recting the Trace or Area outline is the same. Press the <

BACKSPACE> key to
continuously erase the path of the cursor until the <
BACKSPACE> key is
released.
Stopping a Measurement Before Completion
 To stop a measurement or sequence of measurements and return the cursor
to the currently displayed Calculation menu, press the <
ESC> key before
completing the measurement.
 To stop a measurement or sequence of measurements and exit the Calcula-
tion package, press the
CALC key before completing the measurement.
Setting the Trace Resolution
The Resolution feature defines the spacing of the dots used to form the trace
outlines. To change the resolution, follow these steps:
1. Press SETUP, double-click the Calculations heading, and highlight Mea-
surements.
2. Specify resolution settings in the 2D Area and Doppler Trace boxes. Using
the Resolution pull-down menu, select a number from 1 to 8. A lower number
specifies a more vivid resolution (i.e., more dots); a higher number specifies
a less vivid resolution.

Menu.
 At any time, press the PATIENT function key and click the Reports tab.
