MEDEX Processing System. Volume 2. Software

This volume contains the information necessary to understand and operate the computer programs supplied with the MEDEX PROCESSOR. The documentation is organized into three parts. The first provides a description of each of six processing options open to the user which are as follows -- 1. automatic calibration, 2. beamforming, 3. editing, 4. output of selected tables to paper tape, 5. output of the programs to paper tape, and 6. output of the master accumulator table to paper tape. The first two options are of a more analytical nature and as such are discussed in greater length than the more administrative routines 3-6. The second part of the documentation is a set of detailed flow diagrams of the more analytical programs and subroutines. The more administrative type routines are basically IO type routines with little, if any, of the mathematical foundation inherent in calibration of beamforming. Consequently, diagrams for these, beyond the generalized level already provided, are superfluous. The final part of the documentation is a complete set of profusely annotated listings, separately bound and provide with program titled index tabs.
