button and the Trackball. Roll the Trackball upwards

to view the lower portion of the image, and vice versa.

To observe the right/left portion of the image, move

the Trackball to the left/right. Press Exit button or

Zoom button to exit Zoom mode.

Frequen-

-cy

This is used to change the frequency of a probe

supporting multi-frequency. Press it to change the

frequency setting. If the frequency of the currently

selected probe is a ‘General’ one, it displays as ‘GEN’,

and the higher and lower frequencies are displayed as

‘RES’ and ‘PEN’, respectively.

Audio

Doppler Mode.

Angle

This is used to adjust the angle of sample volume in

PW Spectral Doppler Mode. It is also used to adjust

the Indicator angle or the Probe angle of Body Marker.

Chapter 2. Introduction and Installation 2 - 13

Baseline

This is used to raise/lower the baseline in Color

Doppler Mode and PW Spectral Doppler Mode. Raise/

lower the switch to raise/lower the baseline.

Speed

This is used to adjust the Sweep Speed in PW

Spectral Doppler Mode or M Mode. Press this button

to cycle through the various speed options.

Scale

This is used to adjust the speed of blood flow (or

frequency) range in Color Doppler Mode, Power

Doppler Mode and PW Spectral Doppler Mode.

Raising/lowering the switch expands/reduces the

speed range (frequency).

Filter

This is used to adjust Wall Filter values in Color

Doppler Mode, Power Doppler Mode and PW Spectral

Doppler Mode. To increase/decrease the Wall Filter

values, raise/lower the switch.

Invert

This is used to invert the color bar in Color Doppler

Mode, and to reverse the axis (speed or frequency) in

PW Spectral Doppler Mode.

TGC(Time

Gain Control)

Six slides are used to adjust TGC (Time Gain

Compensation) values.

CAUTION

Care should be taken when adjusting TGC values. Too large

difference in the gain value settings of two adjacent slides may lead

to inaccurate image generation.
