Sonix RP Basics

Using the Sonix RP system is generally quite simple once the functions and basic concepts have been learned.

Operational Modes
There are two general modes of operation that the Sonix RP 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, press the RESEARCH key, which is located on the upper left part of the console.

When Research Mode is active:
 * 1) The RESEARCH key will be lit orange
 * 2) The system software will look like a Microsoft Windows™ application with a title bar and minimize/maximize/close buttons
 * 3) It will be possible to access the Microsoft Windows™ desktop, including the start menu and taskbar

When Clinical Mode is active:
 * 1) The RESEARCH key will be lit blue
 * 2) The system software will cover the entire monitor and access to the Microsoft Windows™ desktop will not be possible
