1-1-5 System History - Hardware and Software Versions
The newest generation of the Vivid™ 3 (BT03) ultrasound unit is based on its predecessor, the
Vivid™ 3 (BT01 and BT02) ultrasound unit, and is therefore backward compatible. The Vivid™ 3
ultrasound unit enables advanced features in a compact and user friendly tool.
Note: Vivid™ 3 (BT00) cannot be upgraded to the Vivid™ 3 Pro 03 as was the case for Pro 02.
The Vivid™ 3 Pro and Vivid™ 3 are the same generation of products, but differ in their functionality,
enabling customers to receive some of the advanced Vivid™ 3 features. With minor software and hardware
modifications, the Vivid™ 3 Pro can be upgraded to the Vivid™ 3 - refer to
Table 1-4 .
1-1-6 Purpose of Operator Manual(s)
