4-4-7-4 Measurements in Spectral Doppler Mode
NOTE: The Spectral Doppler image is displayed based on time (X-axis) and velocity (Y-axis).
4-4-7-4-1 Auto Trace
1.) Press the CALIPER
key.
2.) Select AUTO TRACE
item from the menu area on the left side of the screen.
It traces the Spectral Doppler image automatically and displays the results.

4.) Select the TRACE
channel of the envelope curve (upper, both, lower).
5.) If necessary, select the Angle and the Baseline.
6.) Press the right or left trackball key
SET to finish the measurement.
Before you complete the measurement:
- To readjust the start cycle (vertical yellow line), press

Press
SET (right or left trackball key) to fix the line.
- Press the
CHANGE key again to readjust the end cycle (vertical green line).
Press
SET to fix the line.
NOTE: The determination of the envelope curve requires a clear and low-noise record of the Doppler
spectrum. Otherwise the reliability of the displayed measurement results may not be ensured!
4-4-7-4-2 Manual Trace
1.) Press the CALIPER
key.
2.) Select the MANUAL TRACE
item from the menu area. A cursor appears on the screen.

item from the menu area. A line appears on the screen.
3.) Move the line with the TRACKBALL
to the start point of the period and press SET (right or left
trackball key). A second line appears.
4.) Move the second line to the end point of the period.
5.) Select the number of “HR cycles” for the measurement with the digipot.
6.) Press the
SET (right or left trackball key) again to fix the line. The Heart Rate is displayed.
