Introduction

ImageStation Z is a softcopy production system that allows the user to view and process color imagery. It features a D-sized digitizing surface and (using specially-designed glasses) stereoscopic viewing.
ImageStation Z is based on an Intergraph TDZ workstation, and includes furniture and other equipment to comprise the complete system. It also includes separate documentation to guide you in setting up the Intergraph TDZ workstation and assembling the KI workstation furniture.
This document describes how to install the hardware and software for an Intergraph ImageStation Z system, and how to adjust and troubleshoot an ImageStation Z installation. It also contains a brief description of image compression and decompression operations.
WARNING Only Intergraph field service personnel may perform the installation procedures in this
document.
CAUTION To successfully install the equipment, read all of the instructions carefully before proceeding with the
installation.
The following figure shows the components of an ImageStation Z system.

Equipment Cautions

Note the following cautions when installing and using ImageStation Z hardware:
u
The digitizer table work surface is a non-load bearing surface. Damage to sensitive parts may occur if used for purposes other than intended.
WARNING Do not sit or lean on the digitizer table during or after assembly. Failure to heed this warning
may result in equipment damage.
u
The stereoscopic glasses are fragile. Handle them carefully. When not in use, store the glasses in the box they came in or another suitable container.
u
Do not immerse the stereoscopic glasses in water or other liquids. Consult the documentation delivered with the glasses for more information on the care and cleaning of the glasses.

Assemble the Cyborg Chair

Assemble the Monitor Table

Remove the monitor table from the packing box. Refer to the documentation delivered with the KI workstation furniture for detailed instructions for assembling the monitor table.

Assemble the Digitizer Table

To assemble the digitizer table:
1. Remove the digitizer table top assembly from the packing box. Remove all packing materials. Place the table top assembly face down on a carpeted floor or on the packing materials.
2. Install the peripheral equipment module (PEM) bracket onto the underside of the digitizer table top. Place the PEM bracket upside down with the open side of the PEM bracket facing away from the table top. Install the four #5x 0.75-inch Phillips wood screws to mount the bracket to the table top.
NOTE Position the angled side of the bracket toward the front of the digitizer table top.
3. Remove the digitizer stand from the packing box. Remove all packing materials and place the digitizer stand on the digitizer table top.
4. Refer to the documentation delivered with the KI workstation furniture for instructions for securing the digitizer stand to the digitizer table top.
5. Turn the assembled digitizer table upright.
6. Push the handle grommet into the opening for the height adjustment handle, and then install the handle.

Install the Base Unit and Keyboard

Remove the TDZ workstation base unit and keyboard from their packing boxes. Refer to the TDZ
system’s hardware documentation for setup instructions.

Install the Monitor

WARNING The monitor is extremely heavy and could cause serious personal injury if dropped. Two
persons are required to lift and mount the monitor into place.
Remove the monitor from the packing box and place it on the monitor table.

Install the Interface PEM

The interface PEM is the electronics interface for the two-handed controller and the digitizer table.
To install the interface PEM:
1. Remove the interface PEM and its power cord from the packing box. Temporarily place the interface PEM on top of the digitizer table in preparation for connecting the cables to the PEM.
