Other phased array instruments might display true-depth gates, which appear as
straight horizontal lines on the S-scan image. These gate start and gate end
positions correspond to depths within the test piece, not sound paths. True depth
and sound path gates are only equivalent at the 0° focal law.
Since gates are represented as sound path values, any displayed gate appears as a
curved line on the S-scan image. The gate start position is represented with a single
curved line across all focal laws, and the gate end position is represented with a
second curved line across all focal laws. This gate end position is defined using the
Gate Width parameter.
