How do I use compression?
To enable compression, click and hold the ‘Compress’ button in the bottom toolbar. The ‘Compress’ button has an icon of a probe pressing down on an object.

How do I save an image if I am holding the ‘Compress’ button?
Before applying compression, first acquire the optimal view and then lock the virtual probe in place using the ‘Lock Probe’ button. The ‘Lock Probe’ button has a lock icon and turns blue when activated.
‘Lock Probe’ Button
You can now put your physical probe down and the virtual probe will stay in place. This will free up your scanning hand for the next step.
Next, while holding down the ‘Compress’ button, tap ‘F' key on your keyboard to freeze the image. This will freeze the image with compression enabled.
Using the ‘Compress’ Button While Lock Probe is Activated
The 'F' key on your keyboard acts as a freeze/unfreeze hotkey, even when compression is not enabled.
From there, you can annotate and save the image as usual.
