Interruption ie. Did not cough.
Once the test has finished the display will
show current test (shown in black – if

the % variation between manoeuvres the
breath rate and an ATS quality warning for
the test session.
'Touch' Again to repeat the manoeuvre,
Reject to reject the current manoeuvre,
Results to display a list of indices,the
values obtained, % predicted where
