5.6.1 Operation Items
Operation items are a group of easy-to-use functions that allow you to simply operate selected operation objects,
such as an ultrasound image, C ROI and the D cursor, by using the trackball plus clicking the SET button or by
touching the screen.
Only available operation items are displayed in the information display area above the mode button area. At this
time, an item whose function is started rst is displayed rst, with the pointer excluded, and the selected icon is lit.
The pointer is xed and displayed in the leftmost position. In addition, when an item is selected, the color of the item
itself changes on the ultrasound image, indicating that it is active.
There are three ways to switch between operation items.
• Touch or click an icon in the information display area.
• Touch or click an operation item on the ultrasound image.
• Press the F2 button on the mini console to switch between icons, starting from the left end of the array.
