II 3478 Installation and Set-up Manual

1 General

This manual describes how to install and setup the KODAK Network ID Camera herein called KNIC. This includes anything from installation to setting-up what the picture printed on the film should look like, which language for the display, to how it should communicate with a booking system.

This manual is written for software version 2.1 and it is assumed that language is set to English. Note that you may select language to English which causes all texts to be displayed in English, but still select country to the country you are in to get countrydependent information, like date format and PID number, correct.

2 Installation

2.1 Unpacking

Check that the cardboard box is undamaged and has no holes or deep scratches. Any damage must be reported to the transport company or the supplier whenever it can be suspected that the camera has been damaged during transport.

The box contains the camera, an operator’s manual in local language and the power cord. The keyboard should be equipped with the country dependent keycaps. If the power cord and the country dependent keycaps are not packed with the camera, they are delivered in a separate box.

2.2 Installation Details

After unpacking the camera it should be placed on a steady table or shelf. If the camera is operated in mobile units like mammography screening buses, or where there is a risk of the camera falling down, it should be fastened to the surface with two screws mounted from the inside of the camera through two holes in the bottom plate with suitable screws.

The power cord should be connected to the power receptacle on the backside of the camera and to wall outlet.

No voltage selection is necessary, the camera can be operated at any nominal voltage from 220 VAC to 240 VAC.

Kodak AG Stuttgart 4/99

Installation and Set-up Manual II 3478

Check with customer that the keyboard has the local used keycaps. Country keycap sets can be ordered as spare parts if needed.

Caution

The KODAK Network ID Camera is classified as Information Technology Equipment according to EN 60950.

According to European Safety Regulations for Medical Equipments, the following conditions must be fullfilled:

- if the camera is operated within a distance of 1.5 m from the patient, it must be connected to the equipotential equalization device (E2D). E2D with cable must be provided by the customer. The purpose of the E2D is to ensure that all medical and other equipments are connected to the same ground potential.

- if the camera is connected to a Medical Equipment according to EN 60601-1( e.g. safety ground or data connections) the safety standard EN 60601-1-1 has to be met and documented.

E2D plug - Connector for the cable comming from the equipotential bushbar.

3 Setup

This section describes how the set-up of the camera is done. It assumes that the operator is familiar with the camera.

3.1 Getting into setup mode.

Make sure the camera displays the main window which is the window that comes up after the initial screen with the Kodak and Triacon logo. The window shows:

Date: 031197 Time:15:45:48

Selected cassette : Standard, C1

Manual Booking Memory Cass type

To get into setup mode now, press Shift F4 (the right soft-key while holding any of the two shift keys down). A new window will appear asking for a password.

Two passwords are available where one does not give access to all parameters. The first password LANEX is intended for Kodak personnel. It gives access to all settings. The other password KELP is intented for Key Operator and will only allow to change the

picture and communication set-up.

Use password LANEX . Do not give any of these two passwords to the customer.

The KODAK Network ID Camera will remember the password for about 15 minutes and will not ask you for the password again, if you exit and then enter set-up mode again within 15 minutes. This is to eliminate the need to re-type the password every time you leave setup mode to test a configuration.

3.2 Resetting to factory default

Get into configuration mode as described in chapter 3.1. Then press Ctrl-E. This will reset the memory of the KODAK Network ID Camera and restart the camera just as if you were switching the power on again. Go to chapter ”Settings” to find out how to change the language of your preference.

Choosing this selection will present five new alternatives.

Picture Standard, C1 Settings Standard, C1 Picture Min-R2, C1N Settings Min-R2, C1N Menues

3.4.1 Picture

Here the layout of the picture printed on the film is defined. Two different pictures can be defined, ”Standard, C1” and ”Min-R2, C1N”. The C1N window is narrower than the C1 window (6 lines instead of 8 if the small font is used), but this is not reflected by the configuration alternatives, instead it is the responsibility of the person creating the setup not to put anything information outside the window.

Kodak AG Stuttgart 4/99

Installation and Set-up Manual II 3478

This means that it is possible to have two different configurations for a C1 window, one under the Picture Standard, C1 and another under Picture Min-R2, C1N. The picture names are editable and can be given any name corresponding to their use.

3.4.2 Some frequently used words

Field This is what a unit of information is called when it is displayed on the picture.

A field contains, for example, the name of a patient or the current date or current time. A picture is made of a number of fields, and each field can be placed anywhere within the picture. A field also contains information about how the information should appear on the picture, for example the size of the text.

Pixel A pixel is a small dot of which all characters are built on the display. Position

on the display is given in pixels. To be able to calculate how much information will fit into the window, you must know the following.

The C1 window is 64 pixels high (0 to 63) and 240 pixels wide (0 to 239). The C1N window is 48 pixels high (16-63) and 240 pixels wide (0 to 239). A character is 16 pixels high and 12 pixels wide, if the large font is used. A character is 8 pixels high and 6 pixels wide, if the small font is used.

Font The appearance of the text on the film/display is determined by the font

selected. Currently two fonts are available, the LARGE and the SMALL font. The large font is twice as high and wide as the small font.

3.4.3 Picture Standard, C1/Min-R2, C1N

If Picture Standard, C1 is selected, the following will be displayed (factory default):

No Field Length Row,Col 01: PID 12 0, 0

02: Date 6 0,168 03: Name 20 16, 0 04: AP/PA 2 32, 0 05: Text 35 32, 30

Place New Remove Save

This display shows all fields that are defined for this picture. The up and down keys can be used to step through all fields. The window will automatically scroll to display more items.

To add a new item, place the cursor on the position where you like to add a field and press the NEW soft-key. This will make the KODAK Network ID Camera duplicate the field at the cursor and you can then edit one of the copies as you wish. The maximum numbers of fields are 50 for each window, C1/C1N.

To remove an item, place the cursor on the field you wish to delete, and press the REMOVE soft-key. This will immediately remove the selected item.

4/99 Kodak AG Stuttgart

II 3478 Installation and Set-up Manual

To move a field (i.e. give it another position on the picture printed on the film) press the PLACE soft-key. This will bring up another window where the selected field is displayed as a white box representing the size of the field, and all other fields are displayed as other strings of characters selected to represent the type of the field (D for date field N for name field). The current field can now be moved by the four arrow keys. If shift+arrow key is pressed the field will step 6 pixels left/right and 8 pixels up/down. When a good position is found just press the enter key to leave the window. Experience has shown that this is a good method of finding out where to place the field. It is, however, difficult to find the exact position, as the fields are often placed one or two pixels off. Therefore, the optimal procedure is to place all fields using this method, and then to check all positions manually and correct them by entering their positions by numbers as described below under ”Editing a field”.

3.4.4 Editing a field

To change a parameter of a field, place the cursor on the field and press the enter key. This will open a new window:

Fielddefinition Field:05 Type: Text Length: 35 Row: 32 Column: 30

Font: Small

Previous Next Save

Type tells what kind of information is displayed in this field. The following types are

available. Name - The name of the patient. The user may enter any information. This

field must not be empty. PID - The PID number of the patient. When entering the PID number, only

the format that is used in the country for which the camera is configured is allowed. Also the check-digit is checked, and the user is forced to either correct the PID number or explicitly tell that the number is not valid by pressing the Shift-F1 key.

Number - An integer. Allows only numeric characters to entered. Text - Any text in any format. AP/PA - Anterior or Posterior. This tells, whether the X-ray picture is taken

with the X-ray tube in front or behind the patient. Apart from displaying it in the film, the information is used by the KODAK Network ID Camera to mirror the picture when the picture is taken PA.

Menu - A menu allows the user a selection from a number of predefined text strings. Five different menues can be defined, and each of them can have 16 alternatives. In this window you only have to chose which of the five menues you will use. When you leave the type field (press enter) a new field will appear in the window, called menu. Here the number of the menu to use can be entered.

Kodak AG Stuttgart 4/99

Installation and Set-up Manual II 3478

F-Text - Fixed text. This is used to enter text that will always be displayed like the name of the hospital. When you leave the type field (press enter) a new field called ”Fixed text” will appear at the bottom of the window, allowing you to enter the text to display.

H-line - Horizontal line. Will display a horizontal line on the picture. Take care not to put the line behind any other field because these other fields may overwrite the line. The font entry is not used.

V-line - Vertical line. Details see H-line. Date - Print current date. When the type field is left a new entry will appear

called format. Here the date format can be selected. If the format you want is not available it can still be created by using three different date fields, one each for year, month, and day with separating characters inserted as F-text fields. Note that months can be displayed either as a two-digit number (MM) or three-letter text (MMM).

Time - Prints current time. Functions the same way as the DATE field. COMM - Communication. This field is used if the KODAK Network ID Camera

is connected to other equipment that sends data to the KODAK Network ID Camera, for example an X-ray unit that can send information about kV and mAs. When the type field is left a new entry will appear called Comm. This item will present a list of the type of information available. The type of information highly depends on the kind of equipment connected. Please refer to chapter 3.5.3 and the Network Installation Manual for more information.

Length The length of the field. Row The pixel row where the upper edge of the characters of the field should be

displayed. The uppermost row is normally placed at row 0 for the C1 window and row 16 for the C1N window.

Column The pixel column where the left side of the character should be placed. Font The size of the character. Select between large (h=16, w=12) or small (h=8,

w=6).

Menu This field only appears when the field type is Menu. Enter the number of the

menu to be used. Please refer to chapter 3.4.6 for information on how to define menues.

F-text Fixed text. This field only appears when the field type is F-text. Enter the text

to be displayed. The maximun numbers of F-texts are 30 divided among the C1-/C1N windows.

Format This field only appears when the field type is date or time. See Date above for

more information.

Comm Communication item. This field presents a list with the information that is sent

from equipment connected to the KODAK Network ID Camera. The kind of information highly depends on the kind of equipment connected. Please refer to chapter 3.5.3 and Network Installation Manual.

3.4.5 Settings Standard, C1/Min-R2, C1N

If Settings Standard, C1 is selected, the following will be displayed:

Settings Status: Used Text: Normal Exposure: 550 ms Location: Bottom Intensity: 1 Vert adjust: 0 Name: Standard, C1

Previous Next Save

The cursor is located at ”Status” and can be moved between the different settings by pressing up- and down-arrow keys. If the softkeys Previous and Next are visible it is two or more predefined values that can be selected by pressing the corresponding function keys F2 and F3.

The following settings can be performed: Status Toggle between Used/Not used (i.e enable/disable the picture). If one

picture is switched to ”Not used” the other one will automaticly be switched to ”Used”. A ”Not used” picture can not be accessed by the operator. Factory default is Used.

Exposure Basic exposure time in millisecundes. A value between 10 and 65535 can

be set. A value less than 300 will cause vertical pattern to appear because of interference with the refresh rate of the exposure time. Factory default is

550. The actual exposure time is the basic exposure time set in this window

multiplied by a factor determined by the exposure correction set in the exposure window that is opened from the patient data window. The correction factor is:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0,5 0,6 0,71 0,84 1 1,19 1,44 1,68 2

Intensity Intensity of the exposure display. Selectable values are 0.4, 1, 1.8, 4.5 and

10. Factory default is 1.

Name The name of this picture. Can be edited to any name with a maximun length

of 15 characters. Factory default is ”Standard, C1” and ”Min-R2, C1N”.

Text Toggle between Normal/Inverted. Determine whether the picture should

show white text on black background or black text on white background. Factory default is Normal.

Location Toggle between Bottom/Top. Determine whether the picture should be

printed on bottom or top of the film. Factory default is Bottom. NOTE! If a window is set-up for a MIN-R2 cassette bottom marking and then

is changed to top marking the lower 16 pixel-lines of the image will be placed outside the cassette window. This means that the whole image must be moved 16 pixel-lines up, field by field, to fit the MIN-R2 cassette window.

Kodak AG Stuttgart 4/99

Installation and Set-up Manual II 3478

If a Standard C1 cassette is used, no adjustments is needed when swapping from bottom to top marking.

Vert Adj Offset between operator- and exposure display. The picture which will be

printed on the film can be adjusted down. Maximum adjustment is 32 pixellines. Factory default is 0.

3.4.6 Menues

Menues can be defined here. A menu is a type of field where the user can select from a set of predefined texts. Five different menues can be defined. Each of them can have 16 different selections. Any menu can be used any number of times by either the C1, or the C1N window, or both.

When ”Menues” is selected from the window described in chapter 3.4 the following window is displayed:

No Len Alternative 1: 4 SIN, DX, MIKT 2: 3: 4:

Here menu 1 is defined. It has a length of 4 and contains the alternatives SIN, DX and MIKT. To create a new menu, move the cursor to a new menu, for example No. 2, and press the enter key. A new window will appear asking you for the number of characters of the longest alternative in the list. This may be a number between 1 and 8. After entering an appropriate value the following window appears:

Now you can enter the text for the alternatives. Keep in mind that the last alternative

No Proj Alternative 01: ” ” 02: ” ” 03: ” ” 04: ” ” 05: ” ”

entered must not be a blank, because the program cannot see the difference between a blank alternative and no alternative at all. Instead it is better to put the blank alternative at the first place, because the first alternative is selected by default. If an alternative is longer than allowed by the length set, it will simply be cut to the proper length when the save key is pressed.

A projection can be set for each alternative. It will change the AP/PA setting to the AP/PA setting set for the menu item. The Proj can be toggled Off/AP/PA by pressing the F1 softkey.

3.5 Communication param

Selecting this item will present a window where the communication channels of the KODAK Network ID Camera can be configured. This window works slightly different from the previous windows: instead of presenting a sub-menu where the item to configure is

This window is used to define a number of text strings.The GE Medical System Senographe sends a few parameters as 0 and 1, whereas they should be presented as texts instead. This window is used to define those texts. For more detailed information, please refer to the GE Medical System Senographe manual.

Each string may be up to 8 characters long. Use the up and down arrows to go to the row below or above, and use Left- and Right soft-keys to select column.

Example We want to create a COMM field that shall display the MODE. Create a new field and

under fielddefinition select Type COMM. The The Senographe is sending 0, 1 or 2 as the MODE parameter and the Kodak Network ID Camera is translating it to a text according to the protocol set-up above. In this case the texts are AOP for 0, AEC for 1 and Manual for 2. With reference to this settings, the length should be set to 6 and Comm to MODE. This means that we have to define the length of this COMM field to six characters maximum. Select Comm MODE will link the Mode data to this field.

3.5.6 Protocol set-up GXDP

Select GXDP-P or GXDP-NP protocol depending on whether the polling function is to be used or not, refer to the Network Installation Manual.

No further set-up is made for this protocol. The data input has the format: ”comm field

comm field number is corresponding to the comm field number defined in the picture and the value is the value which shall be displayed in the picture, refer to chapter 3.4.

The manufacturer of the XRAY equipment should present a documentation specifying which data is representing by which number and maximum length of eath item. Example:

Number Length Description

0 2 kV 1 4 mAs 2 2 Anode (Rh/Mo)

This means that the following data string is sent from the XRAY-unit:

”0:14;1: 2.4;2:Mo”.

The value ”14” will be placed in communication field number zero, the value ”2.4” in field number one, text ”Mo” in field number two.

Creating the picture that will be printed on the film is done in the same way as usual selecting the COMM field type. NOTE! The communication protocol has to be set before setting up the picture, otherwise the COMM field will display NONE. Now, select which data (i.e. number) this COMM field should display. One COMM field for each exposure data must be created.

Example We want to create a COMM field that shall display the ”mAs”. Create a new field and

under fielddefinition select Type COMM. With reference to the table above the length should be set to 4 and Comm to 1.

3.7.2 Load a Set-up

The setup is saved in such a way it may be saved from one camera using one version of the KNIC firmware and later downloaded to another camera with a later version of the firmware.

To load a set-up from a PC the following must be performed:

• Connect a PC to the Kodak Network ID Camera.

• Enter ”Remote control” and select which communication port and speed to use.

• Press F1 ”Connect”, a text ”Waiting” appear on the display. The camera is now ready

for a transmission session.

• Type ”putsetup [options] filename” at the DOS-prompt and press ENTER. Options are -p where port is 1 or 2 for COM1 or COM2

-s where speed is 4800,9600,19200 or 38400. Filename is the name of an existing file. If the command line is given with no options port COM1 will be used and the speed

will be set to 38400. Before the setup is re-loaded the previous setup will be erased. If download is

interrupted for some reason a new download must be performed. If there is problems to download a set-up, even at lower speed, the setup should manually be erased. This since the partially loaded setup may be inconsistent causing the camera to behave incorrectly. To manually erase a set-up (i.e resetting to factory default), please refer to chapter 3.2.

4 Upgrading the firmware

The controlling firmware is stored in a FLASH memory. To update this firmware the following equipment are required:

• A PC compatibel computer.

• A pin-to-pin cable with a female 9-pin DSUB on one end and a male 9-pin DSUB on

the other end.

• Software for the PC is required. The software, FWDL.EXE, runs under MS-DOS or in a

MS-DOS box in WINDOWS 3.1, WINDOWS 95 or WINDOWS NT. FWDL.EXE is included in the ”Software Kit” which is available from Kodak with part number T240000.

• Firmware for the Kodak Network ID Camera.

4.1 Download the firmware

Before starting the download it can be wise to save the setup to the PC as it may happen that downloading new firmware causes the setup to be erased. How to save a set-up, please refer to chapter 3.7.

Connect the PC to the camera. The communication cable should be connected to either HOST or AUX on the camera and the other end either COM1 or COM2 on the PC.

Preper the camera for a download session by switching it off, press down the P key and hold it down while switching the camera on again. Now the operator display should look like this:

Program load

Waiting

Type ”FWDL [option] [filename] at the DOS-prompt and press ENTER.

Option is -1 or -2 corresponding to COM1 and COM2 on the PC. Default is COM1. Filename is normally ”KNICver.KFW” where ver is the digit version number. If no

filename is given, the filename ”TFM.0” will be used. Ex. To download firmware version 2.1 using COM2. Type ”FWDL -2 KNIC21.KFW”.

The operator display should now change from "Waiting" to first "Erasing" and then "Loading on COMn" where n is either 1 or 2 depending on whether HOST or AUX is used.

On the screen of the PC there is a progress indicator rotating and a figure showning how

far the download has progressed in percent.
