Lower setting reduces the color flow data overlay of the
image data.
Transmit Power Controls the maximum acoustic output of
the transducer. Settings range from 5% to 100% of maximum.
Use the lowest setting consistent with diagnostic quality. The
current mechanical index (
acoustic output setting are displayed with the System Data.
