This test is used for detection of missing channels on Probe Connector Board (PIR) 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.

1.) Connect a probe and then press the FREEZE
key to "run" the live scan (Write Mode)
2.) Select the APERTUR LATERAL MIN
