You can display real-time settings by Probe type and create your own Exam Type with the
system settings you prefer.
User Exam Soft Keys:
■ DELETE: deletes User Exams from the system.
■ RENAME: allows you to edit the name of the User Exam; names are limited to nine
characters.
■ ACTIVATE: makes the highlighted Exam the active Exam Type.
Creating a new User Exam Type
1. During real-time scanning, select one of the pre-loaded factory Exam Types — not a User
Exam Type; User Exams are prefaced with the letter “u” (for example, “u Cardio1”).
2. Change the system real-time control settings, such as Depth and Gain, that you prefer for
the exam type you are creating.
3. When you have specied the settings you want, touch the Exams Soft Key, then select
Save Exam. The settings will be saved with the name “u Exam” followed by a number.
You can then rename the Exam in the SETUP / SETTINGS / USER EXAMS page.
NOTE: If you are unable to create new User Exams, you may have exceeded the number of User
Exams the system allows. The system stores a total of 64 User Exams. Delete unused User Exams so
new ones can be created.
Updating a User-Dened Exam with New Settings
1. During real-time scanning, use the Exams Soft Key to activate the User Exam you want to
update.
2. Change any of the control settings (e.g., Gain, Depth).
3. Select Save Exam.
