#### Carrying out Measurement

Once the patient data have been entered and the artery to study has been selected, the exam acquisition screen will be shown.
Place the probe on the patient's skin, at the Artery, and begin the examination.
Select the following icon or press the "Enter" key: file recording will begin in text format (ASCII), with a maximum duration of 24 hours.
The recording in progress is indicated by the counter of the past seconds.
To stop recording, select again the previous diskette icon or press the "Enter" key or the "Space" bar.
In the case of the Carotid Artery, the operator must insert the values of Systolic blood pressure (bSBP) and Diastolic blood pressure (bDBP) measured at the Brachial Artery level during the pulse wave recording by means of a validated sphygmomanometer.
Save the blood pressure values, selecting "OK"
After peripheral pulse wave recording (Femoral Artery, Radial Artery, Brachial Artery, etc.), in addition to the values of Systolic and Diastolic pressure, the insertion of distances is required:
a) CAR-PER, Carotid-to-peripheral Artery (Femoral, Radial, Brachial, etc.) direct distance
b) CAR-sSN, Carotid-to-Suprasternal notch distance
c) sSN-PER, Suprasternal notch-to-peripheral Artery (Femoral, Radial, Brachial, etc.) distance
Warning ! Insert distance values in mm.
Save the blood pressure and distance values, selecting "OK".
Select the icon "Measurement" to take another exam.
