To delete or edit a measurement
 Withthe measurementactive(highlighted),
dooneofthefollowing:
•Todelete,presstheDeleteknob.
•Toedit,usethetouchpadtomovethe
calipers.Youcaneditonlydistanceand
area/circumferencemeasurements.
To place calipers more precisely
 Doanyofthefollowing:
•Adjustthedisplayformaximum
sharpness.
•Useleadingedges(closesttothe
transducer)orbordersforstartingand
stoppingpoints.
• Maintainaconsistenttransducer
orientationforeachtypeofmeasurement.
•Makesurethatthe areaofinterestfillsas
muchofthescreenaspossible.
• Minimizethedepth,
orzoom.
2D measurements
Youcanperformacombinationofdistance,area,
andcircumferencemeasurementsatonetime.
Thetotalnumberpossibledependsontheirorder
andtype.
To measure distance
Distanceismeasuredincm.
1 Onafrozen2Dimage,press Calipers.
Apairofcalipersappears,connectedbya
dottedlineandlabelledA.
2 Usingthetouchpad,positionthefirstcaliper, 
andthenclick.
Theothercaliperbecomesactive.
3 Usingthetouchpad,positiontheothercaliper.

,and
Circumferenceisincm.
1 Onafrozen2Dimage,press Calipers.
2 Press Ellipse.
3 Usethetouchpadtoadjustthesizeand
positionoftheellipse.Clickingtoggles
betweenpositionandsize.

To trace manually
1 Onafrozen2Dimage,press Calipers.
2 Press Manual.
3 Usingthetouchpad,positionthecaliper
whereyouwanttobegin,andthenclick.
4 Usingthetouchpad,begintracing.
Tomakeacorrection,press Undo.
5 Completethetrace,andthenpressSetor
