Color Mode controls

Color Mode assignable controls
Horizontal sweep (Color M-Mode only)
Adjusts the horizontal refresh rate of the M-Mode area of the
display.
Scale
Adjusts the repetition rate of the Doppler pulses transmitted to
acquire the data for color flow mapping. The Scale (Nyquist
limit) should be adjusted so that no aliasing occurs, while still
having good resolution of velocities. The Nyquist limit should
be somewhat above the maximum velocity found in the data.
Baseline
Adjusts the color map to emphasize flow either toward or away
from the probe. Baseline is available in both Live and Freeze.
LVR (Low Velocity Rejection)
LVR, also called Wall motion filter, enables the extent of low
Color data pro-
duced by very low
velocity removal to be adjusted.
flow may cause in-
Invert
terference.
Enables the color scheme assigned to positive and negative
velocities to be inverted. Invert is available in live and cine
replay.
Variance
Controls the amount of variance data added to a color display.
Variance enables computer-aided detection of turbulent flow
(e.g. jets or regurgitation). Variance is available in live and cine
replay.
Color maps
Displays a menu of color map options. Use the trackball to
point to a color map and press
map. Each color map is assigning different color hues to
different velocities.
Cineloop (in Freeze, Color 2D mode only)
Allocates different cineloop control functions to the assignable
soft keys.
