  • Method and computer program product for displaying visual threshold setting indicators and threshold activation indicators
    Patent number: 5936622
    Abstract: A method and computer program product are provided for displaying visual threshold setting indicators and threshold activation indicators with information displayed in a graph on a computer display screen. At least one threshold setting indicator is displayed on a first predetermined screen area. Each threshold setting indicator corresponds to a selected threshold setting. Sequential data parameter values are displayed on a graph on a second predetermined screen area. The data parameter values are compared with each selected threshold setting. Responsive to matching compared values, a threshold activation indicator is displayed on a third predetermined screen area. The first predetermined screen area for displaying visual threshold setting indicators is along a first graph axis, such as the vertical graph axis and the third predetermined screen area for displaying threshold activation indicators is along a second graph axis, such as the horizontal graph axis.
