Imaging board installation 3MP2FH PRODUCT OVERVIEW The BarcoMed 3MP2FH Graphics Controller delivers a quality 2048x1536 pixel image with 1024 simultaneous shades of gray for medical imaging applications. Features of the BarcoMed 3MP2FH • Dual Head Configuration • 2048 x1536 resolution at 60 Hz • 10 bit performance on LCD • 32MB Video Memory • Portrait or Landscape Mode • 1024 Simultaneous shades of gray • Hardware cursor • Single slot PCI card • Control Panel supports the English ( U.S.
Imaging board installation System Configuration Guidelines Because of the low power consumption and low heat generation of the 3MP2FH, multiple boards may be installed in adjacent PCI slots or adjacent to other PCI boards. Additionally there should be no need to modify either the PC’s power supply and/or cooling system.
Imaging board installation PLANNING YOUR 3MP2FH INSTALLATION Important installation considerations Preparations before installation 1 Make certain all equipment is switched off. 2 In case you use a PCI expansion chassis, please install it following the guidelines in its User’s Guide. 3 Familiarize yourself with the 3MP2FH Imaging Board and the cables used to connect it to the display panel. 4 Read through this guide from beginning to end.

Imaging board installation HARDWARE INSTALLATION Notice: Wear a protective ESD strap during installation or handling of the board. Electrostatic charges can damage the board. Familiarizing Yourself With the 3MP2FH Prior to installing your 3MP2FH board(s) in your PC please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with both the board and the PCI slots in your computer. Figure 1: The 3MP2FH Switch Locations There are four switches located at SW1 on the 3MP2FH.

Imaging board installation Figure 2: PCI and RAID Controller Slots Installing the BarcoMed 3MP2FH Graphics Controller Install the 3MP2FH into your computer following these steps: 1. Turn off the power to your computer and disconnect the power cord. 2. Remove the chassis cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure to observe safety warnings. 3.
Imaging board installation Running Multiple BarcoMed 3MP2FH Boards in a Single Host The physical order of the displays may vary when you are running multiple BarcoMed 3MP2FH boards. This is due to the PC’s PCI bus control in the system BIOS, and not the BarcoMed board. It may become necessary, depending on how your PC’s BIOS configures the PCI bus, to switch your DVI display connections to achieve a linear desktop configuration. Figure 3: The Video Outputs.

BarcoMed software driver installation BARCO METHEUS DPMS OVERVIEW Introduction The Barco Metheus DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) Screen Saver allows the user to set power and monitor saving features for medical monitors driven by BarcoMed Imaging Boards. At the end of the work day, the monitor will enter certain DPMS states as requested by the imaging board. This is accomplished through standardized signals between the monitor and imaging board. The default DPMS state is the Off state.
BarcoMed software driver installation BarcoMetheus DPMS Screen Saver Options From the “Barco Metheus DPMS Screen Saver Control Panel” you can change many DPMS screen saver elements simultaneously. The DPMS screen saver elements in each scheme are work schedule, work day screen saver, DPMS settings after work day, and many additional options. Current Scheme Lists the three “DEFAULT” schemes which you can use as they are. Or you can modify them to meet your office’s schedule.
BarcoMed software driver installation work day. This “regular” screen saver and its settings can be chosen from the “Screen Saver During Work Day” section. We recommend using an all black screen saver, such as the “Barco Metheus Blank Screen” saver, for the longest phosphor life. On LCD based monitors, such as the Barco ImageTile displays, it is not necessary to invoke a screen saver as there is no CRT phosphor to preserve.

Sentinel setup (This page intentionally left blank.
Sentinel setup INTRODUCING SENTINEL What is Sentinel? The built-in SENTINEL® board and software turn IMAGETILE ® into an intelligent, web-enabled device, which can be addressed via the facility network through a user-friendly browser interface. Thanks to Sentinel, you can consult a number of the panel's settings online, on any PC connected to the network. Moreover, Sentinel can generate e-mails to user-defined addresses in case a setting exceeds a warning or error tolerance level.
Sentinel setup INSTALLING THE SENTINEL SETUP SOFTWARE To install the Sentinel Setup software, proceed as follows: 1 Exit all open programs. 2 Insert the Sentinel Setup CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. 3 Open the Sentinel Setup CD-ROM. 4 Double-click on Setup.exe. The Setup application starts. 5 Click on the Next> button. 6 Read the License agreement on the screen very carefully. Scroll down to read the complete text.
Sentinel setup ENTERING INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS PROPERTIES Entering address properties for the first time Note: When you enter the address properties for the first time, there is no time limit for entering the address properties. But if the address properties have already been entered before (which you cannot distinguish when you start Sentinel Setup), there is a time limit of 2 minutes for entering the properties.
Sentinel setup Entering a fixed IP-address Proceed as follows: 1 Make sure the connected computer supplies an image to the ImageTile panel. 2 Make sure the ImageTile is connected to the network, using the network connector on the ImageTile itself. 3 Run the application "sentinel.setup" from the Start -> Programs -> Sentinel menu. The Sentinel Network Configuration dialog appears. 4 Check the option No DHCP server available. 5 Enter valid addresses in the fields IP-address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.
Sentinel setup 10 As a result, the computer will try to establish communication with the ImageTile panel. When the communication has been established, the following message appears: Important: Write down the IP-address for future reference: You will need it to browse to the ImageTile later. Click on OK to close the message. Then click on Cancel in the Sentinel Network Configuration dialog to finish.
Sentinel setup Acquiring an IP-address dynamically Proceed as follows: 1 Make sure the connected computer supplies an image to the ImageTile panel. 2 Make sure the ImageTile is connected to the network, using the network connector on the ImageTile itself. 3 Run the application "sentinel.setup" from the Start -> Programs -> Sentinel menu. The Sentinel Network Configuration dialog appears. 4 Check the option DHCP server available. 5 Enter the IP-address of your mail server in the field Mailhost IP.
Sentinel setup Important: The message that the software returns, mentions the IP-address of the Sentinel board. Write down the IP-address for future reference: You will need it to browse to the ImageTile later. Click on OK to close the message. Then click on Cancel in the Sentinel Network Configuration dialog to finish. 9 When the communication with the ImageTile failed, the following message appears: Click on OK to close the message and enter the correct data in the dialog.
Sentinel setup Changing the address properties When the ImageTile already has got an IP-address, you can change the Internet Protocol address properties using the Sentinel Setup software. For more information about the different possibilities in entering the address properties, please refer to the previous chapter "Entering address properties for the first time". To change the address properties, proceed as follows: 1 Make sure the connected computer supplies an image to the ImageTile panel.
Sentinel setup CONNECTION PROBLEMS In this chapter you may find some hints to help you in case the computer cannot connect to the ImageTile after entering or changing the address properties. The same hints may help in case you cannot remotely connect to the ImageTile with your web browser. Re-enter the address properties After entering the address properties, the connection with the ImageTile may fail because you have entered wrong data. So, you can try to repeat the procedure and enter the correct data.
Sentinel setup Looking up the ImageTile's IP-address When trying to connect remotely to the ImageTile using your web browser, the connection may fail because you may have entered the wrong IP-address in the browser's address field. When you have forgotten the ImageTile's IP-address, you can look it up on the computer connected to the ImageTile. Therefore, start Windows Explorer on that computer and browse to the folder where the Sentinel Setup application is installed.
