Exactly what I was getting at - so you do agree this is
useful and the always-visible top panel would be a suitable
place ?

The area you suggest comes to mind most easily but offers
little space, even less when one or more patient tags are in
effect. Hence I wonder whether a dedicated (, third) line
ought to be added to the top panel to hold measurements ?
