1.3.5 On-farm timer control
The Easi-Scan Micro-Convex provides a timer which can be used to monitor On-farm time. Its
operation is as follows: Select ‘Timer’ from the main menu. The Timer Sub-Menu will appear with the
following options:
Exit Select this option to exit the menu without making any changes
Start/Stop Select this option to start and stop the timer; a running timer is displayed
in a light grey colour, a stopped timer in a dark grey
Reset Select this option to reset the timer
Display Select this option to switch the timer display on and off
Note: The timer will continue to run even if not displayed.
The timer value is stored on power down and on power on will resume with the same value and settings.
1.3.6 Auto standby mode
The Easi-Scan Micro-Convex has a low power standby mode, which can be enabled by selecting a
duration from the Standby Sub-Menu.
If the scanner does not detect an ultrasound image for the period selected in the Standby Sub-Menu,
then it switches to low power mode. In this mode, the power consumption is halved by using a
non-imaging scan, but ultrasound echoes are continually monitored. On detecting ultrasound echoes
or in response to any button press, the scanner immediately reverts to normal imaging.
1.3.8 Image storage and review
The Easi-Scan Micro-Convex allows the operator to store up to 100 images on the scanner.
To store a frozen image, select ‘Image’ from the Main Menu and Select ‘Store’ from the Image
Sub-Menu, the scanner will then store the image. If a Cattle ID has been entered, the ID will be
overlaid across the top left of the image, and the first five characters of the Cattle ID will form the
image filename. If a Practice ID has been entered, this will also be overlaid on the stored image.
Oncethe image storage memory is full (100 images) newly stored images will overwrite the earliest
stored images.
To review the stored images on the scanner, Select ‘Review’ from the Image Sub-Menu and use the
Up
and Down buttons to page through the stored images. The scanner defaults to reviewing the
most recently stored image every time it is switched off or if a new image is stored. Otherwise it will
return to the last reviewed image during any scan session. Stored images may be uploaded to a PC
using the USB cable accessory – See WARNING and instructions in USB image retrieval below. All
images stored on the scanner may be removed by selecting the ‘Delete all’ menu option available in
Review mode. Select ‘Exit’ from the Image Sub-Menu to leave image review mode.
