Control Panel Lighting

The system provides two levels of lighting on the control panel: when the

ultrasound imaging system is in use, the control panel is back-lit, and when a

control or key is active, the lighting intensity of the active control or key is

increased.

Note: The lighting for the trackball control keys (NEXT, PRIORITY TOOL, UPDATE VIEW,

SELECT) stays constant.

There are four mode controls: 2D, D (Doppler), C (Color), and M. Each mode

control allows you to activate the mode, adjust the gain setting for the

mode, and select additional mode features.

The 2D control is a multi-function control.

Pressing the 2D control activates 2D-mode, deactivates all active modes

other than 2D-mode, and displays the Image task card on the image screen

with the 2D-mode Parameter menu.

Rotating the 2D control clockwise increases the 2D gain; rotating the control

counterclockwise decreases the gain. The gain value displays on the

2D-mode Parameter menu next to the 2D status icon.

Rotating the 2D secondary mode control (outer ring) selects general

2D-mode imaging, Tissue Harmonic Imaging, or Cadence Contrast Agent

Imaging.

The selection is displayed on the 2D-mode Parameter menu next to the

2D status icon:

GEN: General 2D-mode imaging

THI: Tissue Harmonic Imaging

CCAI: Cadence Contrast Agent Imaging

During fourSight 4D imaging, pressing the 2D control cancels acquisition and

displays the fourSight setup selections on the Imaging group box.
