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 />
