2.1.2 Operation Principle
The fundamental operation principle of the main unit:
The Probe Interface Board receives transmit excitation signals from the Digital Processing
Board and generates transmit high-voltage pulse through high-voltage drive circuit. The
high-voltage pulse then is transmitted to the working elements of the probe to generate
