General Measurements 3-3

Spline 1. Select [Spline] from the drop-down list of [TLength] in the menu, and the measure cursor appears on the screen. 2. Move the cursor to the starting point of the spline. 3. Press <Set> to set the starting point of the spline. 4. Move the cursor along the target and press <Set> to set the second, third … reference points (12 at most). The reference points are joined with smooth curves. To correct a previous point, press <Back>. 5. Press <Set> twice to set the end point of the spline.

Parallel

Function: Measures the distance between every two line segments of up to five parallel line segments. Operations: 1. Click [Parallel] in the menu, and then two lines perpendicular to each other appear on the screen. The intersection is the starting point of the line segment. 2. Rotate the Multifunctional Knob to change the angle of the lines and press <Set> to confirm. 3. Move the cursor to the starting point of the line segment. 4. Press <Set> to set the starting point of the segment and the first line. 5. Move the cursor and press <Set> to set the other four parallel lines. When the last parallel line is set, the end point of the line segment set. During the measurement, press <Set> twice to set the last parallel line and complete the measurement.

3.1.7

B-Profile

Function: Measures the gray distribution of ultrasonic echo signals on a line. B-Profile must be measured on the frozen image. Operations: 1. Click [B-Profile] in the menu and the cursor appears on the screen. 2. Refer to the method for distance measurement to set a line segment.

Descriptions of the parameters in result window: z z z z z

No: Number of the result window, the last two results will be displayed on the screen. Gmax: The maximum gray. Gmin: The minimum gray. Gmean: The average gray. Gsd: The variance of gray.
