Working with the service PC

1 - 3

Configuration of the service PC

All Service Programs use the RS232 port in order to communicate with the MAMMOMAT. This port is usually handled as COM1 by the OS of the service PC. Modern PC’s can be equipped with new types of communication hardware, e.g. infrared port and built-in modem, which may act as COM1 or share resources with COM1. This could cause malfunction of the Service Programs for the MAMMOMAT, which requires the OS and computer BIOS to be re-configured.

The following procedures are designed to ensure general compatibility with the OS’s Windows® 95, Windows® 98 and Windows® 2000 Pro on modern PC’s. If the settings are saved, this procedure has to be done only once.

Configuration of computer BIOS

1.Enter the BIOS setup, usually done by pressing e.g. <F2> during the boot sequence of the BIOS.

2.Find the configuration of the IrDA (Infrared device) port and disable it.

3.Find the configuration of a built-in modem and make sure it is configured as COM3.

4.Find the configuration of COM1 and make sure it uses the interrupt IRQ 4 and the memory address range 03F8 - 03FF.

5.Save the BIOS settings and restart the PC.

Configuration of Windows®

(This example is for Windows® 2000 Pro. Windows® 95 and Windows® 98 have a similar approach, consult the OS documentation for details.)

1.Choose Settings from the Start Menu.

2.Choose Control Panel.

3.Choose System.

4.Choose the tab Hardware.

5.Press the button Device Manager.

If the IrDA-port was disabled in the computer BIOS, it should not be present in the list of available hardware. If the IrDA is present anyway and its icon is not marked with a red cross:

6.Double-click on the device row.

7.Choose the tab General In the appearing dialog box.

8.In the section Device Usage, change the status to "Disabled in the current hardware profile".

9.Exit the dialog by pressing the OK-button.

Having performed the described configurations above, the Service Program should be able to run without difficulties.

Working with the service PC

Starting up and using the service PC - Service program

1.Switch on generator and service PC.

After initialization, the service PC shows: C:\>

2.Now insert the diskette with the service program.

{A:}

3. Select the appropriate drive {B:} and then press <ENTER>. The screen shows:

A:\> or B:\>

4. Start the service program by typing "SERVICE" (extension -c if you have a color display), then press <ENTER>.

The program asks for the user’s name: Your name, please

Type the name of the technician, for example NN, and then press <ENTER>.

5. The program asks for the password: Password, please Type the password (********) and then press <ENTER>.

6. The display window shows: PROGRAM-MODE; Mode: Normal If Mode: Normal is the correct choice then press <ENTER> or

if Mode: Stand-alone is wanted press the <SPACE> key once and then press <ENTER>.

The display window shows: Main menu

7. Select the program part to be used with keys <↑> and/or <↓> , then press <ENTER>.

The program part selected is shown with a background: Configuration

If necessary, additional subroutines can be similarly selected here.

8. Make the necessary entries in the appropriate part of the program. Save the entered data with <F2>. Page back in the program with <ESC>. The appropriate instructions are shown on the monitor.

End the procedure with the service PC with <F10>.

Starting up and using the service PC - Dose Calculation program (Dose calculation applies if SW 4.4 or higher)

1.Switch on generator and service PC.

After initialization, the service PC shows: C:\>

2.Now insert the diskette with the dose calculating program.

{A:}

3. Select the appropriate drive {B:} and then press <ENTER>. The screen shows:

A:\> or B:\>

4. Start the service program by typing "DOSE_CFG", then press <ENTER>. The program asks for the user’s name: Your name, please

Type the name of the technician, for example NN, and then press <ENTER>.

5. The program asks for the password: Password, please

Type the password (********) and then press <ENTER>. This is the same password that is used for the regular service program.

6. The display window shows: PROGRAM-MODE; Mode: Normal If Mode: Normal is the correct choice then press <ENTER> or

if Mode: Stand-alone is wanted press the <SPACE> key once and then press <ENTER>.

The display window shows: Main menu

7. Select the program part to be used with keys <↑> and/or <↓> , then press <ENTER>.

8. Make the necessary entries in the appropriate part of the program. Save the entered data with <F2>. Page back in the program with <ESC>. The appropriate instructions are shown on the monitor.

End the procedure with the service PC with <F10>.

Troubleshooting

If communication with the MAMMOMAT still cannot be established, follow the instructions in this section. The following procedure will disable the buffering of the RS232 port. (This example is for Windows® 2000 Pro. Windows® 95 and Windows® 98 have a similar approach, consult the OS documentation for details.)

1.Choose Settings from the Start Menu.

2.Choose Control Panel.

3.Choose System.

4.Choose the tab Hardware.

5.Press the button Device Manager.

6.Expand the row Ports.

7.Double-click on the COM1 row.

8.Choose the tab Port Settings.

9.Press the button Advanced.

10.Uncheck the check box Use FIFO Buffers.

11.Exit the dialog by pressing the OK-button.

Perform detector normalization:

•after replacement of an AEC detector for that wing.

•after replacement of D701 and restoring from backup of AEC and correction tables. If two wing system, normalize both detectors.

•after AEC reset installation parameters. In a two wing M3000 normalize both detectors. When performing detector normalizations:

•The detector is to be in chestwall position.

MAM00616

•The AEC calibration plexi (part no. 65 61 240) must extend at least 10 mm beyond the chestwall edge of the table and be centered.

The following exposures are to be made:

•with no cassette or film

•with the very same AEC calibration plexi and object table.

It is strongly suggested that you use a Grid 18x24 object table (Bucky).

1.Make sure a backup floppy is inserted.

This menu is used for:

•Installation of correction tables (F2).

•Calibration of correction tables (F3), including rough setting of sensitivity correction.

The AEC uses one correction table for each Anode/Filter/Speed combination. Each correction table has separate corrections for each object table group (Magnification, Grid, No grid and Stereo). When pressing <F2> a dialog box will appear, in which the ID of the correction table to be installed (from floppy disk) should be entered. When the transaction of the correction table to the AEC is finished, the program will automatically go on to the calibration process.

To enter the calibration process without having installed new correction tables, press <F3>. When pressing <F3> correction tables previously installed will be loaded from the AEC. See “Installation and Start-Up Instructions” for further information.

During the calibration process of a correction table calibration reference data is fetched from a calibration file (“calxxxx.txt”, in which the four x:es represent the ID number). The ID of this file is the same as for the correction table in use and is located on the floppy containing the AEC correction tables (original AEC correction tables shall normally be copied from the floppy "AEC correction tables" to a backup floppy). The backup floppy must be inserted during the entire calibration.

When pressing <F2> exposure data from the calibration process is stored in a result file, e.g. “mrgh.txt”, on this floppy. In “mrgh.txt” the first letter represents type of anode (“m” for molly or “w” for wolfram/tungsten), the second represents type of filter (“m” for molly or “r” for rhodium), the third represents the kind of object table (“g” for grid, “n” for no grid, “s” for stereo or “m” for magnification) and the fourth represents the speed (“h” for high or “d” for detailed).
