P067 Choose Peak (Software Revisions from 3.6.0) 
 
 
This parameter is used to determine which echo is selected for processing. 
DATEM software will detect all valid echoes i.e. all peaks that exceed DATEM 
plus the Loss Limit Values (P81 & 82). The peak then chosen for processing will 
be selected according to option chosen as detailed below.  
Options:  1 = Best 
   2 = Largest 
   3 = First 
 
Best  
The first echo that appears above DATEM, plus the Loss Limit, will be weighted 
according to the factor set in P049 Scale First (Default =40%) the peak then 
chosen for processing will be the echo with the highest resulting peak after first  
weighting has been applied. 
Largest 
The echo with the highest peak will be selected for processing, when this option 
is chosen no weighting is applied to the first valid echo. 
First 
When selected, the First valid echo will be selected regardless of any other echoes 
that are present.  
 
P071 Update DATEM 
 
 
This parameter determines whether DATEM is adaptive or not. When 0=No is 
selected DATEM will be used but will not be adaptive and will remain at its last 
known value. If 1 = Yes is selected DATEM will continually update to the 
conditions seen in the vessel and eliminate any echo returns from unwanted 
sources. 
Options: 0 = No 
  1 = Yes
