SonixTABLET Research Basics

Operational Modes
There are two general modes of operation that the SonixTABLET Research can run; Clinical Mode and Research Mode. Clinical mode puts the system in standard diagnostic mode without any research capabilities, and Research Mode puts the system in a mode where special parameters and imaging modes can be accessed. To switch between the two modes, ensure the following steps are performed:
 * Press Q button on the console to enter the QSonix screen
 * Click Select Protocol
 * Choose the Research protocol, which will layout the touchscreen appropriately
 * Press the Research button (the button with the magnifying glass) on the touchscreen to toggle the research mode



When Research Mode is active:
 * The message Investigational Use Only will be displayed on the ultrasound image
 * The system software will look like a Microsoft Windows™ application with a title bar and minimize/maximize/close buttons
 * The Microsoft Windows™ desktop is active for use like a PC

When Clinical Mode is active:
 * The system software will cover the entire monitor and access to the Microsoft Windows™ desktop will not be possible
