Up/Down
The Up/Down invert control is indicated by an upside-down R. It
toggles the up/down orientation of the image. The TGC also swaps
so the top of the TGC corresponds to the top of the image on the
screen.
FOV
The Field of View control adjusts the image width. Full, Large, Med.
and Small are available. As the image becomes narrower the frame
rate increases.
Steer
This control is only available for linear transducers. It steers the
B-mode image left or right, without moving the transducer. This can
be particularly useful when visualizing needles or other objects that
are enhanced by a perpendicular beam.（in Spatial Compounding,
Trapezoid and Panorama states, steer function is not valid）
Trapezoid
The Trapezoid control activates the trapezoid imaging on linear
transducer. It is a part of the B-mode function and available in live
imaging.
Panorama
The Panorama control invokes the Panorama function. See section
5.1.4 for details.
Image Type
B-mode supports presets for Detail, General, and Penetration. See
section 8.3.1.1 for more information.
Frame rate
Adjusts the tradeoff between frame rate and spatial resolution.
Higher settings provide more temporal resolution.
Dual B
Press to activate dual imaging mode. Dual L activates the live
image on the left side of image field, and Dual R activates the live
image on the right side of image field.
Quad
Press to activate quad imaging mode. Refer to section 5.1.3 Quad
Imaging for details.
3D/4D
Press to activate 3D/4D imaging mode. Refer to section 5.6 3D/4D
mode for details.
Needle
Press to invoke the touch screen menu for Needle Enhancement
Visualization and Needle Biopsy Guide functions. See section 7.5
and 7.6 for more information.
