IRECTION KTI106052, REVISION 10  SERVICE MANUAL
Chapter 5 - Components and Functions (Theory) 5-11
5-2-4-4 D-Mode Autotrace (draws PC-calculated envelope to D-Spectrum)
1.) RBI
- PRF-generator; see: 5-2-4-1 B-Mode
- After DC-cancelling the signal is mixed with RX-Frequency and brought to LF-Spectrum, 
where the LowPassFilter cuts HF. 
Mixer and Magnitude-Calculator arrange Complex Demodulation.
a.) DMA section
D-mode-Data from RBI is written via SP1 into SDRAM Fifo Buffer memory.
PC calculates Autotrace-Curve from D-Mode data.
Cine Mode with Autotrace: Cine Mode-Memory for the Autotrace-Curve is inside PC-Memory.
Software has to take care that D-Spectrum and Autotrace-Curve are placed exactly one upon 
the other, means: have the same Cine-Shift.
2.) RBF
