CardioSoft normally checks all LPT ports to detect the CORINA acquisition box. If the
connected printer has problems with this access and you have CardioSoft V4.14 or
greater, there is a possibility to fix this problem.
Remedy: Open WIN.INI and write in section [CARDIO] WCO_CorinaLptPort=x where x
is the number of the LPT Port, CORINA is connected to. If you define PortNo. 0, the
detection for CORINA will be disabled. This could be neccesary on View and Edit
stations, if there are problems with the printer after starting CardioSoft.
- Error when reading examinations, examinations get lost
Error messages when calling up examinations from the archive or examinations no
longer there.
Remedy: There are two causes which may lead to the loss of data on hard disks. One is
a read error on the disk, the second is the destructive influence of some viruses.
Indications of a defective hard disk sometimes exhibit themselves as reading errors in
certain sectors. The number of defective sectors increases with time. Such a hard disk
must be replaced.
- Patient locked, although only called up from one work station
A patient in the network is locked, although they are only called up from one work
station. This error occurs only occurs when the program crashes or after switching off the
PC without having terminated CardioSoft beforehand.
Remedy: Delete the file network.btr and station.btr in the subdirectory \database of the
CardioSoft directory. Please be sure that CardioSoft is not running form any workstation.
- Monitoring stress tests
Attempt to monitor a stress test from two stations at the same time.
Remedy: None! A stress test currently being performed can be monitored from one
station only at any one time.
- Swapping out examinations
Almost simultaneous swap-out at several stations; examinations are destroyed.
Remedy: None! Refer to Device Manual.
- Transferring examinations to data media
When an examination is transferred to another data medium, naming a subdirectory with
an umlaut (ä,ö,ü..), the examination cannot be retrieved.
Remedy: Create subdirectories without umlauts.
It is not possible to transfer more than 512 examinations into the root directory of a data
medium as DOS is only able to manage a maximum of 512 files on this medium. If more
examinations are the to transferred, a subdirectory must be created. The number of files
there is practically unlimited.
