ATTENTION
LES APPAREILS À RAYONS X SONT DANGEREUX À LA FOIS POUR LE PATIENT ET POUR LE MANIPULATEUR
SI LES MESURES DE PROTECTION NE SONT PAS STRICTEMENT APPLIQUEES
Bien que cet appareil soit construit selon les normes de sécurité les plus sévères, la source de rayonnement X représente un danger
lorsque le manipulateur est non qualifié ou non averti. Une exposition excessive au rayonnement X entraîne des dommages à l’organisme.
Par conséquent, toutes les précautions doivent être prises pour éviter que les personnes non autorisées ou non qualifiées utilisent cet
appareil créant ainsi un danger pour les autres et pour elles–mêmes.
Avant chaque manipulation, les personnes qualifiées et autorisées à se servir de cet appareil doivent se renseigner sur les mesures de
protection établies par la Commission Internationale de la Protection Radiologique, Annales 60 : Recommandations de la Commission
Internationale sur la Protection Radiologique et les normes nationales en vigueur.
WARNING
X–RAY EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH PATIENT AND OPERATOR
UNLESS MEASURES OF PROTECTION ARE STRICTLY OBSERVED
Though this equipment is built to the highest standards of electrical and mechanical safety, the useful x–ray beam becomes a source of
danger in the hands of the unauthorized or unqualified operator. Excessive exposure to x–radiation causes damage to human tissue.
Therefore, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent unauthorized or unqualified persons from operating this equipment or exposing
themselves or others to its radiation.
Before operation, persons qualified and authorized to operate this equipment should be familiar with the Recommendations of the Interna-
tional Commission on Radiological Protection, contained in Annals Number 60 of the ICRP, and with applicable national standards.
ATENCION
LOS APARATOS DE RAYOS X SON PELIGROSOS PARA EL PACIENTE Y EL MANIPULADOR
CUANDO LAS NORMAS DE PROTECCION NO ESTAN OBSERVADAS
Aunque este aparato está construido según las normas de seguridad más estrictas, la radiación X constituye un peligro al ser manipulado
por personas no autorizadas o incompetentes. Una exposición excesiva a la radiación X puede causar daños al organismo.
Por consiguiente, se deberán tomar todas las precauciones necesarias para evitar que las personas incompetentes o no autorizadas
utilicen este aparato, lo que sería un peligro para los demás y para sí mismas.
Antes de efectuar las manipulaciones, las personas habilitadas y competentes en el uso de este aparato, deberán informarse sobre las
normas de protección fijadas por la Comisión Internacional de la Protección Radiológica, Anales No 60: Recomendaciónes de la Comi-
sión Internacional sobre la Protección Radiológica y normas nacionales.
ACHTUNG
RÖNTGENAPPARATE SIND EINE GEFAHR FÜR PATIENTEN SOWIE BEDIENUNGSPERSONAL,
WENN DIE GELTENDEN SICHERHEITSVORKEHRUNGEN NICHT GENAU BEACHTET WERDEN
Dieser Apparat entspricht in seiner Bauweise strengsten elektrischen und mechanischen Sichereitsnormen, doch in den Händen unbe-
fugter oder unqualifizierter Personen wird er zu einer Gefahrenquelle. Übermäßige Röntgenbestrahlung ist für den menschlichen Orga-
nismus schädlich.
Deswegen sind hinreichende Vorsichtsmaßnahmen erforderlich, um zu verhindern, daßunbefugte oder unqualifizierte Personen solche
Geräte bedienen oder sich selbst und andere Personen deren Bestrahlung aussetzen können.
Vor Inbetriebnahme dieses Apparats sollte sich das qualifizierte und befugte Bedienungspersonal mit den geltenden Kriterien für den ge-
fahrlosen Strahleneinsatz durch sorgfältiges Studium des Hefts Nr. 60 der Internationalen Kommission für Strahlenschutz (ICRP) vertraut
machen: Empfehlungen der Internationalen Kommission für Strahlenschutz und anderer nationaler Normenbehörden.

REV 2 asm 2178813-100
3–15 How to test serial lines

HOW TO USE
3–15–1 Preliminary
Serial lines are used for communication with the UPS, Modem, DMR, and SP (positioner).
These lines cannot be tested in the application environment (using the ServiceTool), because access
to them is locked by the software servers (UPS daemon, PPP daemon, Seno server, SP server). The
tests must be performed at login level, with some additional preparation for UPS and modem lines.
Note: When communication is lost between workstation and UPS a shutdown occurs automatically
after two minutes (notification of lost communication occurs 10 seconds after the event).
Notice: Signal ground continuity (DB25: pin 7 ; DB9: pin 5, except for UPS side) is NOT tested by
these procedures. In case of doubt use an ohmmeter to check ground continuity.
The following diagram shows DB25 and DB9 pinouts:
13 1 5 1
25 14 9 6
View on plug side of DB25 female connector View on plug side of DB9 female connector
A serial cable DM25/DB9 female/female gender

changer and a two pin connector, as illustrated, are
supplied in the SenoVision calibration toolkit (PN:
2190128). The connector can be used as a jumper
by plugging it into adjacent pins of a female
connector and twisting or otherwise connecting the
two free pins. To jumper non-adjacent pins, use a
suitably bent wire paper clip.
3–15–2 SP and DMR Serial lines

This procedure is devoted to SP and DMR serial lines, which are the most critical (cables go outside
the cart). These procedures can be repeated with any portion of the cables still connected to the
workstation; the gender changer is used where necessary to change connection from male to female,
to allow loopback jumper insertion.
Note: For the SP connector pins 2a & 2b must be shorted together; use a metal paper clip.
1. First place a jumper between pin 2 & 3, at the extremity of the cable you want to check (the cable
must stay connected to the workstation). It may be necessary to insert the gender changer
(supplied as a tool), to change the connecting plug from male to female. The Y cable from the
Aurora serial board can also be tested this way.
2. Boot the workstation and log in as root; after root password entry you should see the prompt #.
34
REV 2 asm 2178813-100
3. To test the DMR serial cable:

– type: tip /dev/tty1 <Return>
HOW TO USE
– The system answers: Connected
– Type some alphabetical characters on the keyboard. If the cable is OK, they should be
echoed immediately on the screen.
– To exit the test and return to the prompt #, type: <Return> followed by ~. (tilde + dot).
The system should reply with [EOT] (end of transmission). Note that it may be necessary
to repeat the ~. sequence several times.
4. To test the SP serial cable
– type: tip /dev/tty0<Return>
to repeat the ~. sequence several times., type: tip /dev/tty0 <Return>
3–15–3 UPS Serial line

Note: The pinout for the UPS serial connector (DB9) is as follows:
1 = RX; 2 = TX; 9 = RX/TX Signal ground
7 = Used for UPS remote trigger from the Wallbox
8 = Used for UPS remote trigger from the Wallbox
For this test, the UPS daemon (started before login) must be stopped; proceed as follows:
1. Boot the workstation and log in as root; after root password entry you must see the root prompt ’#’
2. Stop the UPS daemon; type: ups stop<Return>
The message ”UPS daemon has been stopped” indicates that the daemon is no longer active.
3. Disconnect the UPS Y-cable from the UPS serial connector, insert the gender changer, then insert
a jumper between pin 8 and 3 of the gender changer DB 25 side, corresponding to pins 1 and 2
(not 2 and 3 here!) of the DB 9 side.
4. Perform the test; type: tip /dev/ttyb <Return>
5. When the test is finished, reconnect the UPS cable, then restart the UPS daemon;
type: ups start<Return>. A message is displayed to show that the daemon is now running.
35
REV 2 asm 2178813-100
3–15–4 Modem Serial line

For this test, the PPP daemon (started before login) must be stopped; proceed as follows:
HOW TO USE
1. Boot the workstation and log in as senovision; access the Service Tool Install menu.
2. If not already done, note the InSite IP address (CFG002).
3. De-install InSite (the IP address disappears).
4. Quit the Service Tool and return to login level. Login again as root ; after root password entry you
should see the root prompt #.
5. Disconnect the Modem cable; insert the gender changer and connect a jumper between pins 2 and
3 of the gender changer (DB 9 side).
6. Type: tip /dev/ttya <Return>
Note: The hardware handshake lines (RTS/CTS, pin 4 & 5 (DB25), pin 7& 8 (DB9)) are not checked
by this test.
7. When the test is finished, reconnect the Modem cable and reinstall InSite.
3–16 How to copy an image to the InSite buffer

The system provides a buffer for the transfer of images to InSite. Only one image at a time can be in
the buffer; the image is filtered from the patient name. To copy an image into the buffer, proceed as
follows:
1. If the patient exam which contains the image contains more than one image, you must first identify
the image number; to do so, review the exam, select the image and ask the viewer for full
annotation. Once the image number is determined return to the browser.
2. Locate the image name having the chosen number in the Image window of the browser. Click it
once to select (and highlight) it.
3. Press the keys <Control–Alt-P> simultaneously; after 10 seconds you should hear a beep
indicating the end of the copy to the buffer. The image (compressed) is now available for InSite
transfer.
Note: The buffer is the directory /export/home/insite/outgoing; the image (filtered and compressed)
is renamed imagepushed.Z. The file pushimage.log contains a trace of all images pushed
during a session.
Remember that the InSite buffer is cleared at each boot of the workstation!

3–18 How to set system into demonstration mode

HOW TO USE
Notice: This utility program is only for use at special events such as exhibitions; once the
demonstration mode is set, the only way to recover normal behaviour is to reload the
application (see D/R 043) !!
1. Insert the Application Software CD–ROM in the CD–ROM drive of the workstation.
2. If necessary, return to login level; then log in as root.
3. Type: # install.simulation <Return>
4. The necessary changes are then processed and the program exits, while ejecting CD–ROM
Type: # exit <Return> to return to login
5. Note: no need to re–install the software key. If not yet done you can also install some demo
images.
3–19 How to add demo images to the system.

Note: These demonstration images are dedicated to special events as exhibitions; they can also be
used for customer on–site demonstration. They can only be installed if there is sufficient
storage space available for about 20 images.
1. Insert the Application Software CD–ROM in the CD–ROM drive of the workstation.
2. Launch the application; open a Command window, and become super-user:
type: > su – root<Return> note that su is followed by space, dash, space
3. Type: # install.demoimages <Return>
4. The demo images are placed in the image database of the SenoVision and the program exits,
while ejecting CD–ROM
Type: # exit <Return> to exit root.
3–20 How to remove / add a package (advanced users)

A package is an assembly of files. There is tenth of packages installed during Solaris and Application
Software Installation. Each package is taken from the CD–ROM and copied to the hard disk following
a precise and pre–determined directory structure.
A few Unix commands allow the management and inspection of these packages.
If a package is found defective, it must be removed before it is reinstalled.
D Suppose you want to replace the package called ”GEMSpacket” (dummy name):
1. Return to login level and log as root (mandatory)
2. Type: # pkgrm GEMSpacket <Return>
3. Insert application CD–ROM in the cD Drive of the workstation

This Job Card provides troubleshooting information and suggestions for the SenoVision Stereotactic
Positioner IDS functions. The information has been arranged in categories as shown below.
1–1 IDS Diagnostics

IDS Diagnostics comprise a real-time error management system and a set of trouble-shooting
diagnostics. The diagnostics include an Image Quality diagnostic tree, a diagnostic process, a LED
fault indicator table (see below), and an error code table (see Chapter 5, Error Code List).
In addition to the usual diagnostics carried out by a trained service technician on site, an INSITE
repair mode may be used. INSITE diagnostics are automated tests controlled remotely, with local
TROUBLESHOOTING
manual intervention limited to tasks suited to a typical user taking instruction by telephone (making an
X-ray exposure, pushing control buttons, reading LEDs, etc.).

JOB CARD TSG 003 – OPENBOOT TESTS

1. OPENBOOT PROM LEVEL

The DS system automatic boot process normally loads and starts applications after completing the
power up and POST (Power On Self Test) procedures. If this procedure is disabled or interrupted, the
OpenBoot PROM level is entered. The system displays an ok prompt, and commands (for system
information utilities, diagnostics, etc.) can be entered manually from the keyboard.
This Job Card provides information and suggestions for troubleshooting operations at OpenBoot
PROM level. For more information on OpenBoot, refer to the Theory of Operation chapter.
Note: Screen displays. Where examples of screen prompts and entries are given in the following
description, prompts and text displayed by the system are shown in normal characters.
Text to be entered by the operator is shown in bold characters. Text defining options or
TROUBLESHOOTING
menu selections is shown in italics. Single-key entries are shown thus: <Return>.
1–1 Access to OpenBoot level

1. From Power Off:
– Power up the system as usual by pressing the button on the wallbox to trigger the UPS.
– Immediately after the greeting banner appears, enter <Stop>–A (press the Stop and A
keys simultaneously) to halt the usual automatic boot process.
– For subsequent power cycling, turn power on/off using the DS power switch.
Notice: Never press <Stop>–A after the boot process has started. files may be corrupted!
2. From Application: Refer to How to..... in Chapter 8
3. From the LOGIN prompt: Refer to How to..... in Chapter 8
Note: If you expect to cycle power several times in OpenBoot level, it may be convenient to set
Autoboot to False (see below).
1–2 Autoboot options

1. To make the DS boot to OpenBoot level at each restart, set Autoboot to False, as follows:
– Boot the system. At the first ok prompt, enter setenv; then press <Return> to accept the
default option of False:
ok setenv autoboot? false <Return>
When Autoboot is false, the DS boot process will halt at the ok prompt waiting for a command.
2. To return to the normal boot process, set Autoboot to True, Two methods are possible:
Either: At the ok prompt, enter setenv; then press <Return> to accept the default option of True:
ok setenv autoboot? true <Return>
Or: At the ok prompt, enter set–default; then press <Return> to accept the default option:
ok set–default autoboot? <Return>

JOB CARD TSG 003 – OPENBOOT TESTS 2 of 22
2. OPENBOOT OPERATIONS
OpenBoot operation can be used for access to system information and diagnostics. The main options
are described below.
2–1 Basic System Information

At the ok prompt, enter banner<Return>.
Information returned is: line 1: Sun workstation type.
line 2: Memory size; serial number.
line 3: Ethernet address and Host ID (used for software keys).
2–2 Extended POST Diagnostics

1. To perform extended POST diagnostics:
TROUBLESHOOTING
Either At the ok prompt, enter setenv; then press <Return> to accept the default option:
ok setenv diag–switch? true <Return>
Or Press <Stop>–D for about 10 seconds immediately after power on; the
Diag-switch parameter is automatically set to True.
With the Diag-level parameter set to its default setting of max, extended diagnostics run for
approximately 60 seconds. the monitor screen remains blank during this period.
2. At the end of the diagnostics, a list of any errors found is displayed before returning to the ok
prompt. The results displayed for a typical extended POST diagnostic (on an Ultra 1 workstation;
Diag–level parameter set to max) are shown in Illustrations 1 through 4. Note that certain serious
errors will prevent normal display; the monitor will remain blank.
Note: Diagnostic progress can be observed on a local terminal connected to the ttya serial port, or
through the modem connection (useful for OLC assistance). Refer to sections 3 and 4 for
more information.
3. Diagnostic progress and results are also indicated on the keyboard LEDs. This is particularly useful
if the monitor remains blank. The Caps Lock LED lights first to indicate the start of the POST
sequence; the remaining LEDs light to indicate the start of tests as shown below. In the event of a
test failing, the corresponding LED pattern will remain for a longer time than normal.

REV 2 asm 2178813-100
2–3 Reset and Boot

Reset and boot commands reset the entire system, and are equivalent to performing a power on/off
cycle.
To restart the system:
Either: type reset<Return> at the ok prompt.
Or: type boot<Return> at the ok prompt.
If the system is set to run the POST and initialization procedures on power up, they will begin when
you execute the reset command. A diagnostic will be run, even if the Diag-switch parameter is set to
False. The system will then enter the automatic boot process or remain at the OpenBoot level
(Autoboot True or False), just as it would after a power cycle.
The screen displays of a typical normal boot operation are shown in Illustration 2 for Sun Ultra 1 and
Illustration 5 for Sun Ultra 5 (with comments in italics),
TROUBLESHOOTING
2–4 Boot –r
Certain changes to system parameters, for example addition or removal of SCSI devices, are not
recognized when a normal reset or boot command is executed. For theses parameters to be
recognized, the system must be restarted using the special “–r” boot option at OpenBoot PROM level.
The procedure requires the Root password. Proceed as follows:
1. Enter the OenBoot environment, to display the OK prompt. This can be done as described above,
or, to enter the OpenBoot environment from the application, (e.g., after making changes to the
installation screen), proceed as follows:
a. From the Browser, select Utilities/Services, enter your name and password, and select Utilities.
b. From the drop-down menu, select Command Tool to open a command window in which Unix
commands can be entered.
c. At the command prompt, type su root<Return>. Enter the Root password when requested.
d. At the root command prompt, type halt<Return>. to halt the system
2. When the OK prompt is displayed, type boot –r<Return>.
3. The system restarts; log in as usual.
The screen displays of a typical boot –r operation are shown in Illustration 3 for Sun Ultra 1 and
Illustration 6 for Sun Ultra 5, (with comments in italics).

REV 2 asm 2178813-100
2–5 Diskette drive tests

These tests check whether the diskette drive is functioning correctly
Before running a test, load a formatted high-density (HD) diskette into the drive.
1. To test the diskette drive, type test floppy<Return> at the ok prompt.
The system reminds you that a diskette should be loaded, runs the test, and displays the result.
2. To eject a diskette from the drive, type eject–floppy<Return> at the ok prompt..
If a diskette fails to eject, insert a straightened paper clip into the small hole beside the diskette
slot.
2–6 Memory tests

TROUBLESHOOTING
The extended POST diagnostics (see above) include a complete memory test. A test memory
command is available, but note that it normally tests only the first megabyte of memory. To use it to
test more memory, the default value of the parameter selftest–#megs must be changed.
2–7 SCSI Test for Sun Ultra 1 / IDE Test for Sun Ultra 5
Note: This test must be run after a reset operation (see above). If it is run after a <Stop>–A
operation, the DS may hang. It is recommended that, before running the test, Autoboot is set
to False, and the Reset command executed from the ok prompt.
Remember to reset the Autoboot parameter to True after the test!
D To check the built-in SCSI bus, type probe–scsi<Return> at the ok prompt.
Information on all devices (Targets) connected to the built-in SCSI bus is displayed.
With a DS Sun Ultra 1, note that, in addition to the ”internal targets (local disks), the check for the
built-in SCSI bus will also show the CD-R drive and/or the DASM if they are installed.
With a DS Sun Ultra 5, note that, the check for the built-in SCSI bus will only show the CD-R drive
and/or the DASM if they are installed.
The IDS is not seen by this check. To check SCSI communication with the IDS, run the Application,
and select Configuration from the Service Tool menu. The Digital System/SCSI devices window should
report that the IDS is connected.
The output of a typical probe-scsi test is shown in the diagram opposite.

2–8 Ethernet Controller Tests

Two Ethernet test options are available, for the on-board Ethernet controller and for the network
connection.
1. To check the on-board Ethernet controller, type test net<Return> at the ok prompt.
The results of internal and external loopback tests are displayed.
Note that the external loopback test will fail if the system is not connected to an Ethernet network.
2. To check the network connection, type watch–net<Return> at the ok prompt.
The results of internal and external loopback tests, as above, are displayed; the system then
continues to monitor the network traffic. A point ”.” is displayed each time an error-free packet is
received, and an x is displayed each time a packet is received with an error detectable by the
network hardware interface. Press any key to stop the test.
TROUBLESHOOTING
2–9 NVRAM settings

Many important system parameters are held in NVRAM (Non Volatile RAM). Some of these
parameters may be altered by Openboot operations, and it is therefore important to be able to return
to the correct settings. NVRAM parameters may be listed for reference.
Notice: The NVRAM settings required by SenoVision systems are not exactly the same as the system
default values; the Output-device parameter is different. Resetting the NVRAM values is
therefor a two-step process, as described below; first set the system default values, then
modify the Output-device parameter.
To set NVRAM parameters, proceed as follows:
1. Set the NVRAM system defaults:
Either At the ok prompt, enter set–defaults<Return>.
Or Press <Stop>–N for about 10 seconds immediately after power on.
2. At the ok prompt, enter setenv output–device screen:r1280x1024x76<Return>.
To list NVRAM parameters, proceed as follows:
At the ok prompt, enter printenv<Return>.

REV 2 asm 2178813-100
2–10 Boot block installation

Many important bootup parameters are held on disk in an area known as the Boot block. If this is
corrupted, it may be reloaded from CD-ROM using the procedure described below.
1. Insert the Solaris 2.5 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2. At the OpenBoot ok prompt, enter boot cdrom<Return>.
3. The system starts to boot; after about 2 minutes OpenWin is started, and the first install menu is
displayed. Ignore the menu.
4. Click the right mouse button to open the background menu. Select Command tool (you are root).
5. Launch the installboot program: in the Command tool window, at the # prompt, enter the following
string followed by <Return>:
installboot_/usr/platform/’uname_–i’/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk_/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
TROUBLESHOOTING
Note the spaces in three places. The entry ’uname*–i’ automatically determines the type of
workstation (Ultra 1 or 2, Enterprise, etc.). The entry c0t0d0s0 is the boot disk name.
6. Reboot the system (at the # prompt enter: boot<Return>).
2–11 Disk label installation

An incorrect disk label may cause an error message “bad magic number in disk label”. It may be
reloaded from CD-ROM using the procedure described below.
1. Insert the Solaris 2.5 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2. At the OpenBoot ok prompt, enter boot cdrom<Return>.
3. The system starts to boot; after about 2 minutes OPenWin is started, and the first install menu is
displayed. Ignore the menu.
4. Click the right mouse button to open the background menu. Select Command tool (you are root).
5. In the Command tool window, at the # prompt, enter format<Return>
6. At the >format prompt, enter label<Return>.

3. DIAGNOSIS WITH LAPTOP

This procedure allows DS diagnostics to be monitored on a service laptop connected locally. It is
recommended only for experienced users.
1. Prepare the laptop;
– If you are using Windows 3.x, launch the Windows Terminal program, then go to step 2.
– If you are using Windows 95, go to step 3
Note that Windows 95 users may use Terminal if they wish.
2. If working in Terminal, set the Terminal program parameters and save the configuration:
Select Params/Terminal params; set Buffer lines = 300.
Select Params/Communication; set Speed = 9600
Select port COM1 or COM2, as available on the laptop.
Select File/Save as Save the file with a suitable name, e.g., Sun9600.trm.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Go to step 4.
3. If working in Windows 95, set Hyperterminal parameters
a. Access the Hyperterminal program: select Start/Programs/Accessories/HyperTerminal
b. n the small window displayed, double-click on the Hyperterminal.exe icon
c. The program starts, with a new configuration setup; in the dialog box Connection description,
enter: Senovision <Enter>
d. In next dialog box, Phone number, select: Connect using and choose Direct to Com 1
(assuming Com 1 port is free on your laptop). Click OK.
e. In next dialog box Com 1 properties, select the following parameters:
Bits per second: 9600 Data bits: 8 (default)
Parity: none (default) Stop bit: 1 (default)
Flow control: none
f. f. Save this configuration: select File/Save as.../Senovision.ht/Save.
This configuration is now available for future use; retrieve it by double-clicking on the
Senovision.ht icon.
g. Got to step 4
4. Use a null-modem cable (part no. 2102311) to connect the chosen laptop serial port to the DS
serial port ttya (normally used for the Insite modem).
5. If possible, set the DS Autoboot parameter to False (see above).
6. Power down the DS; disconnect the DS keyboard.
7. Power up the DS.
Because the keyboard is disconnected, all messages are redirected to the ttya port and thus to the
laptop Terminal program.

2. ROOM CONTROL DIAGNOSIS

Room Control Software is started by selecting Diagnostics/Room Control from the Service Tool Main
menu. It displays a continuously updated list of equipment and software status, displayed in five
groups.
Information for each group is given in one of the following sections. Each software or hardware item
monitored by Room Control is listed, followed by the possible displayed status values, with their
meaning and possible required actions.
2–1 Server Present

This sub–panel is refreshed every 4 seconds; it indicates the global presence and status of each of
the software servers:

3. DASM CONNECTION CHECKS

Communication from the Advantage Workstation to the filming interface can be checked by opening a
Unix command window.
Two different kinds of checks can be done.
D Communication between AW3.0 and DASM via SCSI bus.
D Communication between DASM and laser camera via RS232 or RS422 serial lines.
The directory /export/home/sdc/bin contains executables for making these checks: Showdasm, clrsp,
rqs, rsp. Their use is described below:
1. Showdasm: a program which gives several parameters of the DASM. (SCSI ID, memory size,
serial line baud rate EPROM check sum etc.) This command may take about 30 seconds to
complete. Open a Command Window and type :
TROUBLESHOOTING
– su – root <Return>
enter password: operator <Return>
– cd /export/home/sdc/bin <Return>
– ./showdasm <Return>
An example is shown below. Note that no request is sent to the camera.

CHAPTER 5 – ERROR MESSAGE LISTS
1. INTRODUCTION
Errors are signalled in various ways according to their impact on operation. All errors detected by the
system are recorded in an error log file, using a code unique to each type of error. Some alert the
operator to a problem by displaying a message on the screen or on the Senographe console. Certain
catastrophic errors may cause the system to shut down and reboot.
Section 2 of this chapter describes Error Log Files.
The following error message lists are given in this chapter. Each list is given in order of the error codes
which are written to error log files. As far as possible, an indication is given of the results of the error
on system operation, with an indication of the type of warning message which is displayed

2. ERROR LOG FILES

To view error log files, select Utilities/Service from the Browser. Enter your name and password to
allow access to the full Service menu, then select LogFiles to view the various logs. Select the name
of the required file in the left-hand panel of the window,then select the desired option:
View Displays file contents in the right-hand window.
To Buffer Copies the file to the Insite buffer on disk for access by an OLC.
Export Copies the file to diskette.
Purge file Erases the file.
Clear Buffer Clears the Insite EAW buffer.
Close Return to Main Menu.
The general format of error logs is shown below:
Typical Error log entry:
Date : 09/25/97 16:14:41 10
Process : Room Control
Location : RoomControGate.c(61)
Id : 6003
Impact : Not Recoverable
Message : The image has a bad dicom format
Class : Config File error
Explanation of fields:
Date: Time and date when error ocurred
Process: Name of the process that will log the error
Location: File and line number of code where error was detected
Id: Unique error ID (see below)
Impact: Category of error impact (see below)
Message: Description of error, error data, may indicate affected FRU
Error log files are regularly purged (twice a day, at 6 a.m and 11 p.m, and at each boot), so that they
do not occupy a space greater than 20 Mbytes. Older logs are deleted until the total size falls below
20 Mbytes.

2–2 Error Impact

SenoVision software server errors are grouped in four impact categories, described below: Warning,
Server-Recoverable, Not-Recoverable, and Restart-Recoverable.
SenoVision hardware errors are included in the Not-Recoverable group since they require action by
the user or a field service representative. Where possible, they are logged using a specific call to
reference the affected FRU.
Warning A software lower layer error. There are two main types:
a. A processing decision cannot be taken, so is deferred to a higher level
(used to log details known only at the low level).
b. An immediate fix can be made, so no functional impact is involved (used to
log details for debugging).
Example: Configuration file access error (default parameters can be noted),
or network message retry.
Server-Recoverable An error with temporary impact on a server functionality. Can be recovered by
high level action , but not immediately. system action required temporarily.
Example: IDS error which can be recovered by software reset from the
Camera server. During the reset, camera acquisition is not available; Room
Control inhibits X-ray operation, and a message is displayed on the DMR
console.
Not-Recoverable An error with permanent impact on a server functionality, at least until an
external action is performed (e.g., hardware problem fix or software restart by
user. Cannot be recovered by server cold restart; system action required to
ensure safety.
Example: DMR powered off, so DMR is disconnected, and Seno server not
functional. Room Control inhibits new exam starts, and displays message on
the DS console.
Restart-Recoverable An error with permanent impact on a server functionality, requiring a server
cold restart; system action required to restart all servers for synchronization.
Example: All software state errors, assertion errors, severe communication
errors such as notification failures.

CHAPTER 7 – THEORY OF OPERATION
THEORY
1. INTRODUCTION
The SenoVision is an option available for use with Senographe systems.
It uses a digital cassette concept to provide a large field of view (6 cm x 6 cm or 8 cm x 8 cm) and high
image quality.
Applications include:
D Digital Spot Application for diagnosis and accurate location of suspect areas.
D Stereotactic Application. An optional steroeotactic positioner, incorporating an automatic needle
positioning biopsy sytem, operates with the digital cassette for accurate and fast Stereotaxy.

2. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
2–1 System Components
THEORY
AUCUN LIEN gives an overview of system connections.
Senovision components are located in four main areas:
2–1–1 SenoVision Cart

The Cart is a mobile trolley, linked to the Wallbox by flexible
cables which allow movement within the examination room. It
contains the Digital System and the Image Detection
Subsystem Electronics, as well as power supplies (including
an uninterruptible power supply) and a modem for remote
diagnostic use. The Cart provides storage space for the
Stereotactic Positioner and for optional printer and archive
devices, as well as a lasercam interface (DASM). Built-in
fold-down side tables provide a light box for convenient film
study, and a working surface suitable for computer mouse
operation.
The Digital System (DS) is a computer system which controls
and acquires information from other parts of the system, and
provides the operator interface. It includes a Display Monitor
with keyboard and mouse, placed on top of the Cart.
The Image Detection Subsystem (IDS) is a dedicated computer
system which acquires and processes radiological images from
the Digital Cassette, and transmits them to the DS.
2–1–2 Wallbox
The Wallbox is connected by cables to the DMR system and to
the Cart. External services required by the DMR and Senovision
systems, such as power, telephone, lasercam, and Ethernet
connections, are connected through the Wallbox. It contains a
Chiller which provides cooling water to the Digital Cassette.
183
REV 2 asm 2178813-100
2–1–3 Digital cassette (DC)

The DC provides direct acquisition of digital radiological images.
It is stored on the DMR system. When required for use, it is
THEORY
fitted in the place of a standard film cassette to the 18 x 24 DMR

bucky, the 18 x 24 cassette holder, or the Stereotactic
Positioner.
Functionally, the DCforms part of the Image Detection
Subsystem, to which it is connected through the Wall Box. Its
working temperature is controlled by an internal thermocooler;
excess heat is removed by cooling water passed through
flexible tubes from the Chiller in the Wallbox.
2–1–4 Stereotactic Positioner (SP) – optional

The SP is stored either in the Cart or on a wall fitting, and is
fitted to the DMR system when required for use. By enabling
radiological examination of a breast at different angles
(+15, 0, –15), the SP allows accurate location of points for
examination, in three dimensions. After location, biopsy samples
can be taken from the chosen points, using automatically
controlled needle positioning.
The SP includes a small LCD panel, the SP display, for display
of operational and diagnostic parameters. The SP display is
stored in the top of the SP, and has a magnetic back for
convenient positioning when required for use.

4. DIGITAL SYSTEM (DS)
4–1 Sun OpenBoot

THEORY
4–1–1 Overview
OpenBoot firmware is the standard firmware for Sun systems. openBoot firmware is stored in the boot
PROM of the system, and is executed immediately when the system is powered on. The primary task
of the OpenBoot firmware is to start up (boot) the operating syst
The DS system automatic boot process normally loads and starts applications after completing the
power up and POST (Power On Self Test) procedures. If this procedure is disabled or interrupted, the
OpenBoot PROM level is entered. The system displays an ok prompt, and commands (for system
information utilities, diagnostics, etc.) can be entered manually from the keyboard. Suggestions for
troubleshooting using OpenBoot are given in TSG 003.
4–1–2 Features
The current OpenBoot architecture provides a considerable increase in functionality over the boot
PROMs in earlier Sun systems. Although first implemented on SPARC systems, the design is
processor-independent. Some notable features include:
– Plug-in device drivers. A plug-in device driver is usually loaded from a plug-in device such
as an SBus card. The Plug-in device driver can be used to boot the OS (Operating
System) from that device, or to display text on the device before the OS has activated its
own drivers. This allows input/output devices supported by a particular system to evolve
without changing the system PROM.
– FCode interpreter. Plug-in device drivers are written in a machine-independent interpreted
language called FCode. Each OpenBoot system PROM contains an FCode interpreter.
Thus, the same device and driver can be used on machines with different CPU instruction
sets.
– Device tree. The device tree is an OpenBoot data structure describing the devices
(permanently installed and plug-in) attached to a system. both the user and the OS are
able to determine the system hardware configuration by inspecting the device tree.
– Programmable user interface. The OpenBoot user interface is based on the interactive
programming language Forth. Sequences of user commands can be used to form
complete programs. This provides a powerful tool for debugging hardware and software.
188
REV 2 asm 2178813-100
4–1–3 The User Interface

The OPenBoot environment can be entered in the following ways:
THEORY
– By halting the operating system.
– By using the <Stop>–A key combination from the keyboard.
Note; This abruptly breaks operation of the OS, and should be used with caution; it can
damage the Unix operating system and/or the application software.
– By cycling the system power. If automatic booting is not enabled, the system will enter the
OpenBoot environment immediately. If the system is configured to boot an OS
automatically, the OpenBoot environment can be entered by pressing <Stop>–A after the
display console banner appears, but before the system starts to boot the OS.
– When the system hardware detects an error from which it cannot recover (Watchdog
Reset).
OpenBoot firmware provide three external interfaces: an interface for the OS or other standalone
programs, an interface for expansion bus plug-in boards (e.g., SBus), and a command line interface
for the user at the system console.
The command line interface operates as a Forth monitor. The Forth Monitor prompt is ok. When the
Forth Monitor is entered the following is displayed:
Type help for more information
ok
4–1–4 The Device Tree

Devices are attached to a SPARC-based system on a set of interconnected buses. The OpenBoot
firmware represents the interconnected buses and their attached devices as a tree of nodes; the
device tree. A node representing the whole machine forms the tree’s root node.
Nodes form a hierarchy, with parent and children nodes. Nodes with children usually represent buses
and their associated controllers, if any. Each such node defines a physical address space that
distinguishes devices connected to the node from one another. Each child of the node is assigned a
physical address within the parent’s address space.
The physical address generally represents a physical characteristic unique to the device (such as the
bus address, or the slot number in which the device is installed).This prevents device addresses from
changing when another device is installed in the system.
189
REV 2 asm 2178813-100
4–1–5 Device Path Names, Addresses, and Arguments

The firmware deals directly with hardware devices in the system. Each device has a unique name
representing the type of device and where the device is located within the system address structure.
THEORY
A full device path name is a series of node names separated by slashes (/), as in the following
example;
/sbus@1,f8000000/esp@0,40000/sd@3,0:a
The root of the tree is the machine node, which is not named explicitly, but i indicated by the leading
slash. Each node name has the form: name@address:arguments.
In the above example:
– 1,f8000000 represents an address on the main system bus, because the SBus interface
is directly attached to the main system bus.
– 0,40000 is an SBus slot number and an offset within that slot; the esp device is in SBus
slot 0 at offset 40000 (in this example the device is a SCSI host adaptor, though the name
does not indicate this directly).
– 3,0 is a SCSI target and logical unit number, because the sd (SCSI disk) device is
attached to a SCSI bus at target 3, logical unit 0.
4–1–6 Aliases
There are two kinds of device name:
– Full device path names such as the one described above.
– Device aliases, such as disk.
A device alias, or simply an alias, is a way of representing a device path name. The alias represents
an entire device path name, not a component of it. In our example, disk may represent the entire
device path name /sbus@1,f8000000/esp@0,40000/sd@3,0:a.
Systems normally have predefined device aliases for most commonly used devices, so it is rarely
necessary to type a full device path name.
Some typical device aliases are shown below:
Alias Solaris 1.x Name Solaris 2.x Name

disk and disk0 sd0 c0t3d0s0
disk1 sd1 c0t1d0s0

REV 2 asm 2178813-100
4–1–7 Displaying the Device Tree

You can browse the device tree to examine individual device tree nodes.
THEORY
The command show–devs lists all devices in the OPenBoot device tree, as in the following example:
ok show–devs
/fd@1,f7200000
/virtual–memory@0,0
/memory@0,0
/sbus@1,f8000000
/auxiliary–io@1,f7400003
/interrupt–enable@1,f5000000
/memory–error@1,f4000000
/counter–timer@1,f3000000
/eeprm@1,f2000000
/audio@1,f7201000
/zs@1,f0000000
/zs@1,f1000000
/openprom
/aliases
/options
/packages
/sbus@1,f8000000/cgsix@3,0
/sbus@1,f8000000/le@0,c00000
/sbus@1,f8000000/esp@0,800000
ok
4–1–8 Getting Help

Whenever the ok prompt is displayed, help can be obtained by entering a help command:
Command Description
help List main help categories
help category Show help for all commands in the specified category
help command Show help for the specified command (if available)
The command help, without any modifier, displays instructions for the use of the help system, and
lists the available help categories. Because of the large number of commands, help is available only
for frequently used commands.
191
REV 2 asm 2178813-100
4–1–9 Caution!
Notice: Certain OpenBoot commands must be used with caution!
THEORY
For example, if you boot the operating system, exit using either <Stop>–A or a halt command, then
execute the probe-scsi command, you may find that probe-scsi fails and you may not be able to
resume the operating system.
T re-execute an OpenBoot command which fails because the OS has halted, reset the system and
invoke the command again, as shown:
ok reset
ok probe–scsi
ok
4–1–10 Booting the System

The most important function of the OpenBoot firmware is to boot the system. Booting is the process of
loading and executing a standalone program such as the operating system. The system is usually
configured to boot automatically, without operator intervention, when it is powered on. If necessary,
the boot process can be explicitly initiated from the OpenBoot command interpreter. Automatic booting
uses the default boot device specified as one of the parameters held in NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM);
user-initiated booting may use the default boot device or one specified by the user.
To boot the system from the default boot device, type boot at the Forth Monitor ok prompt:
ok boot
To boot the system from the internal disk, type boot disk at the Forth Monitor ok prompt:
ok boot disk
192
REV 2 asm 2178813-100
4–1–11 Diagnostics
Several diagnostic routines are available from the Forth Monitor. These onboard tests can check
devices such as the network controller, the floppy disk system, memory, installed SBus cards and
THEORY
SCSI devices, and the system clock. user-installed devices can be tested if their firmware include a
self-test feature.
Some diagnostic test commands are listed below; more information on diagnosis using OpenBoot is
given in TSG 003.
Command Description
probe-scsi Identifies devices attached to the built-in SCSI bus.
probe-scsi–al Performs probe–scsi for all SCSI buses installed in
l the system.
test Executes the specified device’s self-test method. For
device-specif example:
ier test floppy Test the floppy drive if installed
test /memory Test the number of MB specified
in the NVRAM selftest–#megs parameter, or test all
memory if diag-switch is True.
test net Test the network connection
test–all Test all devices.
watch–clock Test the clock function.
watch–net Monitor the network connection.
probe–ide Identifies devices attached to the built–in IDE BUS.
193
REV 2 asm 2178813-100
4–1–12 Configuration Parameters

System configuration parameters determine the start-up machine configuration and related
communication characteristics; they are stored in the system NVRAM.
THEORY
Some NVRAM configuration parameters are listed below.

tpe-link-test true Enable 10baseT link test for built-in t. p. ethernet
ttya-mode 9600,8,n,1,– ttya setting (baud rate, #bits, parity, #stop, handshake)
4–1–13 Changing Configuration

Notice: Make changes to NVRAM settings only with great care! Changing security related parameters
can lock the workstation completely and unrecoverably.
System configuration parameter default values can be monitored and modified using the commands
listed below. Changes made remain in effect even after a power on–off cycle.
Command Description
printenv Displays all current parameters and default values. Numbers
are normally shown as decimal values.
printenv parameter Displays current value of the specified parameter.
setenv parameter value Sets the specified parameter to the specified value. Changes
are permanent, but normally take effect only after a boot or
reset.
set-default parameter Resets the specified parameter to the factory default value.
set-defaults Resets all parameters to the factory default values.
Notice: The SenoVision system uses NVRAM factory default values, except for the display setting.
Refer to TSG 003 for the procedure to use in resetting SenoVision NVRAM values.
194
REV 2 asm 2178813-100
5. IMAGE DETECTION SYSTEM
5–1 Components
THEORY
The Image Detection System (IDS) provides direct capture of radiological information in digital form. It
has three main components:
D The Digital Cassette (DC) (Camera Head). This is placed in the Bucky as a direct replacement for
the normal film cassette.
X-ray radiation entering the DC strikes an X-ray sensitive layer (the scintillator), which converts it
into visible light. This light passes through a fibre optic coupler which collimates it onto a charge
coupled device (CCD) array (4096 x 4096 cells; 60 mm x 60 mm). Each cell of the array collects a
charge which is proportional to the intensity of the radiation at the cell position, and to the
integration time of the exposure. At the end of the exposure, the charge values are binned
(combined in groups of 2 x 2 cells) and read out from the array in sequence. The binned values
are then converted to 12-bit digital form for transmission to the IDSE over a high speed serial link.
DC commands and status requests are received from the IDSE over an RS232 link.
The effective resolution of the DC is 2048 x 2048 pixels.
D The IDS Electronics (IDSE) unit. This acts as a system controller and provides an interface
between the DC and the Digital System (DS). It controls the operation of the DC according to
commands received from the DS, and transmits the received digital data to the DS over a SCSI-2
FAST interface (to 10MB/s).
The DS transmits configuration commands, status requests, and mode change commands to the
IDSE, which makes the requested configuration changes, and responds with the IDS
identification block and the current status and mode information.
D The Chiller. To avoid unacceptable variations in dark current (the signal level observed in the CCD
array in the absence of radiation, which is affected by temperature), the CCD is kept at a nominal
12° C by a thermo-cooler (a Peltier effect semi-conductor device). The chiller pumps cooling water
through the DC, and removes heat from the hot side of the thermo-cooler. There is no electrical
connection between the chiller and the other components of the system.
See Illustration 1 for a block diagram of the IDS system.
5–2 DC Operating modes

The DC is operated in four modes, summarized below.
Note that the CCD array is considered as an array of 4097 horizontal lines of cells, each containing
4096 cells:
– Integration. Charge is allowed to accumulate on each of the CCD cells during a preset
integration period.
– Vertical shift. The charges accumulated in each horizontal line of cells are shifted down
into the next line.
– Horizontal readout. The charges in the bottom line of the array are shifted out in turn to be
digitized and stored.
– Flushing mode. Accumulated charges are shifted vertically through the array. No signal is
integrated and no charge is accumulated; the effect is to clear the array.

197
REV 2 asm 2178813-100
5–3–1 Not Initialized mode

The IDS remains in this mode from power-on until an initialization command is received from the DS,
running background tasks and responding to status requests from the DS.
THEORY
5–3–2 Initialized – Standby mode

Entered when an initialization command is received from the DS or (from the Ready mode) after Prepa
time-out. The IDS configures the DC according to the configuration received from the DS, and places
the DC in Standby mode (lowest power consumption,reduces the DC temperature).
5–3–3 Initialized – Ready mode

Entered when a Prepa Acquisition command is received from the DS. The IDS sends the Transition To
CCD Flushing Mode command to the DC.
5–3–4 Integration mode

In this mode, the DC integrates the received X-ray radiation. Entered when a Start Exposure
command is received from the DS (in which case the IDS sends the Start Exposure command to the
DC).
5–3–5 Readout mode

Entered when the DC starts transmission of an image; the image is stored in IDS local memory. The
IDS may process the data while it is being written to memory.
5–3–6 Transfer mode

Entered when a Read Image command is received from the DS. The IDS then transmits the image to
the DS over the SCSI interface and configures the DC to go to Ready mode at the end of the transfer.
If the Read Image command is received while the DC is transmitting the image (Readout mode), the
two transfers may be concurrent.
5–3–7 Extended mode

Entered when a Start Diagnostics (Extensive Bit) command is received from the DS. The IDS remains
in the Extended mode, running the Extensive Bit test, until it receives a Stop Diagnostics command, or
a command to transition to Initialized – Ready mode.
5–3–8 Diagnostic mode

Entered when a Start Diagnostics (Fault Isolation Bit) command is received from the DS. The IDS
remains in the Diagnostic mode, running the Fault Isolation Bit test, until it receives a Stop Diagnostics
command, or a command to transition to Initialized – Ready mode.
5–3–9 Reset mode

Entered when a Reset command is received from the DS. The IDS performs a full reset of the DC,
then carries out the Power Up sequence and enters the Not Initialized mode. No status or
configuration information is retained.
198
REV 2 asm 2178813-100
5–4 Corrections and Calibrations

A number of corrections are required to ensure that the X-ray image obtained from the IDS system is
THEORY
of the highest possible quality. These corrections compensate for a number of factors, including:
– X-ray shading.
– Response variations between the cells of the CCD array.
– Non-functioning pixels (dead pixels). These are defined as pixels with responses more
than 5% outside their local average after offset and flatfield correction.
– Variations in the dark current (signal generated by thermal noise in the absence of X-ray
illumination).
– Scintillator variation.
– Variations in fibre-optic transmission.
– Presence of contamination within the detector assembly.
– Variations in the optical coupling between the scintillator and the fibre-optic faceplate, and
between the fibre-optic faceplate and the CCD array.
These factors, taken together, define the fixed pattern noise of the system. They are corrected for by
digital processing, using parameters calculated during calibration procedures.
5–4–1 Calibration
Three calibration procedures are performed in the factory on each system (Offset, Spot Mo/Mo, Flat
field, Dead Pixel). Correction files for use by the post-acquisition digital correction routines are
calculated, and are delivered with the system.
These calibrations do not need to be repeated in the field unless major changes are made (for
example, exchange of the Digital Cassette).
D Offset calibration. Frames of dark images (no X-rays) are collected at different CCD temperatures,
and are used to create two arrays (B and C) of offset correction coeficients.
D Flat field calibration. X-ray images are collected at two different doses, and are used to create an
array of gain correction coeficients.
D Dead pixel calibration. X-ray images are collected, and are used to create a map of dead pixels
for use by the dead pixel correction routine. Less than 50 dead pixels are allowed on the CCD
(from a total of 4 million).
5–4–2 Corrections
D Dead pixels are not used in the corrected image, but are replaced by the local average, thus
avoiding anomalous points in the display.
D Offset and flat field correction requires a calculation of the following general form at each point
(i,j):
Corrected Image (i,j) = (Aquired Image (i,j) – Egain x (It x (B x DT + C)) – Readout) x Gain(i,j)
Acquired Image (i,j) is the raw acquired image. Egain is the Electronic Gain setting.
It is the exposure integration time. B is an array of slope coefficients for the DC.
DT is the difference from calibration temperature. C is an array of offset coefficients for the DC.
Readout is term calculated from the Bias portion of the Video frame.
Gain(i,j) is an array of flat field coefficients for pixel gain correction.

6. POWER SUPPLIES
All power for the SenoVision system is supplied from the hospital main supply through a dedicated
THEORY
circuit breaker and the SenoVision Wallbox.
Powr on/off for the UPS is remote controlled from the Wallbox pusbutton, connected through the
Y-cable W07. When the pushbutton is pressed, it connects pins 7 and 8 of the UPS interface
connector.
Critical subsystems are supplied through a Smart UPS system rated at 700 VA The UPS protects the
DS and main SenoVision components from high or low incoming voltages, and allows a controlled
shutdown in the event of complete loss of power. All UPS operating parameters can be monitored
and/or controlled by PowerChute Plus software on the DS.
The following items are powered from the UPS:
– DS
– DS Monitor
– IDS-E and the Digital Cassette
– Stereotactic Positioner
– Archiving system (option)
Total power supplied in normal circumstances is 560 VA (80% of the UPS capacity). When power is
lost with the UPS battery at 100% charge, the time to reach the minimum capacity is about eight
minutes.
Note that the printer should not be connected to the UPS.
6–1 Power outages

When a power outage occurs, the PowerChute software controls the Smart-UPS and the DS to trigger
a controlled shutdown, as illustrated:
Event: Power out
