Image Optimization 5-17 
Steer 
Description
The feature is used to adjust the ROI of color flow with different angles with 
immobility of the linear probe. 
Operation  Adjust through the [Steer] item in the soft menu or menu, or rotate the 
multifunctional knob to adjust. 
Values of steering angles vary by probes. 
Effects  This function is used to adjust the scan angle of linear probes, so as to 
change the angle between the transmitting beam and flow direction. 
Impacts  Steer is available only for linear probes. 
Line Density 
Description
The function determines the quality and information of the image.   
Operation  Adjust through the [Line Density] item in the soft menu or menu. 
There are 2 levels of line density provided: UH, H, M, L. 
Effects  The higher the line density, the higher the resolution. 
Impacts  The higher the line density, the smaller the frame rate. 
Packet Size 
Description
This function is an indication of the ability to detect flow, which is used to 
adjust the accuracy of color flow. 
Operation  Adjust through the [Packet Size] item in the soft menu or menu. 
There are 4 levels of packet size provided, 0 represents no packet size 
control and the bigger the value the higher the sensitivity. 
Effects  The higher the packet size, the more sensitive indication for low-velocity 
flow. 
Impacts  Increasing the packet size will lead to frame rate decrease. 
Flow State 
Description
This function is used for a fast image optimization by providing an 
adjustment of 2 parameters, including scales and filters. 
Operation  Adjust through the [Flow State] item in the soft menu or menu. 
There are 3 levels provided to adjust: L, M, H. 
Persistence 
Description
This function is to adjust the temporal smooth in Color mode to optimize 
the image. 
Operation  Adjust through the [Persistence] item in the menu or the soft menu. 
The system provides 5 levels of persistence adjustment, 0 represents no 
persistence and the bigger the value the stronger the effect.
