About the Probe
Probe Orientation
The probe index marker is the side of the probe where the probe on/off symbol is located. This
corresponds to the ACUSON “a” symbol next to the image display. The probe model numbers,
such as “L8-3” also serve as index markers. For transducers in non-cardiac applications, the
normal and default location of the on-screen index marker symbol is to the left of the image.
