Special Imaging Modes
11-18
You can perform the iScape panoramic imaging feature on B real time images using all
linear and convex transducers.
CAUTION:
iScape panoramic imaging constructs an extended image from
individual image frames. The quality of the resulting image is
user-dependent and requires operator skill and additional
practice to become fully proficient. Therefore, the
measurement results can be inaccurate. Exercise caution
when you perform measurements in the iScape mode. Smooth
even speed will produce optimal image results.
NOTE: The measurement error is within ±5% in the iScape mode.
