Neurodiagnostic Instruments Service Manual
5 - 36 Revision 2/18/05
Verify the Device Configuration
Manager (DCM) Settings (All Stations)
The Device Configuration Manager settings tell Nicvue
where data and reports are stored on the local hard drive,
and also point to the local CD or DVD writer for
archiving purposes. The DCM settings are unique for
each station, and must be verified or, in some cases
changed.
Systems require a minimum of three DCM entries: the
local data storage location, the local report storage
location, and the local CDR or DVD drive.
NOTE:
Each acquisition or review program loaded onto a
system requires data and report entries in the DCM list.
7. Open the My Computer window and browse
to the local computer’s C:\Nicolet\Npa
folder.
8. Verify that a local database file
(NpaLocal.mdb) physically resides in this
folder.
9. To avoid confusion, delete the “main”
database file on the local computer
(Npa.mdb) if it exists in the C:\Nicolet\Npa
folder.
10. Close the My Computer window.
Step Action
1. From within NicVue, select Tools/System
Setup. The password is nicolet.
2. From the Miscellaneous tab, select DCM.
3. If the Computer name has changed, make
the necessary changes to the System Name
of the DCM window. This will reassign the
Label so that it functions correctly.
4. There should be DCM entries for the local
data and report storage paths on the C:\ or
D:\ drive, and a selection for the CD or
DVD drive.
Unless data will be stored directly to a
remote server, these are the only three
selections that are needed.
NOTE:
A CD or DVD must be present in the
archive media drive to exit and save
properly. Otherwise, the CD or DVD
drive is not recognized.
5. If data is going to be stored directly to the
Server, add a selection for the server. The
entry will look like: Host = \\Server Name =
\\SharePath and No drive letter. Because the
server will not automatically have a path set
up for the VIASYS applications, you may
need to create a directory and share path.
We recommend that you use the same share
structure that was set up on the Acquisition
systems (\Nicolet as the share folder and the
necessary folders under that, for example,
\EEG, \LTM, \NPA, \VikDir).
6. Click on the Network Systems tab.
7. Click the Add New button. The Browse for
computers window appears.
8. Left click on the plus sign next to Entire
Network.
9. Left click on the plus sign next to Microsoft
Windows Network.
10. Left click on the plus sign next to Nicolet
Workgroup.
11. Highlight the system you wish to add and
click on OK.
12. Click on OK to accept the changes and exit.
13. Repeat steps 7-11 for each system you wish
to add.
