Harmonic Fusion 
(Rotary Control)
Selects the Harmonic Fusion setting when Harmonic 
Fusion is on. Changes are reflected in the Harmonic 
Fusion icon and on the process line displayed at the top 
left corner of the screen in Cardiac presets. Not 
available when the image has been frozen using the 
 key.
Harmonics Plus Boosts BMode image sensitivity and provides 
enhanced Harmonics when the s3 transducer is in 
Harmonic Fusion settings 1, 3, and 4. May reduce the 
display frame rate.
Magnify Increases or decreases the magnification factor of an 
image in Zoom or Zoom Preview modes.
LGCs (Lateral 
Gain Controls)
Each of the eight sliders adjusts the amplification of 
returning signals within a specific lateral 2D/BMode 
image area. Available only with sector and curvilinear 
array transducers.
Postproc Affects the softness and brightness of grayscale images 
stored in memory, according to visual preference. The 
curve you select affects both real-time and frozen 
images, but does not affect video playback images.
Secondary 
Controls
Switches between the primary and secondary touch 
panels. When the control is highlighted, the secondary 
touch controls are active.
Soft Echo 
Enhance (Touch 
Control)
Activates soft echo enhancement imaging, which may 
enhance visualization of low-level ultrasound signals 
from normal anatomy and pathology. The Soft Echo 
Enhance icon reflects the soft echo enhancement 
setting and the transducer frequency range. Frequency 
Fusion and Harmonic Fusion are unavailable when Soft 
Echo Enhance is on.
Soft Echo 
Enhance (Rotary 
Control)
Select the soft echo enhancement setting when Soft 
Echo Enhance is on. Settings A to C automatically 
adjust transmit power, persistence, dynamic range, and 
post-processing to provide increased sensitivity.
