SYSTEM NOTATION (NP, NP+, ...)

Hardware Constitution of NP, NP+, NP++, and Twin

According to system models or customer options installed on the system, a number of system specifications or func-tions available may differ from system to system; such are:

� Selectable scan times, MA values, FOV dimensions

� ‘Remote Tilt’ function

� Number of arrays of DAS/detector units, i.e., single or twin DAS/detector subsystem

� ...

However, the ‘HiSpeed’ series scanners are principally grouped into four, for which the following notations are givenrespectively:

‘NP’, ‘NP+’, ‘NP++’ and ‘Twin’In this ‘Diagnostics’ manual, these notations NP, NP+, NP++, and Twin are used to describe differences among thesefour groups and to make descriptions of this manual read simpler.

(However, ‘Twin’ is further grouped into two, that is, ‘NP+ Twin’ and ‘NP++ Twin’. In general outline,NP+ Twin systems are NP/NP+ systems with a twin DAS/detector, and NP++ Twin systems are NP++ systemswith a twin DAS/detector. These notations also will be used when required.)

The following table describes the constitution of the major hardware of NP, NP+, NP++, and Twin.

The rotation number is slightly less than the mechanical Gantry rotation counter locatednear the TGP board (a few %), because this software counter does NOT read all of Gpulse interrupt.

The data of rotation number is sent to the OC just when the Gantry stops.

IQ Performance Tool Status

This tools give us advance notice for IQ performance change.

For the system with V/R 5.5x or later, the two types of warm–up scan can be selected:

� Tube Warm–up: performs tube several warm–up scans. These can achieve 13% case temperature.

� Daily calibration (Warm up): performs conventional tube warm–up scans (tube warm–up scans:30% caseand calibration scans) plus IQ performance measurement scans. (For detail scan protocol, refer to IQperformance Measurement scan described below.)

So, whenever the daily calibration is performed, the IQ performance data are collected and analyzed automatically,and the results are stored in the file, then displayed on the “Status” column of the IQ Performance Tool Status. The“Information” means the date when the status has been determined.The three types of status are displayed:

NoteThe results are stored as a vector file, so that they can also be seen using Scan Analysis, DD fileanalysis function. (For mA Smudge and Scan Time Smudge Only, they can not be seen, becausethe files can NOT be made.) The files is stored up to 5MB. In excess of 5MB, the directory of the files will be cleaned up whenexecuting this tool. Since the vector files of approx. 400 KB per daily calibration are created, 10 days’data can be stored. However calculation in Scan Analysis reduces data to be stored.

� GREEN: displayed when the result is WITHIN allowable specifications. (Also refer to IQ performance toolspecifications.)

� YELLOW: displayed when the result is OUTSIDE OF allowable specifications. There is a possibility toaffect Image Quality. (Also refer to IQ performance tool specifications.)

� RED: displayed when the result is OUTSIDE OF allowable specifications. A serious Image Quality prob-lem might occur. (Also refer to IQ performance tool specifications.)

IQ Performance Tool Service Recommended Action

When the IQ Performance Tool Status turns YELLOW or RED, perform the followings in a periodic maintenance.When the status turns in Yellow or Red but an IQ issue does not occurs, the urgent action is NOT required.

1. Check if a customer does not have any IQ problems.

2. Check the vector file(s) beyond tolerance level that have been gotten by the IQ performance test, using ScanAnalysis. Then detect and resolve problems according to the troubleshooting guide.

3. Perform the Calibration (Auto Sequence–1 calibration). The YELLOW indicators still exist.

4. Perform Auto CT Number Adjustment to remove the YELLOW indications (changed to all GREEN).

5. Perform Image Performance Test to check if no problem exists.

6. Perform the Daily calibration to verify that all of the IQ Performance Tool Status is GREEN.

Troubleshooting Guide For IQ Performance

� Baseline of this troubleshooting:Basically air calibration and phantom calibration (Auto Sequence 1) should be finished after YELLOW/RED flag. And still RED/YELLOW is existed, perform Auto CT Number Adjustment to remove the YEL-LOW indicators (changed to all GREEN). Then check this list in sequentail order. After fixing issues, Auto sequence–1 calibration and CT# adjustment are recommended to be done again.

� Sequence of checks:If the IQ performance status shows Yellow/Red, please proceed the checks from upper to lower in therelated item. If the cause is clearly linked to the specific description by ”how to confirm”, only this specifictroubleshooting can be done and there is no need to check other tests in the same item.

Check dd file to see profile ofoffset data. If the profile haslarge periodical pattern orslope in one side of channeledge (1st channel side or thelast channel side), noise com-ing from GND line or radiationnoise from generator is sus-pected.

Check GND line connection ofDAS. Check if DAS cover iscorrectly attached. Scan 42cmPoly phantom (calibrationphantom) with 10mm 1i mode,while changing mA, scan time,kV. If there is no moire typeartifact, the system is judgedto be acceptable. If there isclear moire type artifacts seenin some of mAs and kV com-bination, generator change isrecommended.

Remove DAS–detector cablefrom DAS and check offset SDby offline scan. If the abnor-mal profile is disappeared,cable itself or cable setting isan issue. If there is nochange, issue seems to be in-side detector, which needs de-tector replacement.

Output shiftfrom beamcontrol shift(AC–11)

Check dd file to see profile. Ifthe profile is shifted over totalchannel, and all other slicethickness of AIRCAL drift datainclude similar shift, check ABratio Qcal ch profile. If theview data after 200 view is notconverging to 0 (+/–2%),beam control failure is sus-pected. In case of the correctAB ratio profile, move to thenext (unstable position of fo-cus ).

Check Motor Z–movement fileand Ratio Z–movement in ddof scan analysis. If both of theprofiles don’t have clear stairstep profiles, DAS CIF mayhave problem. In this case, tryto exchange CIF at first andcheck if any change. If onlyRatio Z–movement has notclear stair step in the profile,drive, z–axis movement mech-anism may have issue. In thiscase, driver or collimator ex-change is needed.

AB ratio and Z–movement havealso some issue.

Unstable posi-tion of focus(AC–12)

Above case with correct ABratio.

Do Daily Calibration again. If itchanges to GREEN this time,it is fixed. If still YELLOW/RED is displayed, recommendto do POW–>BOW– >QCALCH RATIO in the SV align-ment again. In this case cal-ibration should be doneagain(Auto sequence 5).

No other items outof specification.

Some objectremained inthe gantryopening (AC–6,7,8,9,10)

Check dd file and see the pro-file of 10mm slice thickness. Ifprofile contains partial drop orhump, check air scan image. Ifair image has CT# drop orraise in the center or has theband artifact, there is a possi-bility that something remainedor attached in the gantryopening. Check the mean pro-file of air scan by GSA wheth-er the data contains somedrop of the profile, which iscaused by existing material inthe X–ray path.

Look whether there is some-thing remaining in the scan-ning plane or not. Please wipegantry opening ring to removeany attached contrast media.If still mean profile of air scancontains some drop of profile,open gantry to clean collima-tor–bowtie–tube window. If thedata is not stable, there is apossibility of tube bubble in oil.In this case, tube replacementis needed.

Most of the case,daily calibrationscan stops with er-ror. But in somecase, scan finisheswithout error. Inthis case all thick-ness has RED orYELLOW, or onlylarger thicknesshas RED or YEL-LOW.

Air CalDrift

DAS outputdrift(AC–3,4,5)

Check dd file to see profile. Ifthe profile has 1channel or 16channel drop or surge, do theair scan to check air meanprofile. If there is no clearirregular drop or surge for theissue channels in the profile,the drift of CAM board channelis suspected.

Check the temperature of theroom is appropriate( not toocold or too hot). Identify chan-nels which have abnormal driftand exchange CAM board ofthis channel with other CAMboard to confirm if it is reallyCAM board problem.

Sometime all thick-ness has RED orYELLOW, butsometime only thinthickness has REDor YELLOW.

Detector out-put drift (AC–1,2)

First confirm FOV43 air imageand see if it contains clear ringartifact. After this, check ifDAS is OK in the above pro-cess. If there is no impact ofCAM board exchange inabove item, try to connect De-tector cable to the AdjacentCAM board. If the abnormaloutput of channel moves 16chfrom the initial state, detectorchannel contains problem.

Detector replacement is rec-ommended but before thischange, please try to check inthe following items. 1) Check ifdetector heater is workingproperly by touching detectorsurface(35 degree C). 2) If itworks, do calibration se-quence 1 and check air imag-es several times for more thantwo hours. If ring artifact isdisappeared, move to themonitoring phase for severalweeks.

Butsome of the scan results ex-ceed this value, the mostprobable failure is CAM board.So first suspect CAM board.

Check dd profile and identifywhich part in the profile hasgap. Corresponding CAMboard is to be replaced tominimize the profile gap.

Sometime ’Scantime Smudge’ alsoshowed YELLOW/RED status.

Detector non-linearity error(mA–2,3)

The scan analysis feature allows users to have interactive access to scan files collected on the scanner. Scan datato be viewed can come from either Patient Scanning or from service mode tools such as Diagnostic Data Collectionor Calibration.

Analysis is divided into three major areas of: SCAN ANALYSIS, dd FILE ANALYSIS, CAL FILE ANALYSIS, and Z–tracking (for Twin ONLY). dd FILE ANALYSIS and CAL FILE ANALYSIS is not yet available for this CT System. Eachmajor section provides an File List Select interface similar to the Image Works List Select, Image Browser. AnalysisList Select allows you to select the appropriate file of interest.

Any of the normal scan files may be selected for processing within Scan Analysis including Axial, Helical, and Scoutscans. Once the scan data of interest is selected you can select one of several processing options which include:Update, Scan Header, Cal Vectors, Plot MSD, Plot VVC, and Save Scan.

Definitions within Scan Analysis

� dd File (Diagnostic Data File):dd files are a result file from some type of operation on the scan data file. dd files are typically some formof view summed file that may have had some specific type of processing applied to it. For example, theprocessing applied to the raw data to calculate the position of the pin in ISO alignment results in a tempo-rary file that is a view summed result that could be saved as a dd file. As long as two dd files have the samenumber of data elements in them the two files may be added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided with eachother.

� Means and Standard Deviation File (MSD): This is usually the result of combining two or more views mathematically which results in Mean Valuesfor each channel in the views and an associated Standard Deviation for each channel in the views. In es-sence all of the user selected views in a scan file are summed together resulting in a single “master view”that contains the averaged data from all of the views. The mean values represent the average data valuefrom the channels and the standard deviation values represent the amount of variability for that channelsdata values across all of the views. The higher the standard deviation the more the channel output variedfrom view to view.

� Scan Header: This is the information contained within the Scan File that identifies the specific settings in affect whenthat scan file was created. The Scan Header includes information at several levels including: Exam, Se-ries, and Scan. Information identifying the technique selections, scan time, acquisition mode, and manyothers may be found in the scan header.

� Cal Vectors: Within Scan Analysis the Cal Vectors are only those vectors contained within the Scan Data File at thetime that the scan was taken.

� VVC (Views vs Channels): This is a way to graphically represent the data values from each channel for each view of data from theS–DAS as a shade of grey. The display will have the views stacked vertically and the channels arrangedacross the display horizontally.

Upon starting the Scan List Select window, you can highlight an EXAM –> SERIES –> SCAN, and perform the desiredanalysis feature by pressing any of the following buttons:

� Update:The UPDATE selection will refresh the List Select Display if new scan files have been created since theScan Analysis Tool was started.

� Scan Header:The SCAN HEADER selection will open a scrolling text window that contains the header text informationcontained in select scan file.

� Cal Vectors:The CAL VECTOR selection will open a window that allows you to select which of the calibration vectorsin the selected scan file that you wish to look at. After the selections are made, OK will process the datarequests and display the results.The resultant plots will be auto–scaled and in some cases the range of data displayed will be set automati-cally. This is to provide a reasonable initial view of the data. Always check the scale on the left hand sideof the plot displays. Cursor reporting of data value and channel numbers is provided.

� Create MDS DD File: (For V/R 5.5x or later)This will calculate a view averaged “super view” for the selected views and store the results in a separatefile on the systems disk. The display will report the path and filename of the file just created. Once created,dd File can be viewed or compared with other files to check for specific operating characteristics.

� Plot MSD:Provides a set of view summed Means and Standard Deviation Plots of a scan file. The plotter is startedto display the means vectors and the standard deviation vectors, computed across the entire scan for eachdetector macro row. There will be (4) mean and standard deviation plot sets in the display window. After Plot MSD is started, a preprocessing option selection window appears:

– Offset Correction:This processing step removes from the scan data, the signal bias introduced by the acquisitionelectronics. This operation is performed on a channel by channel basis for each view.

– Reference Normalization: Makes use of unobstructed (not blocked by the patient) detector cells at the end of the detectorto adjust for fluctuations in the x–ray beam and effects of aperture size and mA. In the case wherethe reference channels are blocked, the system uses an estimated value for the processing. Thesteps for Reference Normalizing the scan data involves: Offset Correction for the ReferenceChannels, Dividing the Offset Corrected Scan Data by the Averaged Reference Channels foreach view.

– Log Conversion:The log operation is applied.

– Convolved Data: N/A (Do not use this function because a proper calculation can not so far be obtained.)

Cursor reporting of data value and channel numbers is provided.For terminology and usage, refer to Generic System Analyzer.

The Z–AXIS TRACKING tool is a new TAB for the twin system ONLY, located within the Analysis Tool. The tool canbe used to plot various tracking functions, using a Scan Data Set. For a scan data set, the analysis package can plotdifferent data versus views in UN–FILTERED (the default) or FILTERED (20 pt. Boxcar) formats.

In the figures that follow, examples of “known” Tracking plots are shown. Since plots vary from system to system, theexamples shown should be used only as guides. Compare your System’s plots and analyze them relative to the speci-fication shown in each figure. The plots shown are UN–FILTERED views, which is the default option when they areplotted. A 20 point boxcar filter takes the 20 view average and then plots the data.

A value is not considered to be out of specification, unless the limit is exceeded for a sustained interval of 100 viewsor more. In the cases where specifications are not given, consider plots informational only.

To use the function “Save to File” , need to make a directory named “data” under root. Then after performing Saveto File, plot data is displayed and text file will be stored into data directory as named “TrackingVsScan.txt” (about 15KBsize). But it is not so useful because of text file.

It is recommended to remove the directory “data” after checking the TrackingVsScan.txt file for system stability.

� Collimator Position:The plot shows the Collimator Position during a scan. Collimator positions are stored in the Scan file (RawData).The vertical axis shows the pulse count of Z–Axis pulse motor (20�m/pulse).

dd File List Select Overview

dd math is a means for the user to apply mathematical operations: add, subtract, multiply, and divide to dd files, andcalculate the channel to channel difference or ratio of means vs. standard deviation vectors of a dd file. It allows theuser to specify the scaling factor for the output vector, and provides three output modes: plot, dd file, and view num-bers.

dd math is part of the dd analysis user interface. Scan Analysis is used to generate dd files that may then be manipu-lated and or examined using dd File Analysis.

Operating dd Math Function

The dd math operation buttons will be insensitive if no files are selected into the dd math operation panel.

1. The user may start dd math operation(s) by selecting the file(s) and putting them into the selection field by clickingthe button FILE #1 or FILE #2.

If the selected file is not a dd file, the application will not put it into the dd math operation field. A message windowwill pop up and ask user to select a dd file.

If only one file is selected and it is of the file type RTS dd file or MSD dd file, both Ch2Ch (Channel to Channel)and Ratio (RATIO OF MEANS VS. STDV) will become sensitive.

If the selected file is not of the type MSD or RTS, only Ch2Ch will become sensitive.

When two dd files are selected, + (ADD), – (SUBTRACT), x (MULTIPLY), and / (DIVIDE) become sensitive andCh2Ch and Ratio will be insensitive.

2. The user can specify the output file name when the dd file output mode is set. Otherwise a default dd file namewill be provided.

3. The default output scaling factor is 1.0. The user can set the scaling factor to any real number.

4. When the dd math operation buttons are sensitive, the user can select the desired button to start the dd mathoperation.

dd Files Generation

There are 18 different dd file types of six orientations. The orientations are View, Channel, RTS, CAL, Elements, andHeader.

Channel oriented means and standard deviation type dd files are the only type that can be created from scan datafiles in the Scan Analysis application.

dd Math Functions

dd math consists of the following functions:

� Add

� Subtract

� Multiply

� Divide

� Channel to Channel (Ch2Ch) difference

� Ratio of means vs. standard deviation

Perform: add, subtract, multiply, divide, and channel to channel difference operations on dd files. These operationsare only available for dd file types.

Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide

Applies add, subtract, multiply, and divide between vectors in two dd files. The output file is a dd file with one of thefollowing suffixes:

� .add

� .dif

� .mul

� .rat

Operations can be performed on dd files in View orientation, Channel orientation, RTS orientation, and Cal orientation.

Currently, no dd type restrictions are applied to operations between dd files, as long as the dd vectors have the samenumber of elements. If one file has a single vector and the other file has multiple vectors the mathematical operationwill be applied multiple times using the single vector.Otherwise the mathematical operation will be applied component wise for the number of vectors in each file.

Channel to Channel Difference

Applies the following calculation to the data from the data set(s) in the dd files for View, RTS or Cal orientation.(X2–X1), (X3–X2), (X4–X3),...,(Xn–Xn–1)Where X is the data value for each channel.The output is channel to channel dd file with extension: .c2c

The following sequence occurs in the LED’s when the power switch is turned on:

1. The Power LED comes on.

2. The octal SCSI ID flashes briefly. The Least Significant Bit is next to the Power LED. Note that if the SCSI IDis zero, no LEDs flash.

3. The three LEDs which represent an octal value flash once and go out.

4. Once the power–up sequence completes, the DASM CPU LED (second light from left) blinks regularly, indicatingthat the CPU is active and functioning normally.

Start Up Sequence

When the DASM–VDB interface module is powering up, it performs start–up diagnostics and other related actions.

At power–up, the DASM unit performs the following tests:

� EPROM checksum test

� MFP 68901 access test (the Multi Function Peripheral chip controls the serial port, timing, and I/O)

� SCSI register access test

� Static RAM test

� Dynamic RAM test

� DMA test

When the DASM CPU LED blinks continuously at about two flashes per second, the initialization sequence is com-plete, and the continuous self–test is in progress. The self–test runs until a SCSI command (a write to block 0 on theDASM) is sent by the host. This test signals an error condition by blinking the CPU, SCSI, and Personal Module Inter-face LEDs in tandem, continuously.

To report diagnostic conditions, the LEDs on the DASM–VDB front panel have a corresponding binary presentation.The illustration 1–4 shows the value assigned to each LED (CPU, SCSI, Personal Module Interface LEDs).

DASM LED Error CodesUsing LEDs 1, 2, and 4 (CPU, SCSI, Personal Module Interface LEDs), a binary code signals any of the conditionslisted in Table 1–8. The Power LED is not used to report diagnostic conditions.The three LEDs permit a combined total of only seven error codes. To overcome this limitation, the codes are definedas a series of one or more patterns. Each pattern begins with all LEDs flashing briefly, to indicate the start of the num-ber sequence that follows.For example, to display error code 12 (Failed SCSI Interface Test), the CPU LED displays the first digit (1), stoppingbriefly before the SCSI LED displays the second digit (2), as shown in Illustration 1–5.The display of each digit lasts approximately four times the duration of the initial binary “7” (that if, the flash of all LEDs).The patter then repeats. Only the significant digits for each error condition are listed in Table 1–8.

1-3-3-3 Self–Test Options

Once the start–up sequence is complete, the resident software reads the state of the DIP switch labeled SW1 on theDASM II–VDB board to determine whether further tests are enabled. To access SW1 you must first remove the topcover. Upon locating SW1 you will notice the numbers 0, 1, and 2 silk screened on the printed circuit board. The waySelf–Test executes is determined by the setting shown below:

Switch Position ContinuousMode

Serial Loop–back

Single Pass Single Pass w/Memory

Debug Mode

0 Closed Closed Open Open Open

1 Closed Open Closed Closed Open

2 Closed Closed Closed Open Open

� Continuous Mode:Is the default setting. After executing the start–up diagnostic, the resident software will continuously runthe VDB self–test. Self–test will continue until the first SCSI command is received by the DASM.

� Serial Loop Test:In this mode the VDB tests the RS422 Driver and Receiver. Prior to executing this, a special loop–backconnector on the front panel of the VDB, without the loop–back connector the test will fail.

The loop–back connector is made by simply adding two wires to a 25–pin Male ‘D’ connector: (pin 8 topin 9) and (pin 21 to pin 22).

� Single Pass:The start–up diagnostics execute once, as described in 1-3-3-2 Start–up Sequence. Please be awarethat when position 0 is open error and other messages encountered during start–up diagnostics are di-rected to the serial port. Otherwise the errors are encoded on the LEDs.

� Single Pass w/Memory:Is controlled by Bit 2. When open the DASM exercises the entire DRAM during the start–up diagnostics.The Single Pass w/Memory test can take several minutes to complete, this is why it is normally disabled.

� Debug Mode:When position 1 is open the program jumps to the I/O Monitor when a diagnostic error occurs. The I/OMonitor gives the basic tools to debug the hardware. Opening positions 0 and 2 allows the technicianaccess to the start–up diagnostic suite via the serial port.

1-3-3-4 Start–up Problem

To report diagnostic conditions, the LEDs on the DASM II–VDB front panel have a corresponding binary representa-tion. The illustration 1–7 below shows the value assigned to each LED. The section after the figure explains how theLEDs represent error codes. Note that this sections deals with error codes related to the DASM Controller, whereSection 1-3-3-5, VDB Error Codes, explains the method used to report an error from the VDB diagnostic.

DASM Controller LED Error Codes

Using LEDs 2 and 4, a binary code signals any of the conditions listed in Table 1–10. The Power light and PIF LEDsare not used to report diagnostic conditions.

The three LEDs permit a combined total of only seven error codes. To overcome this limitation, the codes are definedas a series of one or more patterns. Each pattern begins with all LEDs flashing briefly, to indicate the start of the num-ber sequence that follows.

For example, to display error code 12 (Failed SCSI Interface Test), the CPU LED displays the first digit (1), stoppingbriefly before the SCSI LED displays the second digit (2), as shown in Illustration 1–7.

Illustration 1–7 LED Error Code Sequence

The display of each digit lasts approximately four times the duration of the initial binary “7” (that is, the flash of allLEDs). The pattern then repeats. Only the significant digits for each error condition are listed in Table 1–8.

Note:The first error stops the start–up sequence immediately.

1-3-3-5 VDB Error Codes

The following sequence is used to signal an error during the VDB portion of the Self–test.

First, all three LEDs blink together for the duration of a single pass. This requires approximately 10–15 seconds.Then the specific error code blinks twice before the next pass begins, with all three LEDs blinking together as before.

The bit pattern of the error codes appears as a series of LEDs being turned on and off. The low order bit is first.

When two LEDs blink together, the bit value is 1.When only one LED blinks, the bit value is 0.

To see an example of an error code displayed in this way, do the following:

� Remove the loop–back connector from the front panel of the DASM II–VDB.

� SW 1 position 0 is closed.

� SW 1 position 1 is open.

� Now cycle the AC power on the DASM

� When the first pass of the DASM self–test has completed, the LED display begins. The expected erroris 5 (RS–422 port fail), and the LED sequence is:Least significant first:bit 0 = 2 LEDs on = 1 Value 1bit 1 = 1 LED on = 0bit 2 = 2 LEDs on = 1 Value 4bit 3 = 1 LED on =0

From left to right, the lights indicate the following:

� PIFPersonality Interface light indicates a data transfer from the Common Memory to the LCAM circuitry.

� SCSIThis light indicates the host is accessing the DASM via the SCSI bus, such as commands sent or datareceived.

� CPUThis light indicates that the DASM CPU is active and operating properly. It flashes continuously ( “blinks”on and off) following power–up.

� PWRPower Light indicates that the DASM is powered. If this light does not illuminate at power–up, you shouldfirst check the power cord connections.

1-3-4-2 Start–up Sequence

When the DASM II–LCAM is powering up, it performs start–up diagnostics and other related actions.

At power–up, the DASM Controller performs the following tests:

� EPROM checksum test

� MFP 68901 access test (the Multi Function Peripheral chip controls the serial port, timing, and I/O)

� SCSI register access test

� Static RAM test

� Dynamic RAM test

� DMA test

When the DASM CPU LED blinks continuously at about two flashes per second, the initialization sequence is com-plete.

If an error occurs, the error condition is reported by blinking the CPU, SCSI, and PIF LEDs in tandem followed by anerror code.

Powering On

The following sequence occurs on the front panel’s LEDs when the power switch is turned on:

1. The Power LED lights.

2. The octal SCSI ID flashes briefly. The Least Significant Bit is next to the Power LED. Note that if the SCSI IDis zero, no LEDs flash.

3. The three LEDs flash once and go out.

4. Once the power–up sequence completes, the DASM CPU LED (second light from right) blinks regularly, indicat-ing that the CPU is active and functioning normally.

� Continuous Mode:After executing the start–up diagnostic, the resident software will continuously run the LCAM self–test.Self–test will continue until the first SCSI command is received by the DASM. Please be aware that whenposition 0 is open error and other messages encountered during start–up diagnostics are directed to theserial port. Otherwise the errors are encoded on the LEDs.

� Single Pass w/Memory:Is controlled by Bit 2. When setting to “open”, the DASM exercises the entire DRAM during the start–updiagnostics. The Single Pass w/Memory test can take several minutes to complete, this is why it is normal-ly disabled.

To report diagnostic conditions, the LEDs on the DASM II–LCAM front panel have a corresponding binary representa-tion. The illustration 1–8 below shows the value assigned to each LED. The section after the figure explains how theLEDs represent error codes. Note that this sections deals with error codes related to the DASM Controller, whereSection 1-3-4-5, LCAM Error Codes, explains the method used to report an error from the LCAM diagnostic.

DASM Controller LED Error Codes

Using LEDs 2 and 4, a binary code signals any of the conditions listed in Table 1–13. The Power light and PIF LEDsare not used to report diagnostic conditions.

The three LEDs permit a combined total of only seven error codes. To overcome this limitation, the codes are definedas a series of one or more patterns. Each pattern begins with all LEDs flashing briefly, to indicate the start of the num-ber sequence that follows.

For example, to display error code 12 (Failed SCSI Interface Test), the CPU LED displays the first digit (1), stoppingbriefly before the SCSI LED displays the second digit (2), as shown in Illustration 1–8.

1-3-4-5 LCAM Error Codes

The following sequence is used to signal an error during the LCAM portion of the Self–test.

First, all three LEDs blink together for the duration of a single pass. This requires approximately 10–15 seconds.Then the specific error code blinks twice before the next pass begins, with all three LEDs blinking together as before.

The bit pattern of the error codes appears as a series of LEDs being turned on and off. The low order bit is first.

When two LEDs blink together, the bit value is 1.When only one LED blinks, the bit value is 0.

The Self–test runs in continuous mode when SW 1 position 0 is “open”. A single failure will cause a error code to flashrepreatedly on the LEDs. Although, other errors may occur during testing only the first one is displayed forever.

First all LEDs will blink together several times indicates a problem. Next, the error code is displayed serially, twicein the two leftmost LEDs.

The pattern is binary and takes 4 blinks for the complete code. When the two LEDs blink together, the bit value is1, when only blinks the bit is 0. The bit order is low to high.

Record the blink pattern in the number of LEDs blinking, 1 or 2.

Record them RIGHT to LEFT, to make them easier to interpret.

1 2 1 2 Subtract 1 from each digit to obtain the bit value.0 1 0 1 The value of the code is 5.

� Power–On Tests

� IDE Tests

Power–On Test

These run automatically on the major hardware components of the workstation each time it is turned on. If the testsfind a faulty part, the LED on the front of the system will be red and there will probably be an error message. See alsoProblem Diagnosis (Section 2-1).

IDE Tests

The Interactive Diagnostic Environment (IDE) tests are more comprehensive than the Confidence Tests, and takelonger (as long as 30–45 minutes) to run. See Integrated Diagnostic Environment (IDE) Tests on the SBC (O2) (Sec-tion 2-5).

In most cases, your system will recover from a system crash automatically if you reboot the system.If, however, you have lost data on your system disk, and you cannot communicate with your system using the mouseor keyboard, or over the network, follow these instructions. The instructions assume you have a backup tape of yoursystem that has been made using the System Manager backup tool, or with the /usr/sbin/Backup script. You also needa CD with your current IRIX operating system level. If you are recovering data from a tape on a remote tape device,you need to know the hostname, tape device name, and IP address of the remote system.

1. Use a pen tip or an unwound paper clip to press the RESET button located on the front panel (Illustration 2–3).

4. If you have a CD–ROM drive connected to your system and the IRIX CD, click LOCAL CD–ROM. Then clickACCEPT to start. Insert the CD when prompted. The system takes five minutes or more to copy the information.If you don -MOTE DIRECTORY.

5. When a notifier appears asking you for the remote hostname, type the system’s name, a colon (:), and the fullpathname of the CD–ROM drive, followed by /dist. For example, to access a CD–ROM drive. On the systemmars, you would type: mars:/CDROM/distAfter everything is copied from the CD to the system disk, you can restore your data from a recent full backuptape. The backup must be one that has been made using the System Manager backup tool, or with the /usr/sbin/Backup script.Tip: If you need to check something on your system during the restore process, you can get ashell prompt by typing sh at most question prompts.

6. If you have a local tape device, you see this message:

Restore will be from <tapename> OK? ([Y]es, [N]o): [Y]

tapename is the name of the local tape device.

2-3 RECOVERING FROM SYSTEM CRASH (continued)

7. If you have a remote (network) tape device, when no tape device is found, or when you answered ‘No’ to thequestion in the previous step, you see this message:

Remote or local restore ([r]emote, [l]ocal):

– If you answer ‘remote,’ you have chosen to restore from the network, and you must know the hostname, tapedevice name, and IP address of the remote system. You also need to know the IP address of your system. TheIP address, such as 192.0.2.1, always has four components separated by periods.– If you answer ‘local,’ you have chosen a tape device that is connected to your system, and you are promptedto enter the name of the tape device.

8. When you see the following message, remove the CD–ROM, insert your most recent full backup tape, then pressENTER.

Insert the first backup tape in the drive, then press <Enter>,[q]uit (from recovery), [r]estart:

There is a pause while the program retrieves several files from the tape describing the system state at the timethe backup was made. Then you see this message:

Erase /x filesystem and make new one (y,n)? [n]

It prompts you for every file system that was known at the time of the backup. Read the following to decide wheth-er to answer y or n.– If you answer n for no, the system tries to salvage as many files as possible. Then it uses your backup tapeto replace the files it could not salvage. Usually you should answer no, especially if your backup tape is not veryrecent. If the file systems were badly damaged, or the backup was from a different level operating system, youmay need to answer yes.– – If you answer y for yes, the system erases the file system and copies everything from your backup tape tothe disk. The system loses any information on that file system that you created between now and when you madeyour backup tape.

9. You see this message:

Starting recovery from tape.

After two or three minutes, the names of the files that the system is copying to the disk start scrolling. When therecovery is complete, you see this message:

Recovery complete, restarting system.

NoteIf your backup tapes were old, or you were changing your operating system level, you should reinstallthe operating system from the IRIX CD that came with your system after system recovery is com-plete. When you see the Startup System notifier, press ESC, or click STOP FOR MAINTENANCE.Then click Install System Software.

2-4 DISABLING THE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE PASSWORD

If you are in the System Maintenance menu, and you choose INSTALL SYSTEM SOFTWARE, RUN DIAGNOSTICS,RECOVER SYSTEM, or ENTER COMMAND MONITOR, you may be prompted for a password.

If you do not know the password, you can disable it by installing a jumper (a small cap that connects two pins) on thesystem board inside the workstation. The system board is located in the system module. To install the jumper, youmust first remove the system module and the PCI tray. Follow these steps:

1. Turn off the workstation by pressing the power button on the front.

2. Remove the system module by releasing the lever on the extreme left as you face the rear of the workstationand sliding the module out. See Section 1–6 System Module, of OC Tabl of the Component Replacement manual.

3. Release and remove the PCI tray. See Section 1–8 PCI Tray, of OC Tabl of the Component Replacement manual.

NOTICEBefore touching any of the components, attach the wrist strap to your wrist and to a metalpart of the chassis.

4. Remove the jumper from the system board in the location shown in Illustration 2–6.

You must remove the jumper if you choose to reset the PROM password.

2-5 INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC ENVIRONMENT (IDE) TESTS ON THE SBC (O2)

The IDE tests on the O2 are stand alone tests that must be run at the boot PROM level.

To run the O2 IDE tests from the OC, the user must first shut down applications. Next, cu into the SBC by openinga UNIX shell and typing: cu sbc. Once a serial connection has been established, the O2 must be shut down and re–started. Do this by logging into the SBC as root and typing the ‘halt’ command. Press ENTER when prompted to restartthe SBC. When the system begins start–up, a message appears giving the user the option of performing system main-tenance. Press ESC at this prompt to get to the System Maintenance Menu. Choose Option 3, Run Diagnostics.A hardware probe will be conducted and a default set of test scripts will be run automatically. This set takes approxi-mately 10 minutes to execute. Pass and failure information is updated to the screen.

When you run the tests, the following error message may appear. However, ignore this message.

RAM Check

1. The gantry processor (U87) performs read/write checks of its internal RAM, the external RAM (U92), and thedual port RAM (U77).

2. If a RAM check error occurs, the processor will stay in a hang up state, with the ERRG, LPG, RQG LED’s lightingon the TGP board.

If no error occurs, the processor proceeds to the following step.

ROM Check

3. The processor performs a data sum check on addresses 0 ∼ BFFF of the external ROM (U112).

4. If a ROM check error occurs, the processor will stay in a hang up state, with the ERRG, LPG, RQG LED’s lighting.

If no error occurs, the LPG LED blinks, and the processor proceeds to the following step.

Gantry Rotation Check and Azimuth Counter Initialization

5. The gantry processor starts rotating the gantry to check that the operation can be normally performed.

a. If the SYS–OFF–MNL service switch (SW1) on the TGP board is set to OFF, the system waits until the switchis set to SYS or MNL, with the RQG and LPG LED’s alternately blinking.

b. If power is not supplied to the servo amplifier, the rotation check is terminated, with the ERRG LED lighting.

If any other abnormal conditions/operations are found, the rotation check is terminated.

To start the rotation check anew, resolve the problems, and power on or reset the TGP board.

6. The gantry rotates at 15 sec/Rev, and the processor initializes the gantry azimuth counter with the GPLS1 signal.

a. If the initialization of the counter is not performed within 25 sec, the rotation is terminated, with the ERRG LEDlighting.

2-1-2 Table Processor

RAM Check

1. The table processor (U42) performs read/write checks of its internal RAM, the external RAM (U64), and the dualport RAM (U48).

2. If a RAM check error occurs, the processor will stay in a hang up state, with the ERRT, LPT, RQT, MNT LED’slighting on the TGP board.

If no error occurs, the processor proceeds to the following step.

ROM Check

3. The processor performs a data sum check on addresses 0 ∼ DFFF of the external ROM (U68).

4. If a ROM check error occurs, the processor will stay in a hang up state, with the ERRT, RQT, MNT LED’s lighting.

If no error occurs, the LPT LED blinks, and the processor proceeds to the following step.

Gantry Display and Switch LED Check

5. The processor sequentially displays test characters (numbers) on the gantry display, and at the same time, se-quentially lights gantry panel switch LED’s.Refer to the Rotational Operation section of Gantry, of the Functional Check / Adjustment manual.

Gantry Tilt and Table Up/down Relay Check

The gantry tilt or table up/down operation is performed by a pump/valve mechanism which is powered by AC 115 V.This power is conveyed through two relays connected in series on SUB BD. Refer to Illustration 2–1. With theseconnections, if one relay of the two failed (that is, always closed), the power flow can be cut off by the other relay.This check verifies these relay operations.

6. The processor closes one relay which is controlled by the enable lines, and verifies that the gantry tilt or tableup/down does not take place.

If the operation takes place, the other relay (direct) is considered to be failed (closed), since any key on the gantryswitch panel is not pressed while the relay (enable) is activated; and an error message is displayed on the opera-tor console (OC).

RAM Check

1. The management processor (U88) performs read/write checks of its internal RAM, the external RAM (U62), andthe dual port RAM (U48, U77).

2. If a RAM check error occurs, the processor will stay in a hang up state, with one of ERRM, LPM, RQM, MNMLED’s lighting on the TGP board.

If no error occurs, the processor proceeds to the following step.

ROM Check

3. The processor performs a data sum check on addresses 0 ∼ BFFF of the external ROM (U111).

4. If a ROM check error occurs, the processor will stay in a hang up state, with the ERRM, RQM, MNM LED’s light-ing.

If no error occurs, the LPM LED blinks.

2-2 OGP BOARD POWER–ON TEST

The OGP board is equipped on the gantry rotative frame and includes a microprocessor called Scan Processor, andmainly performs the following controls in scan sequence, according to commands from the Management processoron the TGP board.

� Scan control

� DAS control

� X–ray generator (JEDI) control

� Aperture control

� Positioning light control

After powering on or resetting the OGP board, the scan processor performs ROM based power–on tests (RAM check→ ROM check), as described below.

RAM Check

1. The scan processor performs read/write checks of the external RAM and its internal RAM.

2. If a RAM check error occurs, the processor will stay in a hang up state, with the ERRS, LOOPS LED’s lightingon the OGP board.

If no error occurs, the processor proceeds to the following step.

ROM Check

3. The processor performs a data sum check of the external ROM.

4. If a ROM check error occurs, the processor will stay in a hang up state, with the ERRS LED lighting.

If no error occurs, the LOOPS LED blinks.

SECTION 3 – ERROR MESSAGE

3-1 ERROR MESSAGE

The errors described in Table 3–1 through 3–53 are detected by the TGP, OGP, or CIF board. When an error occurs,the error information is sent to the operator console (OC) using the Status communication.

Error with no Error Message

If either of the following errors occur, the microprocessor on the TGP or OGP board are forced to run in an infiniteloop, and no error message is sent to the OC.

� RAM, ROM check error:These checks are performed during a power–up sequence.

� Processor hang up:This is detected by the watchdog timer at intervals of 10.9 msec.

3-1 ERROR MESSAGE (continued)

Error Class

The errors detected by the TGP, OGP, or CIF board are either classified as Error Class, or Information Class, accord-ing to below:

� Error:If an error of this ‘Error’ class occurs during a scan, the scan is aborted, and an error message is displayedon the OC monitor.

� Information (written as ‘Infor.’ in Table 3–1 ∼ 3–53):If an error of this ‘Information’ class occurs during a scan, the scan will be continued, and an error messageis not displayed on the OC monitor.

Communication via Slip Rings (RS422)

The scan processor on the OGP board communicates with the management processor on the TGP board via sliprings.Normally, when one of the two processors receives communication data from the other processor, the receiving proc-essor checks a checksum data, and sends back an ACK message to the sender, if the data is OK; otherwise, sendsback a NACK message. When the sender receives this NACK message, it resends the data. If this repeats threetimes (three NACK’s), the communication is regarded as an error. If the receiver does not send ACK nor NACK withina specified time, this also is regarded as an error communication.

2-4 ERROR REPORTING

Np system only gets the simplified error code from the Jedi generator.

The Np system errorlog adds to the simplified error code the following information :

� error message (refer to the Np system documentation)

� system phase : state of the system when the error occurred. Take care, the system state may bedifferent to the generator phase (refer to the Np system documentation)

� system time : date and time when the error occurred. Take care, the system time may be differentto the generator time

Whenever a generator error is logged in the system errorlog file and displayed on the operatorconsole, the Jedi errorlog upload functionality is available to get more detailed information about theerror.

This function must be performed from the operator console.

The simplified error code must be used to find the Jedi error code in the Jedi errorlog file.

Having these two information, look at the Jedi trouble shooting table to find the FRU to replace.

Error codes can also be read by connecting the laptop

Before any manual intervention, ensure the main power is off. Apply lockout–tag out procedure for your own safety when manipulating inside theequipment is required.

2-5-1 Detailed Error Description & Troubleshooting Guide

The table below provides guidelines to troubleshoot Generator problems based on error code.

For each code, there is :

– Associated message and additional explanation related to the error occurrence.

– List potential cause, in the order of expected probability.

– Recommended action, with, in some cases, link to some more information as indicated wherecases apply, such as to run some specific diagnostics.

Codes are sorted by ascending order both for simplified code and error code.

Refer to the theory of operation for error code structure.

Information about associated data structure is located at the end of each error code subset wheneverit applies.

Whenever wiring, cabling, LED check is mentioned in the recommended actions, refer to the LEDDescription or to Illustration 2–1.

2-6 WARNING ERRORS

Warning errors are the result of automated and regular background monitoring for either softwareevents or voltages threshold overtaking.

Those errors are merely for engineering usage and do not indicate any hardware error failure.

However, as they are logged into the Generator Err_log file, just as the previous list of error, they arelisted here to help error sorting out.

Should too many of them are seen when viewing error log, it is advised to report them via CQA, sincethe equipment is still operating.

3-4 ERROR REPORTING

3-4-1 NP Generator Error Reporting

Np system only gets the simplified error code from the Jedi Generator.The Np system errorlog adds to the simplified error code the following information:

� error message (refer to the Np system documentation)

� system phase : state of the system when the error occurred. Take care, the system state is different ofthe Generator phase (refer to the Np system documentation)

� system time : date and time when the error occurred. Take care, the system time is different of the Genera-tor time

Whenever a Generator error is logged in the system errorlog file and displayed on the operator console, the Jedi error-log upload functionality is available to get more detailed information about the error.This function must be performed from the operator console.The simplified error code must be used to find the Jedi error code in the Jedi errorlog file.Having these two information, look at the Jedi trouble–shooting table to find the FRU to replace.

Error codes can also be read by connecting the service laptop.

3-4-2 Tiger Generator Error Reporting (not for NP++ and Ebisu systems)

Tiger console only displays the simplified error code from the Jedi Generator.

Whenever a Generator error is displayed on the operator console, the Jedi errorlog upload functionality is availableto get more detailed information about the error.This function must be performed from the service laptop.The simplified error code must be used to find the Jedi error code in the Jedi errorlog file.Having these two information, look at the Jedi trouble shooting table to find the FRU to replace.

*Note: Before replacing the rotation board, check the impedance of the primary and secondary of the HEMIT. Inorder to do a correct measure, check before the impedance of the cables of the multimeter.

• The impedance of the primary is measured between two pins of the connector J1 of the Bouchonboard in the HEMIT (3 measures). The value is low, between 0.8 ohm and 1.6 ohm.• If the impedance is too low (short –circuit) replace the HEMIT• If the impedance is too high (open circuit) replace the HEMIT

• The impedance of the secondary. Measure between two pins of the HV connector marked as “ST”.(large, small and common). For the three measures the value should be between 0.8 ohm and 1.6ohm.• If the impedance is too low (short –circuit) replace the HEMIT• If the impedance is too high (open circuit) replace the HEMIT

The purpose of this test is to verify that the HV power inverter is working properly. The inverter is commanded at afixed frequency and is loaded with a short circuit. Verification is made that the inverter currents are correctly set. . Atthe same time verification is made that no High voltage is measured. This test is performed without connecting theHV Tank to the inverter so that no Xray is generated. Anode rotation and filament drive are not activated during thistest.

Pre–requisites :

� Generator input line in an acceptable range ( 380V–10% to 480V+10% for 3–phase AC input )

� kV control board alive and running : S0–S7 Leds are lit successively or a combination of them blink

� inverter gate_cmd board DC supply present : DS300 neon is lit

� inverter dual snubber board DC supply present : DS1 neon is lit

� Inverter gate command diagnostic passed without failure

� Generator input line in an acceptable range ( 380V–10% to 480V+10% for 3–phase AC input )

� kV control board alive and running : S0–S7 Leds are lit successively or a combination of them blink

� inverter gate_cmd board DC supply present : DS300 neon is lit

� inverter dual snubber board DC supply present : DS1 neon is lit

� Inverter gate command diagnostic passed without failure

� Inverter in short circuit diagnostic passed without failure

� (*) HV receptacles must be filled with oil if HV cables are removed.

4-4-1 NP Generator Error Reporting

Np system only gets the simplified error code from the Jedi Generator.The Np system errorlog adds to the simplified error code the following information:

� error message (refer to the Np system documentation)

� system phase : state of the system when the error occurred. Take care, the system state is different ofthe Generator phase (refer to the Np system documentation)

� system time : date and time when the error occurred. Take care, the system time is different of the Genera-tor time

Whenever a Generator error is logged in the system errorlog file and displayed on the operator console, the Jedi error-log upload functionality is available to get more detailed information about the error.This function must be performed from the operator console.The simplified error code must be used to find the Jedi error code in the Jedi errorlog file.Having these two information, look at the Jedi trouble–shooting table to find the FRU to replace.

Error codes can also be read by connecting the service laptop.

As no filament drive is applied, no XRays aregenerated.This test also allow to separate Generator from HV cable or x–ray tube problem by running it with or without the HVcables plugged on the HV tank. (*)

Pre–requisites :

� Generator input line in an acceptable range ( 380V–10% to 480V+10% for 3–phase AC input )

� kV control board alive and running : S0–S7 Leds are lit successively or a combination of them blink

� inverter gate_cmd board DC supply present : DS300 neon is lit

� inverter dual snubber board DC supply present : DS1 neon is lit

� Inverter gate command diagnostic passed without failure

� Inverter in short circuit diagnostic passed without failure

� (*) HV receptacles must be filled with oil if HV cables are removed.

Test type : Manual operation is required.

CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT

Any permanently installed equipment containing operator or patient accessible surfaces must provide backup protec-tion against electric shock,in case the BASIC INSULATION fails. In addition to BASIC INSULATION,Class1 equip-ment contains a direct connection to a PROTECTIVE(EARTH) CONDUCTOR which prevents shocks when a persontouches a broken piece of equipment or touches two different equipment surfaces simultaneously.

TYPE B EQUIPMENT

CLASS I, II, or III EQUIPMENT or EQUIPMENT with INTERNAL ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCES provide an ade-quate degree of protection against electric shock arising from (allowable) LEAKAGE CURRENTS or a breakdownin the reliability of the protective earth connection.

ORDINARY EQUIPMENT

Enclosed EQUIPMENT without protection against the ingress of water.

OPERATION 0f EQUIPMENT

CONTINUOUS OPERATION WITH INTERMITTENT LOADING.

Operation in which EQUIPMENT is connected continuously to the SUPPLY MAINS. The stated permissible loadingtime is so short that the long term on–load operating temperature is not attained. The ensuing interval in loading is,however, not sufficiently long for cooling down to the long term no–load operating temperature.

EQUIPMENT not suitable for use in the presence of a FLAMMABLE ANESTHETIC MIXTURE WITH AIR or WITHOXYGEN or NITROUS OXIDE

CLEANING

The ProSpeed S series system is NOT WATERPROOF. It is NOT designed to protect internal components againstthe ingress of liquids.Clean external system surfaces(Gantry,table,consoles and accessories)with a soft cloth dippedin hot water and wrung DAMP/DRY. (NOT dripping!) IF NECESSARY, use only mild (dish washing liquid) soap to re-move dirt.

NOTICEAvoid damage to equipment! Some ”spray and wipe”cleaners etch and permanently cloudclear plastic surfaces!! Use only warm water and mild liquid soap to clean surfaces.
