images.
Cycles to Average No The average value over a number of cycles (from 1-5).
Trace Sensitivity No Adjust the trace to follow the waveform for signal strength.
Trace Direction No Specifies trace direction.
Display Format No Changes the horizontal/vertical layout between B-Mode and

Yes When you select Simultaneous, everything is live. Simultaneous
includes duplex and triplex. For example, it is duplex if both
B-Mode and PW Doppler Modes are active; it is triplex if B-Mode,
PW Doppler Mode, and CF Modes are active.
If Simultaneous is not selected, use Set/ B Pause to toggle
between modes.
Continuous Wave
Doppler (CWD)
