Transducers

Setting the Default Transducer and Preset

you have set a default transducer and it is connected, then the system initializes that
transducer. For information on setting a default transducer, see "Setting the Default Transducer
and Preset" on page 174.
If multiple transducers are connected when the system is turned on, the system selects the
transducer that was in use when the system shut down. You can select among the connected
transducers during system operation. If the system does not recognize a transducer, it will
switch back to the original transducer. Disconnect and reconnect the unrecognized transducer
or move it to a different receptacle.
You can select or deselect a transducer during live imaging without damaging the transducer or
the system.
1. Touch the transducer name to select it.
2. Touch the clinical application preset that you want to use.
After you select the clinical application/preset, the system calibrates the transducer, enables
the transducer for operation, and updates system status to reflect the transducer type and the
preset you selected.
Setting the Default Transducer and Preset
You can set a default transducer and preset so that each time the system is turned on, that
transducer and preset are initiated automatically. The system selects the default transducer
regardless of which receptacle it is connected to. If the default transducer is not connected
when the system is turned on, the system initiates the transducer connected to the left-most
connector and the first available preset for that transducer.
1. Touch the name of the transducer you want to use.
2. Touch the preset you want.
3. Touch the transducer name a second time.
4. Touch Set Default.
