    EP 600 Calibration Procedure

    Uploaded by

    gueridi
    The document provides instructions for calibrating an ultrasound transducer using both straight beam and angle beam calibration methods. It involves using calibration blocks and adjusting parameters like pulse width, gain, and zero settings to position echoes at specific locations and depths. The straight beam calibration sets thickness and velocity parameters while the angle beam calibration additionally verifies the refracted angle and calibrates for sensitivity.
