5.1 Tools Diskette
LUNAR Tools diskettes are not available to the customer. This software is available to LUNAR
authorized representatives only.
The Tools diskettes have three utilities. The software for each utility resides in a separate
subdirectory on the Tools diskette. The subdirectories are named: Tools, Diags and Monitor.
Tools Directory
There are 6 files in the TOOLS subdirectory.
ERRDUMP EXE
CR
FF
PRCONFIG EXE
EDITSCAN EXE
WINDPMI 386
Most of these files are loaded in to the customer's computer when the system software is
loaded.
ERRDUMP.EXE is a program that records LUNAR software activity into a file (ERRLOG.BIN).
The program records entry to and exit from the LUNAR software, errors that may occur during
the operation of the software and what software program was being run when the error
occurred.
The files that are not part of the system software are CR and FF. CR and FF stand for "carriage
return" and "form feed".
The Edit Scan program lets you edit a patient's mandatory and optional information, unanalyze
a file, and change the Scan Type and Side information in femur and orthopedic hip files. These
are instructions for installing and using the Edit Scan program:
NOTE: These instructions assume that the DPX-IQ software is installed on the C Drive in
the \LUNAR subdirectory. If the DPX-IQ software is not installed in this location,
substitute the drive letter and subdirectory in which the software is installed in
place of "C:\LUNAR" in these instructions.

Installing Edit Scan
The Edit Scan file must be copied to the subdirectory on your fixed disk that contains the DPXIQ software.
1. Place the Tools diskette in the A Drive.
2. At the DOS prompt, type:
copy a:\tools\editscan.exe c:\lunar
Press [Enter]. The EDITSCAN.EXE file should now be copied to the C:\LUNAR subdirectory,
and the Edit Scan program is ready to use.
Using Edit Scan
When editing a scan file, LUNAR strongly recommends a copy of the scan file be edited to
protect the original file from damage.
NOTE: The instructions in this section assume the Edit Scan program was copied to the
C:\LUNAR subdirectory. If the program was copied to a different subdirectory,
substitute the name of that subdirectory for "LUNAR" in these instructions.
1. Edit Scan must be run from the subdirectory to which it was copied in the "Installing
Edit Scan" section. Make sure the DOS prompt for that subdirectory appears on the
screen.
If the C:\LUNAR> prompt appears on the screen, go to step 2 to continue.
If the C:\LUNAR> prompt does not appear on the screen, type:
c:[Enter]
Next type:
cd\lunar[Enter]
The C:\LUNAR> prompt should now appear on the screen.
2. At the prompt, type:
editscan[Enter].
3. A message appears asking for the scan file name. Enter the drive letter, the name of
the subdirectory in which the copy of the file is located, and the name of the file. For
example, to edit a copy of Jane Smith's first femur scan (SMITHJ00.F00) with the copy
located in the C:\STUDY subdirectory, type:
c:\study\smithj00.f00[Enter]

is not unanalyzed.
5. When finished editing, press [Home] from the Scan File Editor menu to exit the
program. A message appears asking if you want to save your changes.
