General Information: Preset Functions
Preset Functions
The ultrasound system includes programmable presets that configure the system for best imaging
results in a particular situation. Activating a preset initializes system settings to values that are
optimal for a chosen exam. The factory installed software includes several presets, tailored to
different applications. The user can define as many as 20 additional presets in each of 8 exam
types, to adjust system variables (including acoustic power) to any required configuration.
For specific information regarding the configuration and use of presets or other features of the
system, see the online Help file.
NOTE Backing up presets to a floppy disk safeguards them and preserves the operator’s
preferred configurations. If preset configurations are subsequently changed, they can be
quickly restored from the backup copy, without having to reset them manually. Keeping
a backup copy also eliminates the need to manually reconfi gure the presets after a
software upgrade. See “Backing Up and Restoring Presets” on page 143 for the
procedures to back up and restore presets.
