General Instructions
You can take measurements in all modes and image formats,
including real-time, frozen, CINE, or VCR playback. After you
select an exam category, the available calculations are
displayed on the Touch Panel.
Measurement and calculation results
As you take measurements, each measurement is given a
sequential number on the display and in the Results Window.
The system can display nine measurements on the screen at
one time.
While you are taking a measurement, the value in the Results
Window updates until you complete the measurement.
Once the Results Window has nine measurements, if you make
any further measurements, the system erases the first
measurement and adds the new measurement ("first in, first
out").
Selecting a calculation
When you take measurements, you can select the calculation
before you take the measurement or after you take it. For
example, in Obstetrics, if you select the calculation before you
take the measurement, the estimated fetal age is displayed as
you take the measurement. If you select the calculation after you
take the measurement, the estimated fetal age is displayed after
you complete the measurement.
NOTE: After you take a measurement, if you select a calculation and
the measurement is not applicable for the calculation, then the
system assumes you want to start the calculation. The system
then uses the calculation for the next measurement.
