Synchronisation of Ultrasound Scanners, Synchronization of External Equipment
Ultrasound research may require the synchronization of ultrasound machines with other equipment. Telemed has developed optional modules to equip the ArtUs EXT-1H, ArtUs EXT-2H and ArtUs CEXT-1H beamformers with this functionality. I/O modules must be ordered separately.
Signals description:

  • Ultrasound Line output - at the falling edge system starts acquiring ultrasound data from tissue for one ultrasound line
  • Ultrasound Frame output - at the falling edge system starts acquiring ultrasound data from tissue for one ultrasound frame
  • Ultrasound Line input - system starts acquiring ultrasound data from tissue for one ultrasound line approximately in 20 us after the rising edge of the signal
  • Ultrasound Frame input - system starts acquiring ultrasound data from tissue for one ultrasound frame approximately in 20 us after rising edge of the signal
  • ScanStart output - system generates logic level "0" in Freeze mode and logic level "1" in scan mode
  • ScanStart input - system starts scan (from new frame) when logic level "1" and stops scan when logic level "0"
