Support Display can be used for any raw data files listed in RAW DATA FILE DIRECTORY (Support program) or any
files stored in OFF LINE SCAN; For this, these raw data files should be stored in STATISTICS. In STATISTICS, a
raw data file can be stored to any of No. 1 ∼ 3.
Support Display can also be used for any mean files listed in MEAN FILE DIRECTORY, or stored in STATISTICS,
CALCULATION WITH MEAN FILE, or CALCULATION WITH RAW DATA.
In Support Display, use the following file names for FILE SELECTION.
All the mean files are stored in a file named SUPMEAN, since a mean file only takes storage space for one view.

Data at each point on the image field are depicted as shades of gray. The data range of a raw data file is between
–1000000 and 1000000, and a specified range within the data range translates into between –1000 and 3000 gray
levels, which are then displayed on the image field; that is, after you specify the MIN and MAX values, the specified
range is expanded (or reduced) to the –1000 ∼ 3000 range. See Illustration 3–9.

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION
2-1 OVERVIEW
The Power–ON test program is used for OC self–diagnostics during the Power up sequence, and is resident in the
ROM on the CPW assy.
This test program has two categories; Power On Test 1 (P–ON 1) and Power On Test 2 (P–ON 2).
The P–ON Test 2 includes more detailed tests than P–ON Test 1, and takes longer to run.
P–ON Test 1 is normally selected during routine customer operation. P–ON Test 2 can be used by the field engineer
to perform a more detailed analysis in the event of an error occurring on the system.
During test execution, the test currently running, along with the description/name and status (pass/fail), are identified
in 2 or 3 ways depending on the test concerned as follows:
2. CRT display monitor (all tests, except CPW Phase1, and DISP (DISP2) Phase 1 tests)
If at any point during the P ON Tests an error is encountered, the testing is halted and the failed test number/code
remains on the CPW LEDs. With the exception of CPW Phase 1 and DISP (DISP2) Phase 1 tests, the test name/des-
cription will also be displayed on the CRT monitor along with a brief error description.
Note
There normally no need to connect a CPW RS232C terminal , since no additional information other
than that on the LEDs and monitor can be obtained during P ON Tests. Connecting a terminal is only
necessary for the execution of the off line tests.
TABLE 2–1
TEST PROCESSING TIME
More detailed status and information is displayed on the CRT from CPW Phase 2 test, so it is normally not necessary
to decode the LEDs status.

The DIP SW setting information is read at the moment of system power up or reset. Changing the DIP switch setting
during test execution will have no effect on the test sequence. If you want to change the parameters, first set the DIP
SW accordingly, then press the OC reset switch to start the test.
Note
This test program does not write any data to the HD, but it does require a properly formatted HD.
i.e; The tests will run with a normal operational HD, but not with an unformatted replacement HD.

The CPW LEDs display a unique test number/code for CPW Phase 1 and DISP (DISP2) Phase 2 tests. Following
these tests, some codes are duplicated. The CRT (on the Operator Console) displays the test program status from
CPW TEST (Phase 2) onwards.
A terminal connected to the CPW will display the test program status for all tests.
Note
If an error occurs during P on test, the test and CPW LEDs stop to run. In addition, for the test after
CPW test (Phase 2), the error message can be displayed on the CRT monitor.

3-1 OVERVIEW
This section describes the System Power–up Sequence, which consists of hardware tests, the Operating System
(OS) load, and Applications program start up. Each processor board (FMP1, DMP4, PDC) has 8–bit LEDs that display
system status in hexadecimal code.
The power–up sequence includes the power–up self tests shown in Illustration 3–1. The following section tells you
how to skip these self tests by setting a DIP SW. The hexadecimal number in each rectangle represents the LED
status displayed on each board (FMP1, DMP4, PDC). Read the LEDs from top to bottom (MSB to LSB) . Decode
the top four LEDs to create the most significant hex digit (the leftmost digit) and the bottom four to create the least
significant digit (the rightmost digit). All hexadecimal codes are displayed with the letter ”H”: XXH

“ ” means “Illuminated” and equals a “1.” “ ” equals “0”. LEDs are set at the start of each routine. If any error
occurs during self–test, the LED status becomes the error code, and the power–up sequence halts. If an error occurs
during the boot–up sequence, the LEDs display an error code. The following sections describe these error codes.
Detailed error information is also stored in the Crash Save Area, which is described in Section 3-6.

Note
Each test for the ETC does not depend on OC self–diagnostics test (Power–ON/Off–Line tests), so
that both self–diagnostics tests of OC and ETC can be performed at the same time.
6-1-1 General
The ETC (DC–X Ethernet Controller Interface) Power–ON test program is used for ETC self–diagnostics during the
Power up sequence, and is resident in the ROM on the ETC assy.
During test execution, the test currently running, along with the description/name and status (pass/fail), are identified
in ETC LEDs.
If at any point during the Power–ON Tests an error is encountered, the testing is halted and the error code displays
on the ETC LEDs.
: ( For HARDWARE)
Switch Setting
Set the DIP switch on the ETC Assy (location S8A) as required according to the following;
ON
’1’
’0’
1 2 3 4
Note
The DIP SW setting information is read at the moment of system power up or reset. Changing the
DIP switch setting during test execution will have no effect on the test sequence. If you want to
change the parameters, first set the DIP SW accordingly, then press the OC reset switch to start the
test.

D Operation Mode The normal mode. Scans are performed in this mode.
D Service/Calibration Mode In this mode the generator accepts and executes Service Tests (described
in Section 4), or performs MA Calibration.
For each of the generator modes, Generator Phases are defined as described below.
D phase 0 (Power–on Test or Service Mode) After powering on or resetting the generator, the generator
is in phase 0, during which power–on tests are performed within the generator. Also, the generator ac-
cepts Service Test Commands in this phase.
D phase 1 (Idling) The generator proceeds to phase 1, after the power–on tests are finished without
errors. In this phase a preheating current is flowing in the x–ray tube filament (approximately 3 A).
D phase 3 (Exposure Ready) The generator is ready for exposure, waiting for the exposure command
from the system (Operator Console).
D phase 4 (KV Rise) The KV starts to rise. When the KV exceeds 75 % of the set KV, the generator
goes to phase 5.
D phase 6 (KV Fall) The KV starts to fall. When the KV falls below 25 % of the set KV, the generator
goes to phase 7.
D phase 7 (Rotor Brake) The generator starts to decelerate the rotor by applying inverse voltage to the
x–ray tube stator, then goes to phase 1.

Circuit Boards
The OBC (On Board Computer) rack or X–ray Generator Controller rack contains four circuits boards:
a board which contains an inverter for the x–ray tube filament and controls the filament current;
a board which controls the CTVRC power module which supplies electric currents to the x–ray tube stator;
a board which controls an inverter which generates high frequency power for the high voltage tanks;
and CPU Board.
These boards are called Filament Board, Rotor Board, KV Board, and CPU Board, respectively, in these X–ray Gener-
ator Diagnostics sections.
Inverters
The x–ray generator has three units of inverters:
an invertor which supplies power to the x–ray tube stator and is contained within the CTVRC power module;
an inverter which supplies power for heating the x–ray tube filament. This inverter exists on the Filament Board; and
an inverter which outputs high frequency power to the high voltage transformers.
These inverters are called Rotor Inverter, Filament Inverter, and KV Inverter, respectively, in these X–ray Generator
Diagnostics sections.
The KV Inverter includes Anode Inverter and Cathode Inverter.

D Generator Error
If a Generator Error occurs, the generator takes the following actions (refer to Illustration 3–1):
– terminates the exposure (INV_ON) and resets the KV Board (KV_RESET and SPIT_RESET)
– disables the filament heating (FIL_EN) and resets the Filament Board (FIL_RESET)
– disables the rotor operation (ROT_EN) and resets the Rotor Board (ROT_RESET)
– goes to phase 1 and resumes filament preheating three seconds after the reset operations.
D Command Error
If a Command Error occurs, the generator sends the error code to the system (Operator Console). Howev-
er, the generator does not change its actions.

4-1 GENERAL
The diagnostic tests for the x–ray generator are classified into the following three kinds:
D Power–on Test
This is automatically performed when the generator is powered–on, or is reset. The tests are mainly per-
formed on Rotor Board, Filament Board, KV board, and CPU Board itself (self test).
D Service Tests
Test the rotor control function, filament current control function, KV control function, or PDU operation.
Autotest
This is a predetermined sequence of tests, performed by the CPU Board. If an error is detected, the error code is
sent to the Operator Console.
Autotests can also be executed by off–line commands, described in the SERVICE TEST section. The test results
shown on the CRT monitor includes hexadecimal codes, which tell that how the values of logical signals on the circuit
board changed in response to test signals; which may be useful information to know the detailed circuit operations
on the board, but not so for diagnostic purposes; therefore, these will not be explained.
D DUART test: DTACK, TIMER, DUART A internal loop, DUART B internal loop, Timer Interrupt
4-3-2 Commands/Status
In the ∗∗∗ GENERATOR TEST ∗∗∗ menu, you can send commands listed below to the x–ray generator by entering
them at the TO: prompt. Responses from the x–ray generator are displayed at the FROM: prompt.
TABLE 4–1
SERVICE TEST MODE COMMANDS
COMMAND/ DESCRIPTION
STATUS
( Safety Loop Close Closes the Safety Loop on the system side, which lights the Scan Set"
button. After this operation, when the generator closes the Safety Loop on the generator side,
the complete Safety Loop is closed, which brings up the 550 (or 750) VDC.
) Safety Loop Open Opens the Safety Loop on the system side, which extinguishes the Scan
Set" button.
< Exposure Command ON Asserts the Exposure Command signal to the generator. This operaĆ
tion lights the Scan" button. If the generator is ready (in phase 3), an exposure is started.
> Exposure Command OFF Deasserts the Exposure Command signal. This operation extinĆ
guishes the Scan" button.
<RTN> Message Request Displays service test results, or generator phase which the generator is
(Return) currently operating in or has been operating in.
N Phase 0 to 1 This command changes the generator phase from phase 0 (service mode) to phase
1.
S Phase 1 to 0 This command changes the generator phase from phase 1 to phase 0. Before perĆ
forming a service test, the generator is operating in phase 1. Before sending a service test comĆ
mand to the generator, you should send this command S" to let the generator operate in phase
0. This command is accepted when the generator is operating in phase 1.ă
SE0 Service Test Exit Terminates the test which is currently running, or exit the current service test.
Note: Once entering a service test (SXX; see below), this command should be entered before
exiting the service mode (phase 0) by the N" command (see above), otherwise, a system error
may occur; if this happens, push the reset switch on the CPU Board of the generator.
Refer to Illustration 4-1. RESET SW
CPU BOARD
SXX Service Test Command XX is test numbers (11, 12, ...). This command runs a selected test.
Service test commands are accepted when the generator is operating in phase 0.
PX Generator Phase X: 0, 1, ... , 7 PX indicates Generator Phase, shown at the FROM: prompt.
Note: The Version 3.05 firmware adds 02" before PX" characters, as 02P2, 02P5, etc. This
02" means the number of characters PX, i.e., two.

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 person
touches 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 breakdown
in 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 loading
time 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 WITH
OXYGEN or NITROUS OXIDE
CLEANING
The ProSpeed S series system is NOT WATERPROOF. It is NOT designed to protect internal components against
the ingress of liquids.Clean external system surfaces(Gantry,table,consoles and accessories)with a soft cloth dipped
in hot water and wrung DAMP/DRY. (NOT dripping!) IF NECESSARY, use only mild (dish washing liquid) soap to re-
move dirt.
NOTICE
Avoid damage to equipment! Some ”spray and wipe”cleaners etch and permanently cloud
clear plastic surfaces!! Use only warm water and mild liquid soap to clean surfaces.
