The NT200 is a digital color image acquisition module designed to transfer color
or monochrome image data from video based medical imaging systems to
printers and medical workstations.
Image information is transferred to the printing device via removable storage
media (Magneto-Optical Disks or MOD), usually for mobile applications.
About This Manual
This manual contains the necessary instructions for installing and configuring the
NT200.
It is divided in the following sections:

Safety
Observe the following safety precautions when installing and using the NT200.
Dangerous voltages are present in many system assemblies. The unit should
be used only in rooms that comply with recommendations concerning
electrical safety when used for medical purposes (as stated in NEC, Title 21
CFR, and UL 2601-1).
Never use the equipment in the presence of flammable anesthetics, gasses or
vapors. Some disinfectants and cleaning agents vaporize to form explosive
mixtures, and if such agents are used, the vapor must be allowed to disperse
before the equipment is returned to use.
Always disconnect the equipment from its electrical supply before cleaning or
disinfecting in the near vicinity of the equipment. For routine cleaning, wipe
the outside of the cabinet with a damp cloth. To disinfect, use a suitable
germicidal disinfectant. Do not spray the cabinet, as this could allow water or
other liquids to enter the equipment, causing short circuits or corrosion.
The use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent safety
requirements of the NT200 may lead to a reduced level of safety of the
resulting system. Any patient environment equipment connected to the NT200
must comply with UL2601-1 and IEC 601-1 requirements. Equipment outside
the patient environment shall only be connected to the NT200 if it complies
with the relevant UL and EN/IEC Standards.
The symbols marked on the equipment denote the following:
Consult accompanying documents. Give special consideration to the
Operator’s Manual and Service Manual information marked with this symbol.
Dangerous voltages are present within the cabinet. Never attempt to repair
the unit. Only trained personnel may remove the cover of, or otherwise obtain
access to the system components. There are no user serviceable parts.

Applications
The NT200 is designed for both stationary and portable applications. The images
from the image source (ultrasound equipment) can be stored on a removable
magneto-optical disk (MOD). The MOD is hand-carried to a print server for
printing.

Base Unit
The Base Unit is the box containing the main electronics of the NT200, including
the CPU and video processing boards. The Base Unit also houses the MOD
Drive and/or the Network Option (the NT200 must have one or the other
installed).
MOD Drive
The MOD drive supports both 128 MB and 230 MB MODs. The number of
images that can be stored on a disk depends on the recorded image resolution.
NOTE: The use of 128 MB MODs is recommended for compatibility with print
devices.
Remote Keypad
The Remote Keypad has 12 keys and a 2 line x 20 character display. Every
operation on the NT200 is enacted from the Remote Keypad.
The display in the Keypad can show the current image number (exam number,
sheet number, and image number on that sheet), setup menus and parameters,
and system messages and errors. See Figure 2.
Introduction
Figure 2
The keys have different functions depending on the current operation being
performed. Keys that can affect the current operation or state will be backlit
(active keys). Pressing a key that is not backlit has no effect.

A flashing key indicates an operation that is in progress (the last digit of the
image being displayed on the remote keypad also flashes) such as Storing (the
[STORE] key flashes) or Recalling (the [RECALL] key flashes) an image.
Dual Foot Switch
Separate optional foot switches are used to trigger color or B&W image storage
operations.
Functional Description
The NT200 captures an image from the imaging source at the command of the
operator. The operator interfaces with the NT200 via either a remote keypad
and/or Dual Footswitch.
If the image is stored on a MOD (disk exam), the disk can be hand-carried to the
appropriate print device or to another NT200.
The NT200 also provides a video output port for connecting a video monitor. If a
video monitor is connected, it will show the same image that is in the NT200 input
(Live Mode) or the stored image (Recall Mode).

Installation
The installation of the NT200 depends on the options the unit is fitted with. In
general, units can be connected directly to the Ultrasound equipment, since it will
calibrate itself for optimum acquisition.
Check that the following accessories were shipped with your NT200 unit. If any
part is missing, contact your sales representative.

calibration if autocalibration fails, or to set up the unit for video values other than
totally black and totally white.
Before starting manual calibration, display in the imaging equipment an image
that contains totally black and totally white regions. Usually test patterns are
adequate for this task. (Or display an image that contains the most white and the
most black regions desired.)

Sync Parameter Adjustments For Print Troubleshooting
The sync parameters determine how the images are printed.
NOTE: The monitor connected to the NT200 output might compensate for a less
than optimum sync parameter value. Adjust the sync parameters using
printed images rather than recalled images.
The sync values for the horizontal parameters are in pixels. The sync values for
the vertical parameters are in number of lines. Improper sync numbers can cause
unstable images, images cropped at any edge, excessive blank space at any
edge, or characters with fuzzy edges.
The

values to optimize the image. If the manufacturer and/or model of the imaging
equipment is not listed, follow the adjustment procedure using the default values
as a starting point. See Figure 21.

Vertical Sync Parameters
Total of lines (VT)
This parameter defines the number of lines on the monitor. There are two
standards for the number of lines:
•USA systems, which operate at 525 lines (HT=525). This standard
usually applies to any country where electric current is at 60 Hz.
•European systems, which operate at 625 lines (HT=625). This standard
usually applies to any country where electric current is at 50 Hz.
The relationship is: (2 • V
) + VA + 8 < VT.

This parameter defines the top edge of the image. The default values (factory
