2-1. General
The procedures for installing a 969 HQT are the
same as for the standard 969 except as
indicated in the following paragraphs. The
differences described are the result of the
different IMS systems, and involve the following
three areas:
S Cable connections.
S Switch and jumper settings on the TDB and
VIB.
S System configuration (parameter settings)
for the IMS.
2-2. Cable Connections

2-3-2. VIB
Pixel Clock Source
Two jumpers on the VIB specify the pixel clock
source. For an internal clock (generated by a
Phase Lock Loop module installed on the VIB),
set the jumpers to E1-E2 and E4-E5. For an
external clock (provided by the source
modality), set the jumpers to E2-E3 and E5-E6.
The jumpers are factory set, and should not
need to be changed unless a PLL module is
added or removed. Refer to Figure 2-5.
Continuous Acquire Mode
When a jumper is connecting pins E7 and E8,
the VIB operates in continuous-acquire mode.
This may be useful when attempting to examine
the source video signal. However, for normal
operation the two pins must not be connected
(place the jumper block on a single pin; this is
the factory setting).

2-4-2. Load MCS Parameters
Refer to the Help files for the parameters.
2-4-3. Load OIC Parameters
2-4-4. Load Keypad Parameters
2-4-5. Digital Modality Setup
Note
Load digital parameters from a script file
whenever possible (refer to Step 6 of
paragraph 2-4-1). If a script file is not
available for the modality, enter
parameters manually. To determine the
correct settings, refer to the OEM
specifications, contact the OEM site
engineer, or contact the Technical
Assistance Center.
1. From MPC Operations Setup, select the EIB
subsystem.
2. Select the first DIB user from the component
3. Select the Config window display button.
Note
When the Save button is selected, digital
parameters are loaded into the DIB.
4. Verify that the modality is generating an
image.
5. Select the Acquire button.
2-5
Note
If the acquire fails, recheck the digital
parameter settings. Modify the settings
as needed. Save the new settings, then
try to acquire again.
6. Select the Print button. Verify that the image
is printed successfully.
2-4-6. Video Modality Setup
2-4-6-1. Inspect Signals from Modality
1. Verify that the modality is generating an
image.
2. Inspect the video and pixel clock signals:
a. Check for two video modes. Check
with the OEM to determine if the
modality can operate in two different
modes that require different video
parameters. Some OEMs have one set
of video parameters for Live (Scan)
mode and another set for Review (Off
Tape) mode. Set up for one or the other.
b. Check for double termination. Observe
the host monitor while connecting the
video cable to a powered up VIB. If the
monitor image improves or stays the
same, there is no problem. If the monitor
image suddenly goes bad (ghosting,
blurring, faint, etc.), the video signal may
already be terminated once, and
connecting to the VIB causes a double
termination problem. If so, resolve this
problem before proceeding.
c. Check the pixel clock signal. Connect
the pixel clock cable to the oscilloscope
(do not terminate the scope). The pixel
clock signal must be above 0.5 volts
peak to peak and must be stable. (A
pixel clock filter may help eliminate
glitches in the pixel clock, but it may also
make it worse!) If the signal is okay,
connect the pixel clock cable to the VIB.
2-4-6-2. Enter Rough Video
Parameters
Note
Load video parameters from a script file
whenever possible (refer to Step 6 of
paragraph 2-4-1). If a script file is not
available for the modality, enter
parameters manually. This requires that
an oscilloscope be used to measure
some parameters; other parameters are
calculated based on these measure-
ments. Refer to the video parameter
Help screens in HQT MPC for Windows.
1. From MPC Operations Setup, select the EIB
subsystem.
2. Select the first VIB user from the component
Enter rough parameter settings, then select
the Save button.
Note
When the Save button is selected, the
video parameters are loaded into the
VIB.
4. Select the Acquire button.
S If successful, proceed to Step 11.
S If not successful, proceed to Step 5.
5. Temporarily set framing parameters to crop
the image to a 100 line by 100 pixel square.
(This is done to ensure that a vertical or
horizontal sync pulse is not sampled; the
parameters will be set for a full frame in
Step 11.)
S Set Image Lines to 100 and Horiz Active
Pixels to 100.
S Set Horizontal Delay and Vertical Delay
to select this 100 x 100 square from the
center of the image.
2-6
6. Connect the host video cable to the
oscilloscope (use a T connector with a 75
ohm terminator attached). Measure the
video signal from sync tip to maximum white
level. If less than 1 volt, set the Double Gain
parameter to 0.5 to 1.0. If more than 1 volt,
set the Double Gain parameter to 1.0 to 2.0
volts.
7. Set the following parameters to midpoints as
indicated:
S Clock Delay to 6.
S Fine Pixel Delay to 180.
S Black Level to 100.
8. Select the Save button.
9. Verify that the Enable LED is on. This
indicates that the parameter set has been
loaded and the VIB is in a ready state. Refer
to Figure 2-6.

12. Perform video fine tuning.
2-4-6-3. Fine Tune Video Parameters
Note
When printing images from MPC, the
images are replicated. Replication
reproduces the image from the host
exactly, without any smoothing. This is
done so that any blurring or ghosting will
be evident and not disguised by
processing the image. When printing
images from the keypad, the selected
interpolation value (smooth to sharp) is
used to process the image. This may
make the image look better, but may
also hide other problems. Therefore, it is
best to print from MPC when performing
fine tuning.
1. Display a SMPTE or OEM test pattern on
the OEM monitor. Be sure the image is at
OEM defined window and level. If a SMPTE
or test pattern is not available, try using a
customer image with all text removed and
define the sampling area to include the grey
scale. Another alternative is to window and
level the customer image so that there are
extreme blacks and whites across the whole
image.
2. Select the Tune window display button.
3. Select the Gain/Black Level button in the
Video Fine Tuning window.
2-7
4. An image is acquired, and then the Gain
and Black Level Rectangle Selection
window opens. Select the Retrieve button to
download the acquired image to the MPC.
Note
Each time the Gain and Black Level
Rectangle Selection window is opened,
an image is acquired and the most
recently downloaded (not the most
recently acquired) image is displayed.
This means that the window can be
opened multiple times while configuring
a modality without having to download
an image each time. However, be sure to
download an image for each modality,
and be aware that the downloaded
image may not match the most recently
acquired image (for example, if the
modalitys screen saver kicks in after the
image has been downloaded).
5. Examine the downloaded image:
a. Identify an area that includes maximum
blacks, but does not include any border
(video blanking) area. This is critical.
(The only area on a SMPTE pattern that
contains maximum black is the 100%
square; the other black bars are not
maximum black.)
b. Identify an area that includes maximum
whites, but does not include any
overwhite text. This is critical.
6. Click and drag to create a rectangle that
surrounds the true black and true white
areas identified in the previous step, then
select the OK button.
Note
At this point, the IMS samples the video
and passes the digital values to the
MPC. The MPC adjusts the black level
based on the sample. This sampling and
adjusting continues at approximately 4
second intervals.
7. The Gain & Black Level Fine Tune window
opens, and displays the minimum and
maximum digital values, along with the black
level and the digital gain.
Note
If all the values are zero, the acquire has
failed, and the cause should be
investigated.
8. At the MPC, select the Close button in the
Gain & Black Level Fine Tune window.
Note
Because this is a rough gain and black
level adjustment, the digital values
displayed at this point are not important.
They will become important when the
final adjustment is performed later in this
procedure.
9. Select the Bad Clock Delay button in the
Video Fine Tuning window. Select the OK
button when the Successful Acquire and
Successful Print messages are displayed.
10. The image is acquired using each of 16
different coarse clock delay settings. The 16
images are printed on one sheet of film. The
coarse delay setting is printed above each
image. Identify any images that exhibit
vertical line pixel shifting. Ignore any other
image problems at this time.
11. In the Bad Clock Delays window, select
those images identified in the previous step,
then select the OK button.
12. Select the Fine Pixel/Clock Delay button in
the Video Fine Tuning window. Select the
OK button when the Successful Acquire and
Successful Print messages are displayed.
13. The image is acquired and printed using 16
different combinations of fine pixel and clock
delays. The 16 images are printed in a 4:1
format on 4 sheets of film. The clock delay
and fine pixel delay are printed above each
image. Identify the single best image, then
proceed to Step 17.
Note
Perform Steps 14 through 16 only if a
single best image cannot be identified
when the images are printed in a 4:1
format.
2-8
14. Select the Print 1-Up button in the Video
Fine Tuning window.
15. Select an image to print in the Video Fine
Tuning Print Full Size window (image
numbers are printed above each image on
the 4:1 prints), then select the OK button.
Select the OK button when the Successful
Print message is displayed. Examine the
image on the film.
16. Repeat Step 15 as needed. When the single
best image has been identified, select the
Cancel button in the Video Fine Tuning
Print Full Size window.
Enter the clock delay and fine pixel delay
settings that are printed above the
previously identified image. Select the Save
button.
18. Repeat Steps 2 through 7.
19. At the MPC, if the adjustment is correct, the
following values will be displayed in the Gain
& Black Level Fine Tune window:
S The maximum value will be below 1023,
and should be 1016 for 8-bit pixels and
1022 for 12-bit pixels.
S The minimum value will be above 0, and
should be 4 for 8-bit pixels and 1 for
12-bit pixels.
20. When the values listed in the previous step
are displayed, select the Auto Adjust Stop
button to stop the continuous sampling of
the video. If the values are close, but not
right on, select the Auto Adjust Once
button to perform a single sample and adjust
cycle (this can be repeated as required).
Note
The sampling circuitry in the VIB is
susceptible to video noise which can
affect image Dmin values. To ensure that
image Dmin will be acceptable, the
following step will increase the gain
slightly to clip the noise from the video
signal. This will decrease image Dmin
(and Dmax) slightly.
21. To ensure that image Dmin will be
acceptable, increase the gain as follows:
S Add one to the displayed Digital Gain
value, then select the Manual Adjust
Once button. The intent now is to
produce a maximum value of 1023.
22. Increasing the gain decreases Dmax as well
as Dmin. To offset the gain increase,
increase the displayed Black Level value by
one, then select the Manual Adjust Once
button.
23. Select the Close button to accept the
displayed values.
24. Acquire and print a SMPTE test pattern
using the lowest available contrast setting
(usually contrast #1). Check the black and
white levels on the film. If the levels are set
correctly, the 95% and 5% patches on the
film will be equally visible.
If a SMPTE pattern is not available, use a
customer image and check the grey scale
steps. Again, using the lowest available
contrast setting, inspect the film for visual
distinction of the first two and last two steps
of the grey scale. ( Note: A low contrast
setting produces low contrast in the middle
of the scale and high contrast at the ends of
the scale.) Step 2 should not blend into step
1, and step 15 should not blend into step 16.
If the OEM monitor is adjusted properly
(refer to paragraph 2-4-6-5), its grey scale
can be used for comparison purposes.
If the VIB is set up CORRECTLY: What is
normally seen (using a contrast test) is that
the contrast test #1 Dmax (0% square) is
lighter than a dark border and Dmin (100%
square) is equal to or slightly darker than a
clear border. It is not until later contrast tests
that image Dmax and Dmin equal film Dmax
and Dmin. This is acceptable, gives good
quality images, and results in the 95% and
5% patches on a SMPTE test film being
equally visible. If desired, the image Dmax
can be forced to match the border Dmax.
There are two ways to accomplish this:
2-9
S In the Image Parameters window, set the
Match Border parameter to Yes.
S Increase the Black Level value by one or
two digits. This will darken up the image
Dmax, and will also darken up the image
Dmin slightly. Do not go past the point of
just matching image Dmax to border
Dmax or the 5% patch will start to
disappear.
If the VIB is set up INCORRECTLY: Using
contrast #1, either the 95% or 5% patch will
be gone or faint. If using a customer image,
step 2 of the grey scale will blend with or be
only faintly darker than step 1, or step 15 will
blend with or be only faintly lighter than step
16. (See Step 25 of this procedure for
possible solutions.)
The other possible incorrect setup of the VIB
is that image Dmax is significantly lighter
than film Dmax or that image Dmin is
significantly darker than film Dmin. Using a
contrast test, this can be seen by the fact
that image Dmax and Dmin do not match
film Dmax and Dmin until the last few
contrast levels, or they never reach film
Dmax and Dmin. (See Step 25 of this
procedure for possible solutions.)
If the VIB is set up PERFECTLY: All of the
following will be true (with Match Border set
to Yes):
S Contrast #1 Dmax and Dmin will match
the border Dmax and Dmin.
S Increasing the final Black Level setting
by one will make the contrast #1 Dmin
slightly darker than a clear border.
S Decreasing the final Black Level setting
by one will make the contrast #1 Dmax
slightly lighter than a dark border.
This would be the perfect situation.
However, in most cases, the VIB does not
seek black and white level this accurately.
25. If the black or white level is unacceptable,
try any of the following:
S Assuming that fine tuning has been
done, try selecting a different sampling
area (use different row and column
settings) when performing the MPC gain
adjustment.
S Try a different image (see Step 1 of this
procedure).
S The Black Level setting can be
increased by one or two digits to darken
up the image Dmax. This will also
darken up the image Dmin slightly.
S If still having problems, contact TAC, a
PST member, or the local video expert.
26. Make final adjustments to framing
parameters to obtain the full frame. The
preceding fine tuning steps may have
shifted the horizontal delay so that a pixel is
lost on the right or left side of the image. To
check for this, print a film with clear borders
(change the Border setting in the Image
Parameters window to 4095). View the
image. If a pixel is missing from the left or
right side, add or subtract one pixel from the
Horizontal Delay setting. Be sure to change
the Border setting back to 0 when fine
tuning is complete.
27. Proceed to paragraph 2-4-6-4.
2-4-6-4. Set Customer Preferences
When performing the following procedure, note
that the method of setting customer preferences
varies depending on the control source.
For Keypad and host control users:
S Density and contrast are set at the Local
Keypad of the 969 HQT. Refer to the 969
HQT Operators Guide for details.
S Smooth/sharp image processing is set via
MPC, based on interpolation settings. Refer
to the MPC for Windows Help file for details.
2-10
1. Have the customer select a typical image
that contains the range of contrasts they will
be looking for.
2. Acquire the image and print a contrast test.
3. If everything looks too light or too dark,
adjust the density setting. If the density
setting looks okay, have the customer select
a contrast setting.
4. If the customer finds the image
unacceptable at any combination of density
and contrast levels, it is possible that the
gain/black level adjustment needs to be
redone using a different image, or the OEM
monitor may be misadjusted (refer to
paragraph 2-4-6-5).
5. Have the customer select smooth or sharp
image processing. If neither smooth nor
sharp is acceptable to the customer, the
interpolation settings may need to be
changed. Refer to the MPC for Windows
Help file for details on how to change
interpolation settings.
2-4-6-5. OEM Monitor Adjustment
If the customer likes the images there is no
need to adjust the OEM monitor even though it
may be slightly off. However, if the customer is
unable to get an acceptable contrast on the
images, it may be necessary to make the
following checks and/or adjustments.
Theory
The OEMs video generator board outputs a
video signal to the OEM monitor. This same
video signal is sent to the VIB. The window and
level controls adjust this video signal, which
affects both the image displayed on the OEM
monitor and the image printed on the film. If the
monitors brightness and contrast are out of
adjustment, the customer will compensate by
adjusting the window and level controls until the
image looks good on the monitor. The result of
this is that the image on the film and the image
on the monitor do not match. Therefore, it is
important that after the brightness and contrast
have been set correctly, the customer does not
turn the brightness and contrast knobs. (Over
time the monitor will tend to drift, and the
brightness and contrast may have to be
adjusted by the OEM.)
Check
With the SMPTE pattern at OEM defined
window and level values, the 5% patches (both
black and white) should be visible, and should
have equal contrast to the enveloping 100%
and 0% boxes around them. If the 5% patches
are not visible, or are not equally visible, the
OEM monitor should be adjusted.
S Ask the OEM to adjust the monitor.
S Be there when the OEM adjusts the monitor,
and ensure that the ambient lighting is the
same as the normal lighting the customer
uses when filming.
Adjustment
1. Adjust the white first. Looking at the text,
turn the OEM contrast knob until the whites
just start to smear. Then back off the
contrast just to the threshold of smearing.
The 95%/100% patch in the SMPTE should
now be visible.
2. Adjust the black. Turn the brightness knob
until the image starts to fill in. Continue until
the black in the image starts to turn grey. At
this point, the 5%/0% patch should be
visible. Back off the brightness until there is
an equal balance in the visual ratio of 0% to
5% as 100% to 95%. These two patches
are the key.

The following paragraphs describe the Image
Management System (IMS) of the 969 HQT.
Interaction of the IMS with the 969 HQT
machine control system is illustrated on the
functional and wiring diagrams in Section 7 of
this addendum.
6-2. Image Management System
The IMS consists of a group of boards which
perform image acquisition, interpolation,
filtering, formatting, and output to the Laser
Optics. It has interfaces for up to two keypads
or hosts through the TDB and interfaces for
image sources through two optional interface
boards. The IMS can be configured with either
an 8-bit or 12-bit data path and image memory
ranging from 16 to 128 megapixels. The IPB is
the core of the IMS and acts as a backplane.
The other boards in the IMS are either daughter
boards that plug directly into the IPB or are
connected by cable. The IPB interfaces with
969 HQT Machine Control System (MCS) and
optics via an MCS Interface Board.
The IMS can be configured with combinations of
the following boards (see also Figure 6-1):

The main IMS boards are mounted on an inner
swing-out panel in the IMS Enclosure (see
Figure 6-2). The connectors for the TDB and
image interface boards are accessible when the
panel is swung out. The two image interface
boards (DIB or VIB) are the same size and
install in the same location. Only one image
interface board can be installed at a time.
Note
From one to four Memory Daughter
Boards (MDBs) can be installed, but all
installed boards must be of the same
type; i.e., either 8 or 12-bit and either 16
or 32 megapixel.
Figure 6-2. IMS Enclosure Components

6-2-1. Image Processor Board (IPB)
The IPB performs the acquisition, interpolation,
filtering, formatting, and transfer of an image to
the Laser Optics via the MCS. The IPB includes
the following logical blocks to perform these
tasks:
Block Function
Microprocessor Controls the functions of the IPB and interface boards.
Image Interface Connects the IPB to one of the four possible image interface boards.
Scale LUT Maps the input pixel width to the memory width.
Acquisition
Control &
Memory Timing
Controls image acquisition modes and generates the timing needed for the
image memory.
Image Memory
Control
Consists of image memory control, an address generator, and connectors for
the four MDBs.
Interpolation Performs image interpolation and filtering.
Contrast Table Provides a 10-bit to 12-bit output conversion and a linear 12-bit output path.
(Located in IPB EPROM.)
Format Control Controls the output to the Laser Optics interface and switches between image
and border.
Printer Interface Outputs the formatted image data to the Laser Opticsvia the MCS.
Parameter RAM Stores acquisition and print parameters and performs parameter initialization
between various logic blocks.
Communication
Microprocessor
Provides an interface to the TDB.
6-5
6-2-1-1. IPB Functions
The bold arrows in Figure 6-3 show the image
data path through the IPB. Data enters through
the Image Interface Block, passes through the
Scale LUT Block, and is stored in the Image
Memory Block. This path is active during an
external image acquisition. The microprocessor
can acquire images directly through the Scale
LUT Block. During a print operation, this data is
read from the image memory, is interpolated
and filtered through the Interpolation Block and
then is passed through the Contrast Table Block
to the Printer Interface Block. In diagnostic
mode, the Microprocessor Block can bypass the
Printer Interface Block and intercept the output
data at the Contrast Table Block.
The IPB uses a Motorola 68302 microprocessor.
It is a highly integrated device with a 68000 core
and several additional features. Among them
are two serial communication controllers. One is
used to control the serial port to the MCS via
the MCS Interface Board, over which system
commands and status are exchanged. The
other is used for the service modem. Only one
of these serial ports can be active at a time. The
service modem port is RS-232 compatible, while
the MCS port is differential.

6-2-1-2. Bandwidth
The system is designed for 120 nanosecond
memory which requires a total memory
bandwidth of 8.3325 MHz. The IPB has a
33.330 MHz system clock which is divided down
to provide the required memory bandwidth. The
bandwidth is divided as follows:
Image Transmission 4.16625 MHz
Image Acquisition 4.10225 MHz
Memory Refresh 0.06400 MHz
Note
The refresh cycle steals from the
acquisition bandwidth in order to perform
the refresh.
Image acquisition will support a line burst rate of
4 megapixels per second and have a maximum
average transfer rate of 3 megapixels per
second line to line. Acquisition of video images
having a 110 MHz pixel frequency will be
supported by allowing a maximum of 32
acquisition passes.
6-2-2. Memory Daughter Boards (MDB)
Refer to Figure 6-4 for a block diagram of the
MDB.
The MDB is available with 16 or 32 megapixels
(MP) of memory. The 16 MP version has an
8-bit pixel width; the 32 MP version is available
with an 8-bit or a 12-bit pixel width.
The MDB is built with 4 banks of memory. Each
bank consists of thirteen DRAMs in a ZIP
package. Each bank has an 11-bit address bus,
13-bit data input bus, 13-bit data output bus,
and 3-bits of control. The memory is organized
for 12-bit image pixels having 1-bit of parity. A
fully configured board provides for a 12-bit data
path and has 52 DRAMs.
The memory banks can be depopulated for an
8-bit image plus 1-bit parity configuration. The
four least significant bits (03) are depopulated.
A depopulated board provides for an 8-bit data
path and has 36 DRAMs.
The address for each memory bank is provided
through one of two address multiplexers which
also double as the address drivers. One
multiplexer drives banks 0 and 1 and the other
drives banks 2 and 3. They take the lower 22
bits of the input address and convert these to
row and column addresses to the DRAM. A
single control signal from the IPB switches the
multiplexers between the two DRAM addresses.
The presence or absence of a pull-down resistor
at the IPB connector is used to indicate to the
IPB whether a MDB is an 8 or 12-bit version.
The IPB masks the four least significant bits for
an 8-bit MDB. A pin is grounded at the IPB
connector to indicate to the IPB whether a MDB
is installed at that connector location. Another
pin is grounded at the IPB connector to indicate
to the IPB whether a MDB is a 16 or 32 MP
version.
6-7
The information on which pins are grounded is
used by a memory configuration register on the
IPB to determine image memory width and size
and the number of boards. The board size and
number of boards installed are combined with
the current address to generate board select
signals. A memory out-of-bounds error is
generated when a memory access is attempted
to a board that is not installed. All boards must
be installed in order. If a board is missing, the
system will not recognize the boards that follow.
If 8-bit and 12-bit boards are intermixed, then
the system will assume that they are all 8-bit
boards. In addition, 16 and 32 MP boards
cannot be intermixed.

6-2-3. Translator Daughter Board
(TDB)
The TDB provides two serial communication
interfaces between the IPB and two hosts
and/or keypads. It is responsible for receiving
commands from the hosts/keypads, checking
for protocol and transmission errors, and
sending the commands to the microprocessor
on the IPB. It also receives responses from the
IPB, formats these responses, and transmits
them to the host/keypad.
The TDB has a microprocessor which is
responsible for the functions on this board.
Communication between the microprocessor on
the TDB and the microprocessor on the IPB is
handled through a dual-port RAM which resides
on the IPB. The communication parameters for
the two serial ports on the TDB are passed from
the IPB to the TDB through the dual-port RAM
after a power-up reset.
The two serial ports on the TDB are jumper
selectable for either RS-232 or RS-422
operation. Both ports have only receive and
transmit signals. There is no hardware
handshaking on either port. They will support
baud rates up to 19.2K.
The TDB will accept different command sets
and translate them into a common command
set. In this way, the IPB will only require a single
command set to be active.
6-2-4. Image Interface Boards (DIB or
VIB)
The system is capable of being configured for
either a digital or video input. The digital input
may be from one or two sources. The video
input may be from one or two sources and may
either provide an external clock or use a plug-in
phase lock loop (PLL) board for internal clock
generation.
6-2-4-1. Digital Interface Board (DIB)
The DIB provides for two digital host copper
connections to the system through the IPB. The
interfaces are multiplexed, which allows only
one interface to be active at a time. They are
designed to handle a maximum pixel width of 12
bits. The inputs on each interface are optically
isolated and are RS422 compatible on the
request and re-transmit lines. The maximum
image transfer rate is 4 MP/sec. The host
system is responsible for ensuring that the 3
MP/sec average transfer rate is not exceeded.
The DIB interfaces to the IPB through the image
source interface connector (CN1107). It
provides a 12-bit image output to the IPB along
with an input parity error detected signal and a
strobe. The DIB receives its parameters over a
10-bit parameter bus and returns command
status over a 2-bit command bus. Both
functions provide a strobe signal. The DIB
receives its power, clock, and power-up reset
from the IPB through CN1107.
The DIB has test pattern generation circuitry.
The test image data is stored in an EPROM
which is supplied and installed by Imationt.
The image is transferred at a 2 MP/sec rate.
The maximum image size is 512x509 in
831/952/959 format and 512x511 in 969 format.
There are two defined forms of image
transmission. The first is 831/952/959 digital
protocol. In this format, a line-by-line
handshaking is performed, which requires a
request for each line. The host terminates each
line, except the last, with an EOM. The last line
is terminated with an EOT. The second is 969
protocol. The entire image is transferred at once
with no line-by-line handshaking. The host
terminates the transfer with an EOT. In both
protocols, it is possible to transmit a 4 byte
header prior to the image data to define the
image size. The IMS treats the header as a
separate image, which requires that it be
terminated with an EOT.
6-9
6-2-4-2. Video Interface Board (VIB)
The VIB converts video image data to a digital
format and transfers it to the IPB over the image
source interface. The video image must be a
composite video signal meeting the RS170/343
or equivalent standard and is usually the output
of a D/A converter. The VIB also provides an
input for the clock that samples the D/A
converter. The video is digitized to 9-bits/pixel.
The VIB supports external clock sampling up to
110 MHz by allowing a maximum of 32 passes
for one acquisition. A Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
module can be plugged into the VIB to provide
the clock for synchronous digitization when an
external clock is not available. The VIB can
accept video signals with interlaced or
progressive scan modes.
The VIB has two video interfaces for image
acquisition only one of which may acquire at
any one time. Each interface consists of a video
input, video output and a pixel clock input. The
VIB interfaces to the IPB through the image
source interface connector (CN1107). It
provides a 9-bit image output to the IPB along
with a strobe. the VIB receives its parameters
over a 10-bit parameter bus and returns
command status over a 2-bit command bus.
Both functions provide a strobe signal. The VIB
receives its power, clock and power-up reset
from the IPB through CN1107.
6-2-5. New Modem Board (NMB)
Refer to Figure 6-5 for a block diagram of the
NMB. This board provides an RS232 serial
communications interface to the IPB via a nine-
pin connector. The MPC can be connected to
this port for performaqnce of system setup and
diagnostics. Or an external modem can be
connected to the port from an approved
medical isolation transformer (refer to
Figure 6-6).

S Provides a passive serial communication link
between the IMS and the optics.
The optics interface supports the following
functions:
S Accepts start-of-line requests from the
optics, and supports up to two requests for
each stored line.
S Transmits pixels to the optics at a 2.5
megapixel per second rate, and outputs
4096 pixels per line.
S Generates odd parity for each output pixel.
S Provides a passive serial communication link
between the IMS and the optics.
The data buffer supports the following functions:
S Stores two lines of data consisting of 4096
pixels per line and 12 bits per pixel.
S Provides time interleaving of write and read
operations.
S Provides write rates up to 4.167 pixels per
second.
S Provides read rates of 2.5 megapixels per
second.

8-3. Troubleshooting Flowcharts and
Supporting Procedures
This subsection contains troubleshooting
flowcharts and supporting procedures. The
flowcharts are keyed to error messages that
apply only to the 969 HQT. These error
messages relate wholly (or partially) to IMS
functions. For flowcharts relating to error codes
that pertain to the MCS (and thus are common
to both the HQ and HQT), see Section 8 of the
969 HQ Service Manual.
8-3-1. Connecting the MPC to the IMS
for Troubleshooting
1. Turn off power on the MPC and (if possible)
the imager.
2. Remove the lower access panel from the
rear of the imager.
3. Connect a straight-through serial cable
((9-pin female to 9-pin male) between the
COM 1 serial port of the MPC and the lower
serial port on the rear of the IMS enclosure.
8-3-2. Log and Local Panel Message
Flowcharts
Flowcharts are provided for the following log and
local panel messages. Where trouble analysis
procedures are identical for different error codes,
a single flowchart is provided for multiple codes.
