LOGIQ E9 User Guide
Direction 5454884-100 English Rev. 1
Allowing the machine to transmit acoustic output with the probe
not in use (or in its holder) can cause the transducer to build up
heat. Always lower the acoustic power or freeze the image
when not in use.
When the "Auto Freeze Time (probe selection required)" preset
is selected on the Utility -> System -> System Imaging screen,
the system auto freezes after the time specified (2, 5, 10, 15 or
30 minutes, 1 or 2 hours) of scanning if it detects no change in
the image.
Located on the upper right section of the system display monitor,
the acoustic output display provides the operator with real-time
indication of acoustic levels being generated by the system. See
the Acoustic Output chapter in the Advanced Reference Manual
for more information. This display is based on NEMA/AIUM
Standards for Real-time Display of Thermal and Mechanic
Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment.
