DLX SYSTEM DESIGNATORS
Reference designators are codes which simplify component identification. These codes may
also be referred to as “location codes” because they are primarily derived from the location of
components and assemblies within a major assembly. The code is a convenient shorthand
which defines each component, its schematic location, and its location in the hardware. See
Illustration 1–1.

5.6 DLX Installation Ground Cables Check Procedure
In an installed DLX system, the impedance between the DLX ground connections from the LFX2 and any
metal parts must not exceed 0.1 ohm. Measuring this impedance is done by generating a current on the
ground connection to be checked, and checking the drop in voltage.
1. Disconnect the equipment from the mains.

2. Power on the measuring apparatus.
Note: Measurement apparatus: SEFELEC model CP255A 25A, or other similar model filling the following
requirements: 10A to 25A, and vacuum voltage of 6.0 V maximum.
3. Connect the apparatus to the connections to be tested.
4. Generate a current between the two ground terminals that is greater than 10A and less than 25A.

6.1.2 Insert the damaged tape in the drive
6.1.3 Operator has to wait several minutes because if the first directory is unreadable, service Application
will reach the end of tape to read the 2nd directory (security directory for DLX2 tape format).
D If the Tape directory appears on the Browser from Tape screen:

you will need to select all of the patients, restore them to the image disk, and tou will be able to archive
them to a new Exabyte tape.
Refer to the RESTORE procedure paragraph 6.1.5.1
D If the “recovering tool for damaged tapes” window appears on the Browser from Tape screen
(see Illustration 2–36):

Type the command: dmesg | grep mem <return>
Size of memory is indicated by: mem = ...........(in octets)

If size is smaller than 64 Mbytes, you have to install memory extension (Refer to following procedure)

Memory kits extension are : 2201936 (1x8 MB) for SS4 Workstations
2201938 (1x8 MB + 1x32MB) for SS4 Workstations
2202025 (1x32MB) for SS4 Workstations
2202026 (2x16MB) for Classic Workstations
5.3.2 CASE #1
Your SS4 Workstation has 32 MB of memory: one slot used by one 32 MB bank. Mount the 32 MB memory
extension into the next memory slot.
5.3.3 CASE #2
Your SS4 Workstation has 24 MB of memory: three slots used by three 8 MB memory banks extension into
the next available memory slot.
The SS4 memory needs to be extended to 32 megabytes. For this the 8 megabytes kit 2201936 needs to be
installed.
Then mount the 32 MB memory extension into the next available slot.
Note: A system with 56 Megabytes can operate normally. The only thing is that the Ethernet transfers are
a little slow. The 8 megabytes kit can be installed in a later visit to the site.
In both cases, at the end of installation, you must have 64 MB of memory.

IP ADDRESS CLASSES

0 8 16 24 32
0 NETWORK HOST
Class A network address between 1 and 127.

Maximum of 127 class A networks and 16777214 hosts per network.
Typical netmask (no mask) is 255.0.0.0.
e.g. : 3 . 45 . 16. 101 Network address 3.0.0.0

network host id
CLASS B NETWORK
0 8 16 24 32
1 0 NETWORK HOST
Class B network address between 128 and 191.

(16 bits for the Network, 16 bits for the host).
e.g. : 129 . 32 . 100 . 54 Network address 129.32.0.0

network host id
CLASS C NETWORK
0 8 16 24 32
1 1 NETWORK HOST
Class C network between 192 and 223

(24 bits for the Network, 8 bits for the host)
Most commonly used for small “Local Area Networks”. (A lot of possible networks but few hosts per
network).
2–180
REV 0 sm 2198944-100

SUBNETWORKS
Allows a single network address to span several physical networks.
Some of the bits in the host portion of an IP address are used to specify the subnet number on the network
backbone, and the remaining are used to specify the host number within the subnet. How these bits are divided
between subnet and host depends on the type of netmask used.
D The 0–bit netmask (255.255.255.0) is the default netmask for Class C networks, since it has no effect
on the IP address.
D The 7–bit and 8–bit netmasks are useless because they don’t contain any useable host addresses.
D Of the remaining netmasks types, the 3–bit, 4–bit, and 5–bit types are the most practical to use because
they offer realistic subnet/host combinations.
Possible Netmasks for Class C Network (not commonly used)

8–bit 255.255.255.255 11111111 0 256 0 0
To determine which netmask type to use, you must first know which subnet/host combination is needed for the
network.
When looking at the table, you can notice that the number of useable host addresses is always equal to the
number of host addresses minus 2.
e.g.: 8 >>6 useable ; 16 >>14 useable ; 64 >>62 useable host addresses.

If, for instance, we consider a 255.255.255.192 netmask, we can see that we are able to split the network into 4

SECTION 6
HIS/RIS | DICOM DLX ROUTE TABLE
6.1 Purpose
If the customer network requires a router to communicate from DLX to another station, the router address
must be declared in DLX
Note: It is important that you contact the hospital network administrator to determine whether–given the
IP address of the DLX on le1 (le1 is the name of the second Ethernet port), the IP address of the
HIS/RIS review station and the netmask on le1–there is a gateway to declare on the DLX side.
Adding router information is not always necessary.
6.2 Explanantions
D How to declare a router address:

A router address is declared by using the following UNIX command:
route add net <Destination IP> <Router IP> <metric>
Route add net allows you to operate directly on the routing for the specific network indicated by
<Destination IP>.
The gateway ”router” argument indicates the Network gateway to which the packet should be
addressed and the metric argument indicates the number of hops to the destination.
D What are you going to do for HIS/RIS:

The system must be loaded with the necessary routes (address paths) to allow access.
Since all external calls from the system are routed through the External Router mode, the address of the
External Router must be included in each route.
The command used is:
route add net < HIS/RIS station subnet address> <Router address> 1

THE ”AUTOMATIC REVIEW AFTER ACQUISITION” OPTION

WARNING SHOULD BE SET:
. TO YES FOR CARDIAC LABS
. ACCORDING TO THE CUSTOMER WISHES FOR ANGIO LABS
Parameter 1: Shutter diameter (in pixels)
– This is the diameter of the black circular mask that appears on the image monitor during acquisition
and processing. This value is 512 (an inscribed circle) for a 50Hz system and 470 for a 60Hz
system.
Parameter 2: Vascular Setup Optimum Level (0..255)
– This specifics the desired pixel level of a ”good” trial image. When performing Vascular trials, the
DLX will calculate a new (optimal) iris value based on achieving the maximum histogram level
(Peak Video Level) of this value. This value is set to 230.
3-10
REV 0 sm 2198944-100

Parameter 3: Vascular Lower threshold setup value (0..254)
– This value defines the smallest region value of trial images. During a trial, all regions with a pixel
value of less than this value will be shaded. To prevent too shading, the lower default threshold is
10 (not 0); therefore, all values greater that 10 but less than the Vascular Lower Threshold setup
value will be shaded.
Parameter 4: Vascular Upper threshold setup value (0..254)
– This value defines the uppermost region of trial images. During a trial, all regions with a pixel value
of less than 255 but more than ”Vascular Upper threshold setup value” will be shaded. This value
is set to 240.
Parameter 5: Cardiac Setup Optimum Level (0..255)
– This specifies the desired pixel level for a ”good” trial image for Cardiac aperture optimize
acquisitions. When performing Cardiac trials, the DLX will calculate a new (optimal) iris value
based on achieving a maximum histogram level (Peak Video Level) of this value. This value is set
to 230.
Parameter 6: Automatic review after acquisition (YES/NO/PAUSE)
– When YES is selected, the review starts immediately after each acquisition is completed. If NO
is selected the user must press the REVIEW key to start the review function. If Pause is selected
the system is in review pause mode.
Parameter 7: Acquisition Subtract Curve (#, Brightness, Contrast)
– Allows the user to define a specific B/C curve for this specific acquisition. See section 5.12 for
details on B/C curves.
Parameter 8: Fluoro Roadmap Curve (#, Brightness, Contrast)
– Allows the user to define specific B/C curve for this specific acquisition. See section 5.12 for
details on B/C curves.
Parameter 9: No longer used.
Parameter 10: Line lock option (YES/NO)
– When set to YES, the line lock is turned ON during vascular acquisition.
Parameter 11: Type of Fluoro (CONTINUOUS/PULSED)
– Defines the type of fluoro option that is installed on the Advantx system.
Parameter 12: Roadmap option exists.
– Indicates whether or not the Roadmap option is installed.

– IMMEDIATE DISPLAY: When set to YES, photos are displayed automatically on the second
monitor when a Store Photo is performed.
3-11
REV 0 sm 2198944-100

Parameter 13: Number of VCR
– Enter the number of VCRs (1 for a monoplane or biplane system, 2 if 2 VCRs are available – on
a biplane system only). If the parameter Automatic VCR in acquisition is set to YES, DLX
automatically records each acquisition performed either in the cardiac or the angio application on
to the VCR.
Parameter 14: DA MODE LUT (NORM,INV)
– If this parameter is set to INV the inversed LUT specified for DA stepping is used; otherwise the
normal gamma LUT is used.
Parameter 15: TRIAL BOX SIZE:
– Image area/trial box area ratio per default.

– Available for CARDIAC and VASCULAR modes.
Parameter 16: HIGHLIGHTED BOUNDARIES TRIAL DISPLAY (Y/N)
– If the parameter is set to YES, all underexposed areas (pixels having values smaller than the
vascular upper threshold value) have their boundaries highlighted on the monitor.
This parameter will be used for both DSA trial and Stepping Optimized Sub Test Run.
Parameter 17: LIH ON ONE PLANE RETAINS THE OTHER PLANE (Y/N)
– Fluoroscopy on a plane does not blank the other’s plane fluoroscopy images.
– Fluoroscopy images on live monitors are tagged with ”L” at the left.
Parameter 18: IRIS CORRECTION FOR BOLUS (–75..75)
– Specifies the desired correction to apply to the current Iris of bolus on terms of aperture steps. The
default value is –35. The range of the parameter is [–75..75].
A. Default value
– The default value –35 corresponds to a 40 cm FOV acquisition with two legs. (LCA system)
– On a 32 cm system or a 22 cm system, this value shall be set to 0 since only one leg is usually
visualized (no gap on the center of the image ). (LCV+ or LC+ systems)
B. Iris readjustment
ANY IRIS CORRECTION FACTOR READJUSTMENT FOR BOLUS

WARNING SHALL BE MADE ONLY WHEN ALL CALIBRATIONS (DOSES, DSA
IRIS APERTURES, T009 SERVICE UNIT) ARE PROPERLY
PERFORMED.
THIS READJUSTMENT HAS TO BE MADE WITH THE
REFERENCE OF SEVERAL BOLUS EXAMINATIONS BEFORE
AND AFTER THE READJUSTMENT.
3-12
REV 0 sm 2198944-100

B.1/ If, in application, image saturation is frequently observed within the sequence:
– First check that bolus filters are properly used and put in place.
– If the application is OK, iris has to be closed by increments of 10 steps until the phenomenon
is strongly reduced. That means that one bolus examination at least has to take place between
each iris increment of 10 steps.
B.2/ If, in application, levels are far from saturation within the sequence :
– Iris has to be opened by decrements of 10 steps until images are just under the saturation
within the sequence. That means that one bolus examination at least has to take place between
each iris increment.
– Never decrease the iris by more than 10 steps at a time;
– Check after the iris readjustment that no saturation is created ( use CV phantom on a 40 cm
long bolus ).
Parameter 19: IRIS CORRECTION FOR SPIN (–75..75)
– Specifies the desired correction to apply to the current Iris of Spin in terms of Iris aperture steps.
The default value is 0. The range of the parameter is [–75..75].
A. Default value
The default value corresponds to the default aperture for DSA. 0 for LCA or LCV+ or LC+ systems.
B. Iris readjustment
ANY IRIS CORRECTION FACTOR READJUSTMENT FOR BOLUS

WARNING SHALL BE MADE ONLY WHEN ALL CALIBRATIONS (DOSES, DSA
IRIS APERTURES, T009 SERVICE UNIT) ARE PROPERLY
PERFORMED.
THIS READJUSTMENT HAS TO BE MADE WITH THE
REFERENCE OF SEVERAL SPIN EXAMINATIONS BEFORE AND
AFTER THE READJUSTMENT.
B.1/ If, in application, levels at image periphery are frequently saturated within the sequence :
– First check that lateral blades or neck absorber (if any) are properly put in place
– If no application issue appears, iris has to be closed by increments of 10 steps until the
phenomenon is strongly reduced. That means that one spin examination at least has to take
place between each iris increment of 10 steps.
B.2/ If, in application, levels are far from saturation within the sequence :
– Iris has to be opened by decrements of 10 steps until some levels at image periphery are just
under the saturation within the sequence. That means that one spin examination at least has
to take place between each iris increment.
– Never decrease the iris by more than 10 steps at a time;
– Check after the iris readjustment that no saturation is created (use CV phantom on a 15° spin).

– The Default Transfer Mode can only be used when the Network Option is set to Gemnet. When
the Default Transfer is set to Automatic, any sequence that is newly acquired by the DLX will
automatically be sent to Gemnet. The DLX keypad ”Auto Archive” key is automatically lit.
If the Default Transfer is set to Manual, only items that are manually selected are transferred to
Gemnet.
– The Auto transfer path default value can only be used when the Network Option is set to Gemnet
and the Exabyte is selected. Any new exam will automatically be initialized in order to send its
newly acquired sequences automatically either to Network, to tape or to both according the
selected option. These destinations can be partially changed for one exam in the Exam Information
Screen.
Note: In some critical protocols, it may exist a need to retrieve the archived images on the control room or on
the exam room monitor.
The only way to retrieve images is from Exabyte. In case of Auto–Archive, select on the Exam Browser
one of the key : Tape or Both.
– The Fixed/User can modify auto transfer node allows or prohibits the user from changing the

This option allows the user to update the DLX patient database from an outside His/Ris system.
This feature eliminates the need for manual data entry from the DLX console. Data transfer
between the DLX and the His/Ris system uses DICOM V3.0 standards.
The following is an operational description of a Worklist request:
In the patient Browser, the operator presses the Worklist key. The arrow cursor changes to a clock
(busy) cursor, and the message Patients Worklist request in progress.... is displayed. After the DLX
has retrieved the Worklist data from the Worklist server, the Browser patient list is updated and a
message indicating successful processing of the Worklist data is displayed, Patient Worklist
transfer succeeded.
Along with this final message, detailed statistics are given about the total number of items
requested, the successfully added items, the number of duplicate (dismissed) items, and the number
of items that failed to be created.
Note: 1– The Worklist key is accessible only when DLX is offline with
respect to Advantx; i.e., not in Exam Ready Mode.
2– The Worklist key is dimmed if a background Ethernet Transfer is
in progress.
3– While Worklist data processing is taking place, no Acquisition or
DICOM Ethernet transfer can be started.
a. The Worklist key is accessible only when DLX is offline with respect to Advantx; i.e., not in
Exam Ready Mode.
b. The Worklist key is dimmed if a background Ethernet Transfer is in progress.
c. While Worklist data processing is taking place, no Acquisition or DICOM Ethernet transfer
can be started.
When the system detects an error during Worklist processing, the message Invalid data received is
displayed, and the busy cursor reverts to the arrow cursor.
Possible causes of error are:
. Consistency of patient name, data length, or forbidden characters,
. Network problems,
. Destination system or destination software down,
. File access failures (on either DLX or DICOM remote server side).
Parameter 6: COMPAS Option (Computerized Optimum Method for Profile Angle of Sight)
– This function lets you improve the visibility of vascular structures, in intervention procedures, and
the accuracy of quantification in diagnostics. The COMPAS function is available at any time,
except when the selected Viewer does not correspond to the Exam in progress.
The Compas function helps the user position the gantry at calculated angles for L and a horizontal
pivoting. This allows the C–arm to rotate around the axis of the vessel of interest. This function
is especially useful during an examination, but can also be used with a Demo exam.

curves can be defined in DLXINSTAL: subtract acquisition, roadmap fluoro. Acquisition uses these values
to set the window while performing these functions. Now, in DLXINSTALL acquisition subtract curves,
the brightness and contrast correspond to application parameters.
The shape of the curve is:
255 / / OUTPUT / VALUE / / / 0 INPUT 511 VALUE
To define the brightness/contrast curve enter the following 3 parameters:
1. The first parameter defines the type of the curve.

This value should always be 1.
2. The second parameter defines the brightness value: its range is 0..511. Its adjustment corresponds to an
horizontal translation of the curve.
0< Brighter 256 Darker >511
medium position
centered on level
128
Normally this value is 256.
3. The third parameter defines the contrast value: its range is 0...511. Its adjustment corresponds to a
rotation of the slope around its middle.
0< slope <0 256 slope >0 >511
reverse video area normal video area
slope = 0 –90 .......–45 .........0 ...........45 ..........90
For a neutral curve use the following values:
Curve: 1
