BITE B-Scan presentation
The BITE B-Scan presentation shows the time series of samples for each ME70 transducer element. The elements are organized in a numbered order.
The B-Scan presentation allows you to monitor the information provided by each and every transducer element from the time of transmission until the echoes fade away. The channels are laid out side by side in the BITE dialog box. Using the parameters provided, you can study the channels starting from any selected sample and then include any number of samples.

For this illustration, the vertical channel presentation in the BITE dialog box has been rotated 90 degrees.
A This is the first sample.
If you start your investigation with this sample, you will also see the powerful transmit pulse, which ends at position (B).
B This is the end of the transmit pulse.
How many samples the transmit pulse covers depends on the chosen transmission mode and pulse length.
C This is the largest part of the presentation, and shows the echo information received by the channel.
The visualization of the echo starts from the chosen start sample, and follows through the number of samples you have selected.
D Samples are used to extract information from the analogue stream of echoes.
Note that the width of each sample has been greatly exaggerated to visualize the principle!
E This is the last sample that you can observe.
In the B-Scan presentation, each element in the transducer is shown as a long coloured vertical rectangle. If you place the cursor on top of one of these rectangles, a small yellow tool-tip will identify key information about the channel.

•  The identification of the transceiver board
•  The current sample you are looking at
•  The measured echo value (in dB)
