
Do any of the following:
• Adjust the display for maximum
sharpness.
• Use leading edges (closest to the
transducer) or borders for starting and
stopping points.
• Maintain a consistent transducer
orientation for each type of measurement.
• Make sure that the area of interest fills as
much of the screen as possible.
• (2D) Minimize the depth, or zoom.

2D measurements

The basic measurements that you can perform in
2D imaging are as follows:
• Distance in cm
2
• Area in cm
• Circumference in cm
You can also measure area or circumference by
tracing manually.

48 Measurements
You can perform a combination of distance, area,
circumference, and manual trace measurements
at one time. The total number possible depends
on their order and type.
To measure distance (2D)
You can perform up to eight distance
measurements on a 2D image.
1 On a frozen 2D image, press the
A pair of calipers appears, connected by a
dotted line.
2 Using the touchpad, position the first caliper,
and then press the
The other caliper becomes active.
3 Using the touchpad, position the other caliper.
If you move the calipers close together, they
shrink and the dotted line disappears.
