Abstract
An ultrasound imaging system is provided having an articulated arm for holding a transducer. Signals representative of the angular position of the arm joints are scaled up to a voltage range over which the restricted range of movement of each joint is distributed. The scaled signals are combined to produce a plurality of combined angular signals, which then may be digitized and used to compute the X-Y position of the transducer.
