2. S2Terminal program. Run from the command prompt of Windows.
Scanner Firmware (=FW, Inside the connected unit)
• Takes care of the normal unit operations.
• Operates either in normal mode or service mode.
o Normal mode: Unit is fully operational and images can be acquired.
o Service mode: Unit does not react to any other inputs than those given by the user
through service terminal. To be activated only from Service Terminal.
• See operation flow chart (in Service Manual) for more detailed information on scanner
firmware operation.
Refer to installation manual for detailed installation instructions
Recommended hardware at installation
Following items help you to troubleshoot possible installation problems:
• Laptop-computer with:
o DfW 2.5 or above
o s2terminal.exe, s2.dll, W32N55.ini and W32N55.dll files copied to folder
c:\optimeservice
o Known working configuration with Optime
• RJ45 UTP network cable, known as working
• Switch 10/100mbs, known as working
Pre-installation requirements
• Digora Optime only works with the compatible imaging application software.
• DfW versions 2.5 or above support Digora Optime.
• Necessary drivers of the imaging application shall be installed also during software
installation. Refer to the DfW installation manual for more information.
• In order to connect to the network, a unique IP address for the unit is needed. Unique IP
can normally be inquired from the local network administrator.
• If several workstations are going to share the unit (multi-connection), determine which
workstations and workstation names will be used.
• Administrator privileges are needed to do the installation
• Multi-connection installation requires plenty of time compared to normal installation.
Arrange enough time.
• Make sure the PC(s) and the unit is correctly connected. Switch the unit on. Wait until
the self-test procedure has finished (this takes 15-60 s.) and make sure the unit
indicates the cables being properly connected.
• It is recommended to use network cards from the major brands; cheap generic cards
may cause problems. Here is a quick short list on recommended NIC-manufacturers:
o Intel (card or integrated onto motherboard), 3Com, Linksys, D-Link, Netgear…
installed
EMI –interference, vibration and operation with UPS
• Unit is tested as required by the medical device standards. However this testing does
not guarantee that the device is totally immune to all possible interferences.
• The heavy levels of EMI will disturb the imaging chain and so the scanner may reject the
calibration during the power-up or show as interference on the image.
• In addition to EMI also pure mechanical vibrations (even with small amplitudes) will
cause the same effect if the vibration frequency is in the certain range.
• One practical example of vibration origin is a computer reading CDROM (possibly a bit
out of balance) next to the unit.
If the unit is connected to the UPS (Uninterruptible Power System)
• Check that the UPS is classified as medical device and also check the manual if there
are any recommendations for its placement etc.
• The UPS may also generate mechanical vibrations at the frequency the unit is sensitive
to, so try to locate the UPS on the floor for example.
Optime is switched off or not correctly connected to the wall outlet.
Network cable connected to the wrong connector of Optime
• One is for a direct connection to the workstation PC / Other to the network
Defective RJ45 -cable
Incorrect/incompatible dsd.ocx or Optime firmware version
• If the IP-connection does not work, try with serial number connection and vice
versa.
Connection is ok, but images cannot be scanned
• Two or more workstations or clients connected simultaneously to same unit
• Command <clients> from the service terminal. Command output shows if there
are more than one client (=yourself) connected.
Problems on the local network
• Ask more information from the network administrator.
Subnet Configuration problem
• Conflict / mismatch IP-addresses and/or subnet mask of the Optime /
workstation.
• Command <ipconfig> in the Windows command prompt to get the information
about the active network settings
• Change unit or workstation IP address so that they both belong to same
subnet
• Ask more information from your network administrator.
Ethernet link not active
Physical Ethernet connection consists of correctly installed cabling and possible
switches and/or hubs. It is called shortly a ‘link’.
If the link is active, it does not necessarily mean the unit is physically connected to
correct workstation – it only means the unit is connected to an Ethernet
compatible environment (hub, switch, other computer etc). Possible problem
cases are:
• Physical connection is ok (=link active) but the unit is not configured correctly.
• Cabling not correct (=link not active, no physical connection between the
computer and Optime)
• Check that the workstation computer´s link is ok. There is usually a green link
led light visible near the Ethernet connector(s) of computer´s NIC.
Service terminal is a very useful service tool, but it is not an end user interface. Only trained
service technicians are allowed to use it. Wrong usage of the service terminal might change the
factory presets or damage the unit.
All service terminal commands and functions are not explained in this manual. Further
instructions can be read by connecting the unit to service terminal and using the service
terminal’s help command. This arrangement is to keep the documentation up to date, since the
service terminal instructions are always up-to-date inside the unit firmware.
Accessing Service Terminal
• Service commands are controlled either from DfW Service Assistant (light version
service tool) or S2terminal run from command prompt (complete service tool)
o Firmware and core upgrade can only be performed with S2terminal
o Scanora 3D does not have service assistant, operates only with S2terminal
NOTE: Only have either DfW (Service Assistant) OR S2terminal open at one time.
NOTE: DfW must be closed when accessing S2 terminal.
• S2 terminal software is started and operated from Windows command prompt.
o When the S2terminal is running, the title bar of the command prompt window
reads “s2terminal [ip-address]”
o When the S2terminal is closed, the title bar of the command prompt window
reads “cmd.exe”
Running the S2Terminal program needs the following files:
• s2terminal.exe (Must be version dated 22/05/2009 or later)
• s2.dll (Must be version dated 21/05/2009 or later)
•
W32N55.dll (Must be version dated 09/04/2008 or later)
•
W32N55.ini (Must be version dated 09/04/2008 or later)
•
(S2Terminal has to be version 3.2.127.0 or later)
1. Copy all above mentioned s2terminal files to one same and dedicated service folder
(in the following example “c:\s2terminal” folder is used to store s2terminal files)
Select from Windows: Start / run >> Type into “Open” -field: < cmd >
3. Choose OK
4. Using command prompt, go to the folder where Service Terminal files are located
(for example: cd C:\s2terminal)
Command prompt examples :
o <cd\> (Changes to the root directory =C:\)
o <cd s2terminal> (changes to directory “s2terminal”)
o <s2terminal> help for the s2terminal command syntax
5. CHECK THAT Application SW (DfW) IS CLOSED
6. Execute the program as follows:
<s2terminal 194.9.227.252> (Starts s2terminal for unit having ip 194.9.227.252)
OR
<s2terminal 192.168.2.11 –c> (Starts s2terminal and configures Optime ip to 192.168.2.11)
NOTE: Keep start button pressed when entering <s2terminal 192.168.2.11 –c>:
7. If the IP-address is correct and the s2terminal program is able to connect to the unit, it
prints out terminal output of the login command, which displays the following info:
“s2terminal, the unit’s firmware version(s), serial number and some parameters”.
Otherwise it displays an error message(s).
NOTE: It is normal that you may have few times “login fail (no connection)” –error
Access Service Terminal with DfW Service assistant (light version service tool)
• This is the alternative way to access service commands
o Can be used only if DfW –connection available
o Firmware download CAN NOT be performed by using this method
o Scanora 3D does not have Service assistant
• When DfW is connected, press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+O simultaneously
>> Opens Digora Service Assistant
NOTE: If operating in Multiconnect configuration, the unit must be reserved first by pressing:
CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+O
Normal and Service Mode of the Unit
Service Terminal can be used having Optime in Normal mode or Service mode
• Normal mode = Normal operation, use Service Terminal to monitor the Optime operation
• Service mode = Optime Executes only the commands given from Service Terminal.
Most of the service procedures described in this manual is done in the service mode.
<s> Activates the service mode
If Optime is in standby mode, the first command only exits the standby mode
IF OPTIME IS NOT IN IDLE OR ERROR STATE, SERVICE MODE CAN NOT BE ENTERED.
IN THIS CASE YOU HAVE TO GET OPTIME INTO EITHER IDLE OR ERROR STATE.
ERROR STATE CAN BE ENTERED BY POWERING UP THE UNIT TOP COVER REMOVED
<quit> Quits the service mode (=resumes scanner into normal operation mode).
<reset> Resets Optime. After reset you exit also the service mode
Service Command principles
General Principles for Command Usage
• About half of the commands activate a function, for instance the movement of the plate
carrier or enabling the laser. The other half view or set the configuration parameters of
the unit.
• To use commands first see their description by <h [command]>.
NOTE: Do not execute the command if you are not sure about its function.
Improper use of some commands may damage the unit!
• When issuing the command without any value (for example <eject>) it will display the
current value of the parameter.
• If the parameter is followed with a value (for example <eject 12000>) the parameter
value is changed.
If the unit is in energy saving mode (=GREEN indicator flashing)
• Unit does not execute the command, but is exits the energy saving mode when the
command is entered for the first time
>> The same command has to be entered again to perform the required action.
Help Command
• The scanner firmware has built-in help for service commands.
• The help functionality is similar in both (Normal / Service) modes of the unit.
<h command> Typing h + any command followed by enter from the service terminal
>> shows the help for particular command.
Example <h calpr > shows the help for using calpr –options
<xh> s2terminal help menu
Service Command Syntax
<text> The text inside the brackets is typed in exactly as instructed +
followed by enter from the service terminal (unless other context is
specified in the clause)
Example <reset> means typing: reset (and pressing enter)
Example <idle> Shows the time unit waits before goes to standby
Example <idle XXX> Sets time (XXX seconds) unit waits before goes to standby
Configuration info
<conf> Shows the configuration parameters of the unit
Service Log
Service log is a very useful tool for troubleshooting, highly recommended for every field
technician!
• You can get list of the error messages, which helps on troubleshooting. (Every time an
error is caught it is recorded into the service log).
• You can see the performed service procedures
• Always start the service work by checking unit service log for error messages.
After the service work is done, sign the service log. Then it later displays what
service actions have been done for the unit.
TIP:
Copy the contents of the service log, paste it to Notepad and send to Soredex
Technical Support by Email. This helps SOREDEX to give troubleshooting support.
<h log> Shows the help for Service Log usage
<log> Shows the contents of Service Log after the latest service signature
<log all> Shows the whole contents of Service Log
<logsign> Signature =describe what kind of service you have performed.
Example: <logsign plate was not erased. John Smith replaced the erasing lamp>
>> saves “plate was not erased. John Smith replaced the erasing lamp”
Service commands may vary on different unit firmware versions.
Use always “online-help” of the service commands, they are up to date with the unit FW.
All service commands are not visible at service mode help menu, some of them are at
s2terminal help menu <xh>.
<s> Enters service mode (=Only service commands can be executed)
<autoscan 0> Configures Optime to start readout after START key is pressed

• Start blinking the yellow led
• Drive the plate carrier home (to reset the location counter)
• Drive the plate carrier back inside
• Calibrate PMT-signal amplifier
• Test high voltage (if safety switch is closed)
• Test erasing lamp
NOTE: if the top lid is removed (or safety switch defective / open / cable disconnected)
>> Unit goes into error state.
You can close the safety switch manually after the erasing lamp has been on shortly
during the startup sequence
>> Unit finalizes the startup-self test without laser sync –error.
IF THE SAFETY SWITCH IS CLOSED BEFORE LAMP FLASHES, PMT MAY DAMAGE!
• Optionally perform a warm-up sequence
• Wait the mirror scanner stabilizing (uses laser; close the safety switch after lamp
test to proceed without error if the cover is open)
• Drive the plate carrier to loading position
• Stop flashing the yellow led and turn on the green led, if everything is ok
• If there is no client connected, the yellow indicator remains on
• If the Ethernet cable is not properly connected, the yellow indicator flashes

The correct order of the removal is important when removing all covers:
1. TOP
2. MIDDLE
3. BOTTOM
ALWAYS begin the cover removal by opening the top cover first.
Removing Top Cover
NOTE: if the top lid is removed (or safety switch defective / open / cable disconnected)
>> Unit goes into error state.
You can close the safety switch manually after the erasing lamp has been on shortly
during the startup sequence
>> Unit finalizes the startup-self test without laser sync –error.
IF THE SAFETY SWITCH IS CLOSED BEFORE LAMP FLASHES, PMT MAY DAMAGE!
That is because Optime uses laser and checks the High Voltage during the start-up self-test.
-And laser and high voltage are disabled if the safety switch is open.
• For most small service procedures wait until the unit is initialized before removing the
top cover.
• Most of the service commands will work fine even when the safety switch is open.
• To observe mechanical movement during scan sequence please do following: issue
command <togglehv> while the scanner is in normal mode to disable/enable HV. When
the HV is disabled with <togglehv>, it is ok to make scans top cover open and safety
switch closed. The default mode after power up is naturally HV enabled.
• Light Sensitivity of Photo Multiplier Tube
• The tube is very sensitive to light when it is active. Tube is activated when the
high voltage is turned on and safety switch defeated (=closed). The tube is used
to measure extremely small amounts of light and normal room light and brighter
light sources damage an HV -activated tube.
Top cover is held in place with two “keyhole-locking bars” from the inside.
Top cover cannot be opened just by removing the two screws at the rear side!
TOP COVER REMOVING TO SERIAL NUMBER J811102 (3mm allen key):
• Turn the two screws at the rear counter-clockwise and simultaneously push the screw
inwards. Loosen as long as the screw head starts to rise up.
o Alternative way: loosen both screws 9…10mm (11…12 turns) and then push
inwards as much as they will go
• Lift the top cover off (straight upwards) gently. If the top cover does not come off, loosen
the two screws slightly more, push those inwards and try again.
TOP COVER REMOVING FROM SERIAL NUMBER J811103 (4mm allen key):
• Turn the two screws at the rear counter-clockwise until they stop and lift the top cover off
(straight upwards) gently
Removing Middle Cover
• The top cover and black metallic light cover under top cover must be removed before
removal of the middle cover. The older units have 3mm allen screws while the newer
units have thumb screws.
• Loosen the four screws that fasten the middle cover to the base plate and remove the
middle cover by lifting straight upward.
• The top cover must be removed before removal of the bottom cover.
• Remove the two connectors (J402, J404) from the connector panel board R2400.
• Turn the unit so that it stands on its rear face (=the one with type label) and remove the
four screws from the bottom of the scanner.
• Turn the unit right way round to normal position (after removing the bottom screws) and
pull the scanner mechanism out of the bottom cover. Be careful not to damage the
connector panel (R2400) and control panel (R2600) wiring when removing.
Assembling the Covers
The correct order of the assembly is: 1) Bottom >> 2) Middle >> 3) Top
Ensure that covers fit properly to avoid light leaking inside! (Leaking light interferes image
capturing).
Assembling Bottom and Middle Cover
• Insert the scanner mechanism inside the bottom cover (backside first).
• Be careful not to damage the control panel (R2600) wiring attached into the bottom
cover assembly.
• Connect internal connectors (J402, J404) to R2400. Slide the large tubing on top of the
Ethernet connector.
• Remove the plate collector, turn the unit so that it stands on its front face and install the
four screws to the bottom of the scanner. Leave these four a bit (1/2…1 turn) loose
• Turn the unit right way round to normal position (after inserting the bottom screws)
• Install the middle cover with four screws. Leave these four a bit (1/2…1 turn) loose. Skip
this step if you have not removed the middle cover.
• Turn the unit so that it stands on its front face, align bottom cover and tighten the
bottom screws to 1 Nm (100 Ncm) = 12 ft oz.
• Turn the unit right way round.
• Check that the middle and bottom covers align properly
o Gasket sealing from light between bottom and middle cover
o Gasket ends not visible from the outside at rear
o Similar gaps on both sides between bottom and middle cover
o Overall aligned so that has a good visual appearance
• If necessary, loosen the fastening screws and realign.
• Tighten properly all middle and bottom cover screws to 1 Nm (100 Ncm) = 12 ft oz.
Assembling Top Cover
• Before assembling the top cover, make sure that the two keyhole-locking bars are in
correct position (=towards front).
• Ensure that the safety switch closes 1…2mm before the top cover is properly fit.
• Ensure that the top cover fits properly from all edges before tightening the screws.
• Press the cover firmly in place and keep it pressed down while tightening the screws
until you feel resistance. Immediately stop tightening and only continue if pressing the
cover more releases the screwing resistance.
NOTE: Do not use any force when tightening the screws! Just finger-tight them!
Proper tightening torque for top cover screws is 0,25 Nm = 25 Ncm = 3 ft oz.
• If you accidentally tighten the screws with too much force, the covers will probably break
or the top cover becomes very hard to detach later on.
Make sure that the top cover fits properly to the middle cover from all edges!
Follow the <h command> online-instructions; they are updated if calibration routine has
been modified in the future firmwares.
Calibrating (=optimizing) the plate carrier inserting position, <calpr position>
Perform <calpr position> always before reflective sensor calibration
• This ensures that the opening of the plate carrier is properly in front of the sensor when
plate carrier is at plate inserting position.
Calibrating the Reflective Sensor (=plate detector)
• Reflective sensor is used to detect when the protective cover is removed and that the
plate is inserted correctly.
• Readout should start only after detecting the black side of the plate.
• Sensor has to be calibrated if:
o Optime does not start the readout when the plate is correctly inserted
o Optime starts the readout with the cover and plate inserted (cover not
removed)
o Optime starts the readout even without the plate.
o After sensor replacement.
• It is a good preventive action to check the sensor operation (and calibrate, if necessary)
when performing any other service for Optime.
• Use command <plate> to check how detects active / black / none.
• See <h plate> and <h calpr> for instructions. The load value with newer reflective
sensors should be between 3500 – 5000. If values are outside the range please adjust
the home switch flag.
REFLECTIVE SENSOR CALIBRATION BEFORE J709614(Optime version 01-03)
• Have NO PLATE in plate carrier
• <calpr position> Measures the optimum load position for the plate carrier
(=optimum position for “no plate detection” for <calpr none>)
• <load XXXX> as instructed by <calpr position> / <h calpr position>
XXXX is the "Optimum load offset is XXXX".
NOTE: Parameters can also be negative!
(Example: If output is "Optimum load offset is 1200, command <load 1200>)
• <e> or <ec> Check eject sequence and plate ejecting performance
Adjust with <eject>, if necessary. See <h eject> for instructions.
• <calpr none> When no plate inserted
• <calpr black 80> Sets the detection reference for black to 80
• <calpr active> Have plate + protective cover inserted the right way round.
Let plate be straight (no tilting).
• <calpr active>, as a result you get the value XX for active
• Add 2 to the value XX (Example, if the XX value for active was 20: XX +2 = 22)
• <calpr active XX+2> (Example <calpr active 22>
• <plate> and check the detection result when inserting:
-No plate inserted >> NONE
-Plate in cover >> ACTIVE
*Angle the plate+cover towards left from front edge to see that tolerates
1…2mm tilting before the output turns from “active” to black”.
-Plate wrong way round >> ACTIVE
-Plate right way round >> BLACK
*Angle the plate towards left from front edge to see that tolerates
1…2mm tilting before the output turns from “black” to “none”
REFLECTIVE SENSOR CALIBRATION FROM J709614 (Optime version 04 >>)
• Have NO PLATE in plate carrier
• <calpr position> Measures and sets the optimum load position for the plate carrier
• <calpr all> Follow on-screen instructions
• <plate> Check detection as instructed above
You can use <plate> command in service mode to check correct operation.
Calibrating Resonant Scanner Amplitude
• This may help in case that Optime generates some error related to the scanner module
(Laser synchronization, Degraded image quality -message, Error # 34 & 35 etc…)
• Refer to Technical Info TI-1086 for more details
• Necessary after R2300 IO interface board replacement
• Warm up the unit to the room temperature
o Do not ignore the warm up procedure in previous step – scanner amplitude is
naturally larger when cold with the same driver voltage than in the normal
operation temperature
• Calibrate resonant scanner amplitude by <calga> (safety switch must be closed)
• If <calga> is not completed successfully, check that:
o Laser turns on
o Mirror scanner oscillates (=makes the laser line)
o Connectors from R2300 I/O-board to the scanner module are OK.
• Note! Verify image geometry after performing <calga>
(calga changes the amplitude setting <ga> for resonant scanner amplitude).
