To select Manual Start-Stop Scan, press 3 on the console keypad. For this preference, there are no set-
tings to adjust, as starting and stopping of the scan is manual, by pressing the Next button on the
pod. The speed of the scan between fields of view is the Auto Start/Stop speed setting. Press the

ting will now be used during this login session and will be saved to the user preferences profile at
logout.
Note:
If the speed is too fast or too slow, change it by changing the speed setting in Auto ST/SP.
Note:
Refer to the preferences worksheet at the end of this chapter, when evaluating and recording
preference settings.
