The difference is in the measurement procedure. In the advanced mode, measurement of the fat thickness at a site only requires one measurement. In beginner mode you will need to initiate a measurement by clicking on the Measure Point button and then make a minimum of two measurements at each site. If the measurements disagree you will be asked to repeat the measurement until a consistent thickness is measured. We recommend starting out in Beginner mode and when you become comfortable with ultrasound measurements you can use the faster advanced mode.
