13.1.3 Volume measurement with two-axis method
Function: measures the volume of the target object. The method only needs to measure the vertical
section of the target object.
Formula of two-axis method: (π/6) × A × B

°
)
Operation steps:
1. Move the cursor to

key;
2. At first draw line along one hand of the measured angle, referring to the “Distance” measurement;
3. Then draw line along the other hand of the measured angle, referring to the “Distance” measurement.
Finish the measurement, the included angle of two lines and their length show on the right side of the
screen;
4. Repeat the steps from 2 to 3 to measure for several times.
13.1.5 Histogram measurement
Function: measures the grey distribution of ultrasonic echo signals within a closed region, and indicates
with histogram. The target region needs enclosed with ellipse. Histogram is only measured on the frozen
image.
1. Freeze a valuable image;
2. Move the cursor to the
