Range
The Dynamic Range, or log compression, adjusts how echo
intensities are converted to brightness. A high dynamic range
will display more shades of gray, while a low dynamic range will
display fewer shades of gray and a more contrasty image.
Tint
The Tint control changes the color tint being used on Contrast
image.

The Gray Map adjusts the post processing map used on the
Contrast image. In general, higher map numbers correspond to
more contrast in the image.
