5.5.2. M-mode Image Optimization
The following touch controls can be used to optimize the M-mode image.
Switches between grayscale and colorized (pseudo-color)
postprocessing maps.
Adjusts the current postprocessing, either grayscale or tinted.
The Dynamic Range, or log compression, adjusts how echo
intensities are converted to brightness. A high dynamic range
will display more shades of gray, while a low dynamic range will
display fewer shades of gray and a more contrasty M-mode
display.
The focus position set in B-mode applies to M-mode as well.
Upward presses move the focus shallower, regardless of the
U/D invert status of the M-mode. Downward presses move the
focus deeper.
Sweep adjusts the sweep speed of the M-mode strip. Options of
Slow, Low, Med, High and Fast are available. Upward presses
increase sweep speed. Downward presses decrease sweep
speed.
