Acquisition Selections
Continuous stages display views on the menu only if the View control is enabled in the Stress
Echo system configuration dialog box. For non-continuous stages, or phases, the menu lists the
phases and views of the selected protocol. At the beginning of acquisition, the system expands
the first phase to list its constituent views; all other phases are contracted. The system expands
the next phase in the sequence once images have been acquired for each view in the current
phase.
