Vector lnterpolator
The vector interpolator doubles the ultrasound line
density of the displayed sector by inserting an averaged
ultrasound line between each of the real ones. A pair of
FIFO’s are used to retain the previous real line of data
and the current real line of data. While the new
ultrasound line is being written into one FIFO, the
previous line is read from the second FIFO. After the
previous line is read, the FIFO is re-transmitted and
averaged with the new data to create the interpolated
line.
Image Memory
The image memory is organized as a 512 x 512 x 8 pixel

and uses this path for test functions and for writing the

The graphics memory is organized as a 640 x 512 x 4

SERVICE TEST PROCEDURE
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section of the service manual is reserved for storage

of the UltraScan® Service Test Procedure and checklist.
Each time a service engineer visits a customer it is

required that he perform a system checkout on the
customer's Alcon equipment. The checkout is performed
by following instructions written in the Service Test
Procedure, then returning its associated checklist to the
local service support center for filing.
The Service Test Procedure for the UltraScan® is an

independent document with its own part number
(78.40.573), and can be ordered from the local service
support center.
