The document describes the user interface of an ultrasound device. It summarizes the main display areas including the measurement reading boxes, live-scan area, and flag area. The measurement reading boxes show selectable measurement icons and values. The large live-scan area displays ultrasonic data graphically in different view modes. Flags in the vertical area on the right of the live-scan indicate which functions are active, such as units of measurement or triggered alarms. The document also lists the standard menus and their content for conventional ultrasound mode.

1. The measurement reading boxes at the top-left corner of the software main display,
below the message bar, present the icons and digital values for up to six selectable
measurements (see Figure 3-11 on page 58). Refer to section 3.3.3 on page 71 for
details on how to select measurements and for a description of available
measurements.
