A. Tabs: Each imaging mode that is active has a tab at the top of the touch screen. Usually, the

imaging mode that was most recently activated is the top tab and has priority. Pressing on any

other tab will bring it to the top and provide access to the controls available for that imaging

mode.

B. Paddle: Pressing on the top or bottom of a paddle changes the control setting by one value.

Pressing anywhere on the control and swiping across it will continuously change the value.

Each touch screen page displays at most six paddles. Below each paddle there is a knob on

the console used to change its setting.

C. Push button: This can either be an on/off control (like “Colorize”) or a one-shot control that

immediately performs an action (like “-60/0/60” in PW mode).

D. Radio Buttons: A collection of buttons where only one is active at any time. Activating one will

de-activate all others.

E. Pages: When a tab has multiple pages of controls, each page is represented by a dot at the

top of the page. The current page is indicated by a filled-in dot. You can move between pages

by dragging your finger horizontally across the dots. These dots do not appear when there is

only one page in the current tab.

F. Function Shortcut Key: The left side of the touch screen displays five shortcut keys for

accessing different imaging modes or functions. The function of shortcut key 1 to 6 can be

configured on System Setup page. See section 11.1.1 for details.
