Doppler Controls (cont’d)

HPRF—Allows the operator to enable or disable the High Pulse
Repetition Frequency function while in Doppler Mode.  Not available in
the CWD Soft-Menu.

Rejectn—Allows for the elimination of low level echoes from the display.

CFM/PWD Ratio—Used to set the velocity ratio between PWD and
CFM.  Active in triplex mode.  Not available in the CWD Soft-Menu.

CFM Shrink—Reduces the CFM window to specified size.  Not available
in the CWD Soft-Menu.

Realtim Trace—Automatically traces in real-time.

Calc Dir.—Choose which part of the Doppler Trace is used for automatic
measurements/calculations.

Trace Method—Choose the method used to trace the Doppler
waveform in real-time (Peak, Floor, Mean or Mode).

Dynamic Range—Controls how echo intensities are converted to
shades of gray, thereby creating a range of gray scale that can be
adjusted.
