Probe Controls
Functions in the real-time Control Bar can be adjusted or selected using the controls on the
probe. These controls include the slider, the two circular buttons, and the two buttons in the
middle of the probe.
The slider mimics the function of the large Rotary knob on the console, moving the selection of
the active item in the real-time control knob:
■ To move the highlight up the list, push upward on the slider, away from the transducer face.
■ To move the highlight down, push downward on the slider, toward the transducer face.
The button towards the rear of the probe (away from the transducer) represents Plus , the
button towards the front of the probe (towards the transducer) represents Minus . These mimic
the functions of the inner Rotary knob on the console.
■ Plus corresponds to clockwise rotation of the knob.
■ Minus corresponds to counterclockwise rotation of the knob.
Locking and Unlocking the Probe
Before using the probe controls, you may have to unlock these functions on the probe if you
unchecked the Enable Probe Key and Slider selection in the

page.
NOTE: When the probe is locked, a padlock icon is displayed on the bottom right of
the console screen.
There are two ways to unlock the probe:
■ Slide the probe slider the length of the slider in both directions
■ Press the plus key, then the minus key, then the plus key (or the reverse)
Once unlocked, the controls will lock again after a period of inactivity.
Probe Shortcuts for Save and Color
The two keys in the middle of the probe can be used as shortcuts for the function you select on
the System Administration page. Tap either probe key three times to activate the function.
