Overview
6-1-1 Purpose of Chapter 6
This section provides references to the procedures required for testing and adjusting the
Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N ultrasound scanner. These tests are optional, and may be used to check the
system for errors.
NOTE: There are no voltage adjustments required.
6-1-2 LCD Display Adjustments and Calibration
NOTE: All adjustments/calibration described in this section will affect the External Monitor LCD display (if currently
connected to the system). Therefore, it is recommended to first make the necessary adjustments on the
Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N system monitor, then manually adjust the External Monitor (using its own
controls), as required.
Overall low image quality or “shades” visible on the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N LCD Display may be the
result of improper monitor calibration. Therefore, adjustments may be made to the Brightness, Contrast
and/or Blue Tint, as required.
Important: LCD Display adjustments should be made in the correct order, as stated in the following
procedures.
NOTE: Incorrect calibration of the Vivid™ S5 N and Vivid™ S6 N monitor may also result in less than optimal
image quality when reviewing images on a DICOM or EchoPAC station.
Access the Calibration Screen by pressing <F4> key (also labeled <LCD>) and then select
<TestPattern> from the soft menu keys.
Then follow the relevant procedure instructions described below.
