value in the table. Click <Add> to add the parameters to the
Parameter Selection.
The Options tab allows to choose between the types of table Trend or
Pre/post and to determine whether certain types of measurement such as
provocation series, pre or post measurements are to be hidden.
Calculated parameters:
Mean value means:
The table shows the means value of the selected parameters.
Standard dev. means:
The table shows the standard deviation of the selected parameters.
Var. coeff. [%] means:
The table shows the variation coefficient of the selected parameters.
Please note that a maximum of 10 parameters can be selected for the trend
graph. We recommend not to select more than 6 parameters in order to create
a clearly laid out report.
CPET Table allows to generate various ergospirometry tables. Click the tab to
open a list of options.
It is possible to generate a Time process, a Summary, a Curve Fit or
CPET test data.
The designation of the levels in ergospirometry and their flow-volume curve can
differ considerably depending on whether the measurement has been imported
from JLAB or Vmax or has been performed on SentrySuite itself.
For this reason and in order that a complete output is always guaranteed, the level
handling in an ergospirometry report is different than the one in a lung function
report.
Example:
In the tab General you can select the width of the column.
In the Averaging interval tab you can determine whether the averaging of the
output values is effected over the time or over the number of breaths. The step
size (time in seconds or number of breaths) can be adjusted.
The Output tab allows to select whether data from all measuring phases (i.e.
Rest phase, Warmup phase, Test phase and Recovery phase) or from selected
measuring phases only are to be printed out. It is also possible to set whether
the output is to be performed per averaging interval or only at certain distinctive
moments of the load test.
The Markers tab allows to select which markers in the table are to be output at
the respective point of time.
Marker position allows to select whether and where the markers are to be
positioned.
None No markers are positioned
Between Markers are positioned in the table at the
respective point of time
Example:
In the General tab you can determine the basic layout of the table. Further-
more, you can set whether the measurement parameters are arranged horizontally
or vertically and whether the short or the long versions of the parameters are to be
output.
In the Values at tab you can determine at what time during the test the
selected parameters are to be printed out e.g. during the Rest phase, at VT2, at
the end of the load etc.
Thresholds: The values at the thresholds VT1, VT2, and VT3 which
have been selected in the CPET assessment program; i.e.
the method which has been selected for the respective
threshold (e.g. manual, V-Slope, EqO2).
Markers: The values at the markers which have been set auto-
matically by the load profile or manually during the test.
In the Averaging interval tab you can determine whether the averaging of the
output values is effected over the time or over the number of breaths. The step
size (time in seconds or number of breaths) can be adjusted.
The CPET table Curve Fit is designed for the output of the parameters for the
slopes. See also the Slopes tab in the CPET assessment program.
Example:
The CPET table CPET test data is designed for the output of basic information
on the CPET test. E.g. ergometer, ergometer protocol, date, ambient data etc.
Other Tables
As these partially optional modules are not part of the daily routine of report
generation, they will not be described in this Online Manual.
Graphics

depending on the type of measurements performed.
Example:
The container includes 3 graphics:
1. Standard flow-volume graphic Measurement program Flow-Volume
2. MVV step diagram Measurement program MVV
3. Rocc graphic Measurement program Rocc
If all three measurements have been performed on the patient, the graphics
included in the graphic container will automatically be added to the report.
If one of the measurements has not been performed, the corresponding
graphic will automatically not be displayed in the report. Graphics, parameters
and comments/footer following this graphic will automatically move up in the
report.

Layout Container
The tables included in this container will automatically be displayed in the report
depending on the type of measurements performed.
Example:
The layout container includes 3 tables:
1. Table with parameters from a diffusion measurement
2. Table with parameters form a bodyplethysmography measurement
3. Table with parameters from a flow-volume measurement
If all three measurements have been performed on the patient, the tables
included in the container will automatically be added to the report.
If one of the measurements has not been performed, the corresponding table
will automatically not be displayed in the report. Tables, graphics and com-
ments/footer following this table will automatically move up in the report.
Example of a printout with all 3 measurements: Example of a printout with 2 measurements (without
diffusion):
It is possible to insert a heading for the whole layout container. Example: Insert the
heading PFT Results in the text entry field.
OK Click <OK> to apply the container heading and to open the following window:
Click <Add Group> to add the first table. The following window appears:
Again, it is possible to insert a heading for each table. Example: Insert the heading
Diffusion SB in the text entry field.

AUTO Reports
So-called AUTO Reports are included in the delivery package.
In our example the program Measurement only shows the report AUTOSpir_FVC.
The 4 respective reports (AUTOSpir_FVC_SINGLE, AUTOSpir_FVC_PREPOST,
AUTOSpir_FVC_TREND, AUTOSpir_FVC_PROVO) are no longer displayed in the
program Measurement and cannot be selected directly.
It is important that a report with just one level is assigned to the report called
AUTOname_SINGLE and a report for displaying two levels is assigned to the
report called AUTOname_PREPOST, etc.
For example:
The user selects the AUTO report AUTOSpir_FVC. 2 levels are selected in
the measurement program (e.g. a Pre/Post measurement). The system will
automatically show the report called AUTOSpir_FVC_PREPOST.
