Alternatively, you can also press on a gate. After doing so, the gate will appear with
handles.
Figure 20 - Gate handles
The left arrow, when dragged left or right, will change the starting point of the gate and
its length. The right arrow will allow changing the gate length without changing the gate
starting point. Finally, the cross-arrow handle is used to move the gate with useful
constraints. Move up or down without changing the gate position, or move right and left,
without changing its level.
NOTE:
When a gate is selected, the upper right corner of the A-Scan
view always shows the gate level in FSH percentage
NOTE:
When moving a gate with your fingers, i.e. when you drag it,
the value of the gate level (FSH) is displayed live. This value is rounded
to the nearest 5%. Use the
Gate Level
parameter if you want to set a
gate to any specific level.

set a gate, you must go to the
Gate
menu (1, 2, 3 or 4) to have access to the desired gate.
While in the
Gate
menu, you can set the following parameters, as seen at Table 8.
