Overview

This section provides a technical overview of system functions. The discussion focuses on the

main functions and features of the system’s PC, circuit boards, and power distribution. Main

system functions are also shown in the functional block diagrams at the end of this section.

The M2540A’s internal PC replaces the back-end electronics used in earlier ultrasound systems

to handle display processing. The beam processor/acoustic processor (BPAP) board handles the

acoustic and beam processing front-end functions.
