Selecting an Operating Mode
When powered on, the system automatically displays in 2D-mode. You can
change modes by pressing the appropriate control or key located on the
control panel. Selection of A-mode, full-screen M sweeps, and full-screen
spectral Doppler waveforms is accomplished using LCD selections.
Use the system presets to display the 2D image simultaneously with the
M-mode sweep or Doppler spectrum when M-mode or Doppler is selected.
If you do not activate the bypass cursor display selection in the system
presets, the system displays the 2D image with the cursor when M-mode or
Doppler is selected and you must select the control a second time to display
the sweep or spectrum.
