This test is used for detection of missing channels on Dachstein Probe Interface (DPI) or missing
elements on probe, which are typically shown as dark Ultrasound Lines.
NOTE: To distinguish if it is a board problem, or if the probe is defective, it would be helpful to have an additional
probe on site.

key to "run" the live scan (Write Mode)
2.) Select the APERTUR LATERAL MIN
button in the Diagnostics Tool window.
