Frequency Some transducers are capable of employing second har-
monic imaging. Second harmonic imaging uses a lower
transmit frequency and a higher receive frequency. Har-
monic imaging can improve image quality and edge defini-
tion for difficult studies.
 To turn Harmonic ON or OFF, press the FREQUENCY
knob. The default state is
ON.
 To adjust the Frequency, press the FREQUENCY knob.
Harmonic is
ON when “Harmonic” is displayed with the Sys-
tem Data in the top left corner of the screen; Frequency
can be adjusted when “Frequency” is displayed with the
System Data. See “Cypress System Data” on page 5-9 and
Table 14 on page 5-10.
Sweep Adjusts the sweep speed of the spectral display. Select a
sweep number from 1 to 4 where the selection is the num-
ber of seconds. For example, Sweep 1 is a 1-second
sweep; Sweep 2 is a 2-second sweep; etc.
