2.4 Installing a Probe
Follow the instructions in this section to install a probe on your
DMS Go
.
2.4.1 Connecting the Probe
When connecting a probe to the instrument, the following steps must be taken:
•
Properly complete the physical connection of the probe to the instrument.
•
Properly configure the instrument to work with the connected probe.
The
DMS Go
accepts either a
single-element
probe or a
dual-element
probe.
A single element probe has only one ultrasound crystal. It acts first like a
loudspeaker, converting the electronic pulse into a mechanical ultrasound pulse, then
the same crystal acts at the same time like a microphone, receiving all the echoes,
converting these back into electronic pulses.
