Description
Colorize
Switches between grayscale and colorized (pseudo-color)
postprocessing maps.
Gray Map
Tint
Adjusts the current postprocessing, either grayscale or
tinted.
Dynamic
Range
The Dynamic Range, or log compression, adjusts how
echo intensities are converted to brightness. A high
dynamic range will display more shades of gray, while a
low dynamic range will display fewer shades of gray and a
more contrasty M-mode display.
Focus Pos
The focus position set in B-mode applies to M-mode as
well. Upward presses move the focus shallower, regardless
of the U/D invert status of the M-mode. Downward presses
move the focus deeper.
Sweep
Speed
Sweep adjusts the sweep speed of the M-mode strip.
Options of Slow, Low, Med High and Fast are available.
Upward presses increase sweep speed. Downward
presses decrease sweep speed.
