Other Controls

Speaker Microphone

Rotating the control adjusts the speaker volume for the system. Pressing
the control turns the microphone on and off during VCR recording.

Transmit Power

Adjusts the transmit power and the corresponding acoustic pressure
delivered through the transducer to the patient. Rotate the Transmit Power
control clockwise to increase the transmit power; rotate the control
counterclockwise to decrease the transmit power.

Depth-Gain Compensation

Adjusts the gain for the 2D image to compensate for weak signals. The gain
range is depth-dependent for the active transducer frequency. Push a DGC
slider control to the right to increase the compensation; push a slider control
to the left to decrease the compensation.
Note: Use the system presets menu to activate the display of the DGC curve and to
specify the default image depth setting for depth-gain compensation.
