Wireless connection quality indicator (continued)
The ‘Wireless connection quality indicator’ provides a visual
indication of the connection quality between the probe and the
app during scanning. An unstable connection may result in loss
of image quality or slow image update during real time imaging.
Probe temperature indicator and thermal management
The ‘Probe temperature indicator’ tracks and displays changes
in the operating temperature of the probe during scanning.
Factors affecting probe temperature are:
•
Transducer: Curved array transducer gets warm more
quickly than linear array due to higher power consumption.
•
Preset: Certain presets like Abdominal and cardiac ha
ve
h
igher power requirements depending on the image setting
s
cau
sing the probe to warm up faster than other presets.
•
Mode: Operating in Color flow mode warms up probe faster
than Black and white mode.
•
Length of scan: Duration of continuous scanning.
• Ambient temperature: Higher ambient temperatures can
cause the probe to warm faster.
