Figure 7-7 Echo-To-Echo Measurement Example - Olympus EPOCH 650 User Manual

Gate tracking maintains a constant separation between the position of the indication
in the first gate and the start position of the second gate. With this dynamic mobility,
the tracking gate is always positioned where you want to measure other indications.
When gate tracking is active, the start position value of the tracking gate (the second
gate involved in the measurement) defines the separation between the gates, not a
fixed start position.
To make echo-to-echo measurements with gate 1 and gate 2
1. Activate both gates by selecting Gate 1 > Status = On and Gate 2 > Status = On.
2. As shown in the example of Figure 7-7 on page 131, position gate 1 over the first
echo to detect, and then position gate 2 over the second echo to detect.
The Gate 2 > Start position defines the separation between the position of the
indication in gate 1 and the start of gate 2.
3. Set gate 2 as the tracking gate by selecting Gate Setup > G2 Tracks = On.
