ABSTRACT:
A method for conveying control information in an ultrasound system is provided. The method provides unique identifiers for the processing components in a beamformer of an ultrasound system. The method formats control information into at least one packet based on a packetized protocol, the control information relating to beamforming operations carried out by the processing components. The method conveys the control information to the processing components.
