2D assignable controls

Controls the size or angular width of the 2D image sector. A

smaller angle generally produces an image with a higher frame

Changes the location of the focal point(s). A triangular focus

marker indicates the depth of the focal point.

Note: On convex and linear probes there are two additional

optional focus controls:

Adjusts frame rate (FPS). The relative setting of the frame rate

is displayed in the status window. When adjusting frame rate,

there is a trade off between spatial and temporal resolution.

Enables the axis of the 2D image to be tilted to the left or right.

By using this control in combination with angle control the

image can be "aligned" to the direction of interest, and frame

rates be optimized. By default the axis of symmetry of a 2D

image is vertical. (Applicable only for cardiology applications).
