1. A physiological monitor comprising:
- a touchscreen display; and
a hardware processor configured to;
cause presentation of;
a first interface construct operable to select a menu item from the touchscreen display, the first interface construct comprising;
a first scroller that presents a rotating set of menu items in a first touchscreen display area; and
a second scroller that presents a rotating set of thumbnails in a second touchscreen display area, wherein the thumbnails reference the menu items and the thumbnails rotate with the menu items;
a second interface construct configured to define values for a selected menu item;
a spinner used in conjunction with the second interface construct for making a first gross limit selection followed by a finer limit selection with the spinner, wherein the spinner comprises a first tier and a second tier for selecting the finer limit selection;
a parameter area for displaying parameter values in a full presentation format; and
a parameter well area for displaying parameter values in an abbreviated presentation format, the full presentation format being larger than the abbreviated presentation format; and
dynamically allocate space for the parameter values presented in the parameter area such that the fewer parameters in the parameter area and the more parameters in the parameter well area, the larger the display for the parameters in the parameter area.

7. A physiological monitor touchscreen interface method for customizing a physiological monitor comprising:
-
defining a virtually rotatable menu scroller; receiving a flick to a first icon on the menu scroller so as to spin the menu scroller; receiving a touch to a second icon on the menu scroller; in response to receiving the touch to the second icon on the menu scroller, causing presentation of; a second interface construct configured to define values for a selected menu item; and a spinner used in conjunction with the second interface construct for making a first gross limit selection followed by a finer limit selection with the spinner, wherein the spinner comprises a first tier and a second tier for selecting the finer limit selection; receiving a touch to a thumbnail within a thumbnail scroller; in response to receiving the touch to the thumbnail within the thumbnail scroller, opening a menu selection; receiving a touch to the menu scroller or the thumbnail scroller; in response to receiving the touch to the menu scroller or the thumbnail scroller, causing presentation of; a parameter area for displaying parameter values in a full presentation format; and a parameter well area for displaying parameter values in an abbreviated presentation format, the full presentation format being larger than the abbreviated presentation format; and dynamically allocating space for the parameter values presented in the parameter area such that the fewer parameters in the parameter area and the more parameters in the parameter well area, the larger the display for the parameters in the parameter area. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A physiological monitor comprising:
-
a touchscreen display; and a hardware processor configured to; cause presentation of; a first scroller that presents a plurality of menu items under finger control across a first parameter display area of a touchscreen display; and a second scroller that presents a plurality of thumbnail items within a second parameter display area of the touchscreen display, the second scroller rotating in response to a rotation of the first scroller; receive a touch to a first menu item on the first scroller; in response to receiving the touch to the first menu item on the menu scroller, cause presentation of; a second interface construct configured to define values for the first menu item; and a spinner used in conjunction with the second interface construct for making a first gross limit selection followed by a finer limit selection with the spinner, wherein the spinner comprises a first tier and a second tier for selecting the finer limit selection; receive a touch to the first scroller or the second scroller; in response to receiving the touch to the first scroller or the second scroller, cause presentation of; a parameter area for displaying parameter values in a full presentation format; and a parameter well area for displaying parameter values in an abbreviated presentation format, the full presentation format being larger than the abbreviated presentation format; and dynamically allocate space for the parameter values presented in the parameter area such that the fewer parameters in the parameter area and the more parameters in the parameter well area, the larger the display for the parameters in the parameter area. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
