The SonixTABLET [http://www.ultrasonix.com/ultrasound-systems/sonixtablet SonixTABLET] is a compact ultrasound system with a 19” touch screen that can be mounted from the ceiling or wall to preserve floor space. This unique system provides the same premium image quality as higher-end Ultrasonix models.

The SonixTABLET system is packaged with an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound_research_interface Ultrasound Research Interface] (URI). The URI is an interface that 
allows for:
*The use of operational modes not available on a purely clinical system
*The retrieval and modification of low-level parameters used to generate ultrasound images
*The acquisition and storage of raw data in a variety of formats

In addition to the URI component, the SonixTABLET Research also has the ability to run special research tools for performing tasks such as:
*Transducer prototyping
*Connecting to the system through a network for parameter setting and data capture
*Low-level ultrasound beam sequencing and control
*Development of commercial ultrasound applications running on the Sonix platform

Here are some quick specifications that the researcher should be aware of before using the device for research:
*Hardware
**128 element [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_sensor transducers] (64 on phased-arrays)
**256 transmit channels (128 on both positive and negative)
**64 receive channels
**80 MHz transmit delays calculation clock
**40 MHz receive sampling clock
**14-bit ADC
*Operating system 
**'''Windows XP'''
*Software 
**Exam '''6.0.x''' 
**SDK '''6.0.x'''
