Accutome A-Scan Plus Connect User’s Guide
How to Set the Default Capture Mode
The Accutome A-Scan Plus Connect has two methods of capturing the axial
length measurement, the automatic mode and the manual mode.
Automatic
Automatic is where the software determines when the minimum criteria is
found and automatically locks on the signal.
Manual
The manual mode is where the operator depresses the foot switch when an
acceptable pattern is obtained and then the pedal is depressed again to reactivate
the probe.
Selecting the Default Capture Mode
The Accutome A-Scan Plus Connect has a default capture method setting so
that every time you start a new patient, you do not have to select the scanning
mode.
When you start a new patient, the capture mode displayed on the measure
screen will be the default capture mode selected in the option screen.
Using the mouse, position the cursor over the preferred capture method and left
click.
The capture method may also be changed on the measure screen as needed.
Every time a new patient is started the setting will return to default screen
value. See Figure 5-17.
Auto Restart
The “Auto Restart” check box controls the default mode of restarting the
ultrasound measurements after each successful measurement. When “Auto
Restart” is selected the ultrasound measurements will automatically restart after
an auto or manual reading. When “Auto Restart” is not selected users have to
use the footswitch or “Esc” key to restart the scan.
Note: When the Accutome A-Scan Connect is set to the automatic capture, the
instrument will capture when the minimum lock on criteria is met.
Holding the foot pedal down while scanning in the automatic mode will prevent
