Figure 5-4 The Mid Processor
This block performs the adequate signal conditioning for Tissue and Doppler. This block is implemented
in FEC only.
• BEAM SUMMING: adds the beam data from the two OQ Card banks (3 each) to make the one scan
vector in FEC (Front End Control) ASSY.
• COMSO: makes the B / I / Q image data by filtering, enhancing, LOG compression, envelope
detecting and so on.
• PCI-to-PCI Bridge: transfers the image data from COMSO through PCI DMA channel into PC main
memory.
• SH-4: is in charge with real time control for scan operation and safety.
