Abstract
Systems and methods for generating low level configuration data from high level configuration data at a probe connector of an ultrasound probe are provided. The method includes receiving, from an ultrasound machine by at least one connector processor located in a probe connector of an ultrasound probe, high level configuration data. The method includes processing, by the at least one connector processor, the high level configuration data to generate low level configuration data. The method includes providing, by the at least one connector processor via a probe cable to at least one probe processor disposed in a housing of the ultrasound probe, the low level configuration data. The method includes causing, by the at least one probe processor, transducer elements of the ultrasound probe to transmit ultrasound beams and convert received echoes to ultrasound signals based on the low level configuration data.
