Body Mark allows you add a body mark graphic to an image and indicate the location of the

transducer using a transducer icon on that graphic. The Body Mark function is invoked by pressing the

<Body Mark> hard key on the console. Figure 7-2 shows an example touch screen for Body Mark.

The main portion of the screen shows a grid of body marks that are pre-defined in pre-sets. See

section 10 for details on how to configure these. The bottom portion of the screen shows controls

available while the Body Mark function is active. Table 7-2 gives an overview of these controls.
