At a frequency of 1 Hz<br />

In this case the CW probe is operated with<br />

a frequency modulation of 1 Hz for 2 seconds.<br />

With equal on and off times, power<br />

output is only half the time, so the energy<br />

output is halved.<br />

At a frequency of 2 Hz<br />

In this case, the continuous wave prove is<br />

modulated at 2 Hz, so the energy output is<br />

exactly the same as for 1 Hz operation.<br />

If you operate your CW probe with<br />

frequency modulation, the energy<br />

output is always halve compared to<br />

the continuous wave mode – independent<br />

of the magnitude of the frequency<br />

modulation. If you want a higher<br />

energy output, you must increase<br />

the treatment time or select a continuous<br />

wave program. If you want a<br />

lower energy output, you must decrease<br />

the treatment time or lower<br />

the power output.<br />
