Abstract
An ultrasound imager supports several ultrasonic transducers simultaneously. The imager polls the transducer connection ports to determine which transducers are connected to which port and displays attributes of each transducer in conjunction with a port identification on the screen. The user selects which transducer is to be driven using a trackball or cursor arrow which directs an indicator to point to the selected transducer.
