EMI, ESD Considerations

The MINI6600 system uses static-sensitive integrated circuits and other components. Failure to use a ground-
ing wrist strap could cause serious static electricity damage to printed circuit boards and active electronic com-
ponents. Securely ground the wrist strap before attempting any repairs.

The MINI6600 System is certified for minimal electromagnetic interference. If you remove the cover over the
6600 Controller PCB for service or for other reasons, you must replace all hardware and shielding gaskets
securing the cover and PCB. Failure to reuse all hardware could have unfavorable effects on the EMI rating.

CAUTION:
When replacing the EMI/RFI covers over the Control Panel Processor PCB, do not damage the metal
gasket material around the edge of the PCB box. Replace the gasket material if damaged to ensure
compliance with EMI/RFI regulations. When replacing a cover, do the following:

1. Start with one corner of the cover over the box

2. Push the cover diagonally from the corner against the spring tension of the gasket material.
3. Make sure the edges of the cover are not pushing on the mounting edge of the gasket material
and gently push the cover down over the box.

Surge Suppressor PCB

NOTE:
Refer to Schematic #876784.

The Surge Suppressor PCB is located on the bottom right hand side of the Workstation. Remove the right side
cover and a clear plastic safety cover for access.

The purpose of the Surge Suppressor PCB is to protect the equipment by absorbing surges and spikes during
typical use. This board also prevents excessive inrush current when the equipment is powered on.

There are four thermistors used for current suppression, RT1-RT4. Two thermistors are in series in each
neutral line. RV1 and RV2 are 300 VAC MOV varistors used in conjunction with E1 and E2 gas tube surge
arrestors for surge suppression in the common mode (interference on all AC lines). RV3 and RV4 are 150 VAC
MOV varistors used with C2 and C3 for surge suppression in the normal mode (interference between line and
neutral).

Power Control PCB

NOTE:
Refer to schematic #00-878001.

The Power Control PCB is located in the bottom of the Workstation on the left hand side as shown in FIGURE
2. Gain access by removing the left side panel and a clear plastic, protective shield.
AC1-T1 and AC2-T1 from the T1 isolation transformer enters the Power Control PCB at P1 on pins 4 and 6,
then exit at P4 pin 1 (AC1_CART) and P4 pin 4 (AC2_CART) to supply power to the AC outlet strip, fans B1,
B2, B3 and System Power Supply PS1 (+12 v, -12v, +5v, -5v). AC2 also exits as AC2_PS4 at P6 pin 1 to sup-
ply PS4 (+24v). Both PS1 and PS4 power the Workstation. See the Workstation Interconnect Diagram for
details of AC distribution.
AC_T1 and RTN_T1 from the isolation transformer enters the Power Control PCB at P1 on pins 1 and 3, then
exit at P5 pins 1 (115VAC_PH) and P5 pin 4 (115VAC_RTN) to PS2 (+5v, +12v, -12v, +24v) which powers the
C-Arm.
The +12V_KEY is created on the Power Control PCB using AC1 through circuit breaker CB1, transformer T1,
bridge CR1, and voltage regulator U1. The +12V_KEY is sent to the keyswitch on the front of the Workstation
and to K3 and K4. When you close the keyswitch, the +12V (Key_Pwr) is sent to the following places on the
Power Control PCB:
• K1 which supplies power to PS1 and PS4.
• K2 which switches +24 volts from PS4 to the monitors through
CB2 and CB3.
• Through jumper E7 pins 3 and 2 to input pins 4 and 5 of inverting buffer U2. Output pins 13 and 12 of
U2 go low. This provides a current path through P2 pins 1 and 3 (LOOP2 and LOOP1) to turn on K3 and
K4 that supplies AC and RTN to PS2. This powers the X-ray source, Image Intensifier, CCD Camera and
the 6600 Controller PCB in the C-Arm.
WARNING:
The AC return (RTN) line carries a voltage potential of 60 VAC and 80 VDC relative to ground.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Power Distribution

Workstation Power Distribution

AC1_CART and AC2_CART leave the Power Control PCB at connector P4 and are distributed by terminal
block TB2. Circuit breaker CB3 is in-line between isolation transformer T1 and the Power Control PCB.
AC1_CART provides power to fan, B1, and the Workstation power supply PS1 (+5V, -5V, +12V, -12V).
AC2_CART provides power for fans B2 and B3.
AC1_CART and AC2_CART provide power to a 115/230 VAC outlet strip used for connecting the peripheral
equipment such as the VCR and thermal image printer options. If the system has Thermal Image capability
and an internal VCR, an additional cooling fan B4 (shown in FIGURE 2) is powered from the outlet strip. You
can access the power strip, located inside the Workstation, by removing the rear cover as shown in FIGURE 4.
The DC outputs of PS1 (+5V, -5V, +12V, -12V) go to the DC Power Distribution PCB, located in the Workstation
electronics box. These voltages are distributed throughout the Workstation. PS1 is mounted on the inside of
the electronics box on the hinged side panel as shown in FIGURE 4.
PS4 (+24 VDC) is located at the bottom of the Workstation on the left hand side, near the Power Control PCB
as shown in FIGURE 2. PS4 provides the left and right monitors with +24 VDC via the Power Control PCB
(see Power Control PCB for details).

pliance with EMI/RFI regulations.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

Microprocessor
The microprocessor U10 is an 80C196KC microprocessor driven by a 7.37 MHz. clock. Crystal Y1 and flip flop
U15 provides the clock. Monitor the clock signal to U10 at TP5 (OSC) on the 6600 Controller PCB.
Reset Controller Circuit
The reset controller U26 provides the reset signal to the microprocessor U10, decoder pals U5 and U9 and se-
rial communications controller U1. The reset line is held low for approximately 300 ms by U26 after +5 volts has
risen above 4.75 vdc. The reset signal is set high and is applied to U45 pin 12 (AND gate input). U45 pin 13
(AND gate input), from the window manager, is set high after the serial prom U18 configures the window con-
troller U17. The microprocessor reset line (TP1) is set high releasing the microprocessor. The microprocessor
U10 loads the program from EPROM U6. As the program begins to run, the P1.4 output of U10 generates a re-
set signal that resets the watchdog timer. The watch dog timer input is reset approximately every 18 ms by the
software.
Automatic Exposure Control
Automatic Exposure Control drives the technique in the auto mode. The Controller PCB receives a video signal
from the CCD chip in the camera that enters the Controller PCB at J5. The video signal is proportional to the
amount of light entering the camera before applying black level and gain to the video signal. The video signal is
AC coupled to a DC restoration clamp (U45) and applied to a low pass filter (R80 and C89) to develop an aver-
age video signal level. The microprocessor U10 at AD input 5 measures the average video input 5 to control
the technique produced by the X-ray source. The window manager (U17) produces a sample window for the
average video level detector. Software loaded into EPROM U8 controls the size of the sample window.
Memory
The 6600 Controller PCB contains the following memory devices:
• EPROM U6 contains the program to run the 6600 Controller PCB.
• Static ram U7 (32K x 8).
• Serial prom U18, contains configuration data for the window manager U17 and used for Automatic Ex-
posure Control (AEC).
• EEPROM U8 (2K x 8) contains 50 or 60 Hz data for the AEC window and the technique table for AEC
as well as monoblock generator calibration data. The workstation software downloads this data.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

Control Panel Interface

Control Panel Buttons
The keypad scan circuit located on the 6600 Controller PCB reads the C-Arm Control Panel buttons shown in
FIGURE 2.
The Control Panel buttons are clocked by row pulses on three lines. These three lines of row pulses exit the
6600 Controller PCB at P9 pins 3, 2 and 1 and go to the control panel. Decoder PAL U9 pin 18 (ROW_WRITE)
and latch U11 pins 17, 18 and 19 (ROW_3_OUT*, ROW _2_ OUT* AND ROW_1_OUT) using data from the
data bus generate the row pulses.
The Control Panel buttons are read by using three column lines that enter the 6600 Controller PCB at P9 pins
6, 5 and 4 from the Control Panel. When you press a button on the control panel, pulses from the control panel
latch onto the data bus by latch U2 pins 17, 18 and 19. U2 is clocked by COL/SW_READ* from pal U5 pin 16.
Control Panel LED’s
The control-panel LED circuit on the 6600 Controller PCB drives the C-Arm Control Panel LED’s shown in FIG-
URE 3.
LED +5VDC from the 6600 Controller PCB supplies the LED’s. LED +5VDC exits the 6600 Controller PCB at
P-9 pin 11 and goes to the Control Panel. The lines from the LED’s enter the 6600 Controller PCB at P9 pins 7
through 15. You turn the LED’s on by providing a ground path from the LED’s through resistor pack R31 to U13
that acts as a current sink. U13 latches data from the data bus by using the LED_WRITE signal from pal U9
pin 17 to turn on each LED.
Serial Communications
The following acronyms are used as part of the signal names along with the designators used to specify the
channel, source, etc.
• TXD = Transmit Data - connected to RXD of receiving PCB.
• RXD = Receive Data - connected to TXD of sending PCB.
• RTS = Request To Send - connected to CTS of receiving PCB.
• CTS = Clear To Send - connected to RTS of sending PCB.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

6600 Controller PCB and Workstation Communications

Establish communication between the C-Arm and the Workstation during the boot process. During normal op-
eration, the 6600 Controller PCB and the 386 Motherboard send information such as:
• Shot log file information from the C-Arm to the Workstation
• KV, µA and exposure time to the Workstation’s left monitor for display during X-rays
• Horizontal Reverse and horizontal Normal image reversal
• Camera rotation position for icon display during camera rotation
• Video stable during X-rays to the Workstation
• Load EEPROM data from the Workstation software to the 6600 Controller PCB.

Communications from the 6600 Controller PCB to the 386 Motherboard

The TXD and RTS signals from the 6600 Controller PCB exit the micro controller U10 at pins 18 and 39. TXD
and RTS signals from U10 are level shifted from TTL to RS232 levels by U27, (Monitor TXD and RTS at TP21
and TP24) and exit the board at P8 pins 10 and 9. TXD and RTS pass through the A20P8 to J14 and A9P10 to
J12, J13 and J14 cable assemblies and enter the Workstation Aux. Interface PCB at P10 on pins 15 and 14.
TXD and RTS signals exit the Aux. Interface PCB at P14 pins 21 and 18 and go to the Communications PCB
P3 pins 21 and 18. They are inverted and returned to TTL levels by U15 and enter DUART U27 on pins 31 and
7 where they become RXD and CTS. U27 interfaces the signals to the data bus of the 386 Motherboard. Refer
to FIGURE 5 to see the communication path.
Communications from the 386 Motherboard to the 6600 Controller PCB
The 386 Motherboard communicates over the data bus to DUART U27 on the Communications PCB. TXD (pin
30) and RTS (pin 29) leave DUART U27 as TTL level signals, which go to U16, where the signals are level
shifted to RS232 levels. The TXD and RTS signals leave the Communications PCB at P3 pins 28 and 26. TXD
and RTS then enter the Aux. Interface PCB at P14 pins 28 and 26 and pass through the board and exit at P10
on pins 13 and 12. TXD and RTS from the Aux. Interface PCB go through the A9P10 to J12, J13, J14 and
A20P8 to J14 cable assemblies and enter the 6600 Controller PCB at connector P8 on pins 8 and 7. Monitor
the TXD and RXD signals, that originated from the Communications PCB, on the 6600 Controller PCB at TP22
(TXD) and TP18 (RXD). TXD and RXD signals are sent to U27 and shifted to TTL levels and are sent to micro
controller U10 at pins 17 and 44. Refer to FIGURE 5 to see the communication path.

Interlocks
The 6600 Controller PCB provides the interlock circuit to prevent the monoblock X-ray source from making ex-
posures in an uncontrollable condition. PS2 (+24 volts) supplies power to the monoblock X-ray source to pro-
duce the high voltage and the filament current. The function of the interlock circuit is to interrupt the +24 volts
going to the monoblock X-ray source in case a fault occurs in the X-ray system.

During Boot Up
1. Establish the high voltage interlock at the beginning of the boot process when you turn on the system
key switch. To understand this sequence utilize the High Voltage Interlock Circuit shown above.
2. As the voltages from PS2 come up and stabilize the +24 volts enters the 6600 Controller PCB at P13-
3. Monitor the +24 volts at TP42 on the 6600 Controller PCB.
3. The +24 volts passes through circuit breaker CB1 and line filter LF6 and leaves the 6600 Controller
PCB at P2 pins 4 and 5. The +24 volts also passes through the 6600 interconnect cable and enters
the monoblock X-ray source at J2 pins 4 and 5.
4. The +24 volts from J2-4 is applied to the normally open contacts of the relay located within the
monoblock X-ray source.
5. The +24 volts from J2-5 goes to the coil of the internal relay and exits the monoblock X-ray source
again at J2-6 and goes back through the 6600 interconnect cable to P2-6 of the 6600 Controller PCB
(HV interlock*). Monitor the state of HV Interlock* on the 6600 Controller PCB at TP31.
6. The HV interlock* signal at TP31 will stay at +24 volts for approximately 275 milliseconds before being
pulled to zero volts by amplifier U29.
7. During the 275 milliseconds that TP31 is held at +24 volts and during the boot process, the following
things occur:
· During the first 250 milliseconds the Window manager, U17, is loaded with data from serial prom
U18
· When the data from the serial prom has been loaded into the window manager the micro controller
U10 reset is released
· During the last 25 milliseconds that TP31 is held at +24 volts the contents of the boot prom U6 are
loaded into the micro controller U10 and the program begins to execute
· The program then switches the HV interlock* signal low using U29 as a current sink to energize the
internal relay in the monoblock X-ray source. The activation of the internal relay provides the power
to the high voltage and filament circuits.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

During Normal Operation

During normal operation, if the monoblock X-ray source reports an error through the status port on the 6600
Controller PCB, the HV interlock* signal is switched to +24 volts shutting off +24 volt power to the high voltage
and filament circuits in the monoblock X-ray source.
X-ray On
Generate X-ray exposures from either the handswitch or footswitch. The handswitch and footswitch are each
supplied with +5 volts (I_Source) and digital ground (X_Gnd) connections. The handswitch and footswitch each
contain a double switch that provides +5 volts and digital ground signals back to the 6600 Controller PCB
where they are optically coupled to the X-ray on circuit. Before the monoblock can produce X-rays the X-ray
hardware circuit and software checks must be correct.

TABLE 1 - X-ray Switch Logic Levels

X-ray On Signal
Make X-rays from either the handswitch or footswitch. When you press one of the X-ray switches the following
things happen:
• Both optical couplers U31 and U48 turn on causing the outputs at pins 6 and 7 of each device to go TTL
low. Monitor the output of the optical coupler U31 at TP26 and monitor the output of the optical coupler
U31 at TP27.
• The signal at TP26 (SWITCH NH) goes to the microprocessor U10 pin 8 where the software detects the
activation of one of the X-ray switches.
• The signal at TP27 (SWITCH NL) goes to U16, where it is latched onto the microprocessor data bus al-
lowing the software to detect the activation of one of the X-ray switches. The signal at TP27 (SWITCH
NL) also goes to a delay circuit consisting of CR20, R93, C98 and U47.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

• The X-ray on signal from the delay circuit goes to U28-12 (NOR gate input). The microprocessor U10 pin
26 goes to U28-11 (NOR gate input). When the software detects that an X-ray switch activation, U28-11
goes TTL low.
• With both inputs of U28 (pins 11 and 12) TTL low, the output of U28 goes TTL high. The inverted output
of U28 by U23 becomes the XRAY_ON_*. Monitor the XRAY_ON*_ signal at TP30 (XRAY ON).
• The XRAY_ON_* signal (TP30) exits the 6600 Controller PCB at P1-9 and continues through the 6600
interconnect cable to the monoblock X-ray source at J1-9.
• The XRAY_ON_* signal (TP30) also goes to amplifier U30, buffered, and leaves the 6600 Controller PCB
at P8-12 to turn on the X-ray on indicator lamp above the left monitor. The XRAY_ON_* signal goes from
P8-12 to P14-12 and into the Aux. Interface PCB at P10-18 in the Workstation electronics box. On the
Aux. Interface PCB the XRAY_ON_* signal becomes X-RAY LAMP*. Monitor the X-Ray LAMP* at TP13.
X-RAY LAMP* is inverted by U1 that drives the transistor switch Q1. Q1 provides a ground path to turn
on LED array DS2 that is supplied with +5 volts from PS1.
• Releasing the X-ray switch before an adequate amount of exposure necessary to create a stable image
by the workstation, the software on the 6600 Controller PCB will momentarily delay shutting off X-rays.
This delay typically lasts for no more than 1 or 2 seconds. This will happen if you hold down the X-ray
switch for less than 2 seconds.
• Releasing the X-ray switch after the system has produced a stable image will immediately terminate X-
rays.

The delay circuit holds U28-12 TTL low while pressing the X-ray switch and for approximately 3 seconds after
releasing the X-ray switch. The signal at U28-11, from the microprocessor, always goes TTL high to shut off X-
rays before the delay circuit times out and goes TTL high after releasing the X-ray switch. If for some reason
the software did not respond to the X-ray switch being released by placing a TTL high signal on U28-11, the
delay circuit would terminate X-rays by switching U28-12 to TTL high.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

X-ray Inhibit
Under certain conditions X-rays will terminate while in progress by the Workstation.
The following discussions on the function of the X-ray inhibit signal will be easier to understand while referring
to the following schematics.

NOTE:
Refer to Table 2 for signal logic levels while reading the following theory.
Disable From Workstation GSP (Graphics Signal Processor)
If there is no camera sync the Workstation GSP has the ability to disable X-rays. Camera video/sync enters the
Workstation through the Aux. Interface PCB to TP10 of the Video Switching PCB. The camera video/sync sig-
nal travels through the Video Switching PCB MUX U13 pins 5 and 20 to sync stripper U6-2. The camera sync
signal out of the sync stripper U6-1 becomes SEPINCSY and is applied to flip-flops U38 pins 9 and 5 and U28
pins 2 and 13 on the Video Switching PCB. The output of flip-flop U28-13, SYNCDET, will be a logic high if
camera sync is present and a logic low if camera sync is not present.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

The Image Processor PCB GSP monitors the SYNCDET through PIO U3-18. The GSP will now enable or dis-
able X-rays depending on the logic level of the SYNCDET signal. The GSP accomplishes this by generating a
serial control word, VMDAT, out of the Image Processor PIO U3-14. The control word, VMDAT, is then applied
to the serial to parallel shift register U33-14 (TP35) on the Video Switching PCB. Shift register U33-1 is the out-
put bit that represents the SYNCDET logic level and is buffered through ‘AND’ gate U42 pins 4, 5 and 6 on the
Video Switching PCB.
The output of U42-6 becomes XRAYDIS and is applied to the Aux. Interface PCB ‘NAND’ gate U5-13 through
inverter U1 pins 13 and 12. The other input to ‘NAND’ gate U5-12 is the output of the door interlock circuit (See
topic DISABLE FROM WORKSTATION ROOM INTERFACE for additional information). The output of NAND
gate U5-11 becomes the XRAYINH signal, measured on TP14 of the Aux. Interface PCB.
XRAYINH enters the 6600 Controller PCB at P8-3 where is can be monitored at TP16. XRAYINH travels to the
micro controller at U10-9. The software running the 6600 Controller PCB monitors the XRYDISBL. To enable X-
rays XRYDISBL must be low. To disable X-rays XRYDISBL must be high.
Disable From Workstation Room Interface
The Workstation will allow a room interface, such as a door interlock, to disable X-rays. The input from the
room interface is applied to ‘NAND’ gate U5-12 through inverter U1 pins 9 and 8, U1 pins 5 and 6 and U1 pins
1 and 2 on the Aux. Interface PCB. Jumper E1 configures the inverter circuit U1 to accommodate either a low
or a high input.
The output of ‘NAND’ gate U5-11 becomes the XRAYINH signal as described previously. (See the topic
DISABLE FROM WORKSTATION GSP for more information).
Disable From CCD Camera
The absence of the CCD Camera’s composite video output will also disable X-rays. The composite video from
the CCD Camera enters the 6600 Controller PCB at COAX Connector P4. You can monitor the composite
video at TP28. The composite video travels to U39 pin 2 and exits U39 pin 1 as signal HDRV and pin 3 as
VSYNC. Monitor the HDRV signal TP48. Monitor the VSYNC signal at TP49.
From U39 pin1 the HDRV signal enters U17 pin 52 and VSYNC enters U17 pin 3. These two signals provide
timing for the WIN_INTR signal. The WIN_INTR signal exits U17 pin 21. Monitor the WIN_INTR signal at TP3.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

From U17 pin 21 the WIN_INTR signal travels to micro controller U10 pin 15. If the software running the 6600
Controller PCB detects a low WIN_INTR signal the XRAYINH signal goes high and disables X-rays.

MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

Workstation Control Lines

The three signals described in this section: VIDSTAB*, STORE* and FLUORO* are control signals from the C-
Arm to the Workstation. The 6600 system currently ignores the FLUORO* signal. The 6600 Controller PCB
data bus generates all three signals through Latch U11. And routes them onto the Aux. Interface PCB through
connector P10. All three signals exit the Aux. Interface PCB through Connector P14 to the Communications
PCB Connector P3 and terminate at the inputs of Latch U14. The STORE* line is also routed from the Aux. In-
terface PCB, as the XRAYON line, through connector P9 to Video Switching PCB Connector J8. U42 inverts
the line on the Video Switching PCB to become the XRAY_ON line to Image Processor PCB PIO #2 U3.
Video Stable
VIDSTAB*: This control signal to the workstation tells software that video has stabilized and processing of the
image can begin. Before generating this signal no image processing is allowed. For One-Shot, the VIDSTAB*
indicates the start of averaging to the image. VIDSTAB* is TTL Hi while the exposure technique servo’s to get
the proper WIN_AVG signal voltage. When WIN_AVG reaches the proper voltage, VIDSTAB* is set TTL Low.
Store
STORE*: This signal notifies software that there is live video on the video input line from the camera and di-
rects software to start acquiring the image. Terminating X-rays sets the STORE* line TTL Hi. Initiating X-rays
sets the STORE* line TTL Low.
Fluoro
FLUORO: The 6600 system does not implement this signal. It directs the system to go to Fluoro-Only mode,
regardless of the present system operating mode.
A/D Input
The micro controller U10 on the 6600 Controller PCB contains a 6 input analog to digital converter located at
port 0. U10 uses a +5.00 volt reference voltage supplied by voltage reference VR1, voltage divider R75 and
R78 and op amp U43. +5.00 volt reference enters U10 at pin 13.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

KV Monitor
KV Monitor leaves the X-ray source at P1-4 and goes through the 6600 Interconnect cable to the 6600 Control-
ler PCB. KV Monitor enters the 6600 Controller PCB at P1-4 and sends it through a 2:1 voltage divider R51
and R47 and buffer amplifier U36. Measure the kV Monitor voltage at TP34. KV Monitor enters U10 at pin 6
(Analog to digital input 0).
µA Monitor
Micro amp Monitor leaves the X-ray source at P1-5 and goes through the 6600 Interconnect cable to the 6600
Controller PCB. Micro amp Monitor enters the 6600 Controller PCB at P1-5 and sends it through a 2:1 voltage
divider R49 and R50 and buffer amplifier U36. Measure the micro amp Monitor voltage at TP33. Micro amp
Monitor enters U10 at pin 5 (Analog to digital input 1).
Camera Position
A potentiometer located in the camera lens assembly senses the camera position. VR1, U43 and U38 on the
6600 Controller PCB provides the reference voltage to the camera position potentiometer. The reference volt-
age leaves the 6600 Controller PCB at P3-1 and goes through the 6600 Interconnect cable to P1-1 on the
Camera Assembly. The reference voltage goes to one side of the potentiometer in the lens assembly. The other
side of the potentiometer is connected to ground at the 6600 Controller PCB. The camera position voltage from
the potentiometer wiper leaves the camera assembly on P1-2 and goes back through the 6600 Interconnect
cable to P3-2 of the 6600 Controller PCB. U40 buffers the camera position voltage where it enters U10 at pin 7
(Analog to digital input 2). When requesting camera rotation or horizontal image reversal, the displayed camera
position will appear on the left monitor for several seconds.
Peak Video Level
The peak video level signal comes from the camera lens video signal. Camera lens video leaves the CCD cam-
era at the W6 connection and exits the camera assembly at mini coax connector P3. The camera lens video
signal goes through the 6600 Interconnect cable and enters the 6600 Controller PCB at coax connector P5.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

Monitor the camera lens video signal on the 6600 Controller PCB at TP29. The camera lens video signal runs
through a DC restoration circuit (U45) to restore the DC content of the signal so that the peak video level infor-
mation can be extracted.
U44 amplifies the restored lens video signal. Monitor the restored video signal at TP45. U37 buffers the re-
stored video signal. The restored video signal travels to the analog switch U42. It is switched on and off by the
window manager U17-23 to create a sample window. The video signal passing through U42 goes to peak de-
tector C71. The peak detector holds the peak video level that is buffered by U37 and produces a peak video
level voltage. The peak video level signal enters U10 at pin 11 (Analog to digital input 4), and can be monitored
at TP36. The peak detector is reset after each video field by the analog switch U42. U42 is switched on and off
by the window manager U17 pin 16.
Average Video Level
The average video level signal comes from the camera lens video signal. Camera lens video leaves the CCD
camera at the W6 connection and exits the camera assembly at mini coax connector P3. The camera lens
video signal goes through the 6600 Interconnect cable and enters the 6600 Controller PCB at coax connector
P5. Monitor the camera lens video signal on the 6600 Controller PCB at TP29. The camera lens video signal
runs through a DC restoration circuit (U45) to restore the DC content of the signal so that the average video in-
formation can be extracted. U44 amplifies the DC restored lens video. Monitor the restored video signal at
TP45. The restored video signal goes to an analog switch U42 that is switched on and off by the window man-
ager U17-23 to create a sample window. The video signal passing through U42 runs through a low pass filter
R80 and C89 that produces an average video level voltage. The average video level, buffered by U44, enters
U10 at pin 10 (Analog to digital input 5), and can be monitored at TP45.

D/A Output
The 6600 Controller PCB contains a four channel digital to analog converter U19. U19 uses a -10.00 volt refer-
ence that supplies reference VR1, voltage divider R62 and R54 and op amp U41. Measure the -10.00 volt ref-
erence voltage at TP43. U19 uses data from EEPROM U8 to provide proper kV and µA drive voltages to the X-
ray source.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Control

KV Drive
U19 channel A supplies U32 (current to voltage converter) the kV Drive voltage for the X-ray source. Monitor
the kV Drive voltage at TP25. The scale factor for kV Drive at TP25 is 100 millivolts per 1 kV. The kV drive volt-
age exits the 6600 Controller PCB at P1-1 and goes through the 6600 Interconnect cable to J1-1 at the X-ray
source.
µA Drive
U19 channel B supplies U35 (current to voltage converter) the micro amp drive voltage for the X-ray source.
Monitor the microamp drive voltage at TP15. The scale factor for micro amp drive at TP15 is 50 millivolts per 1
microamp. The microamp drive voltage exits the 6600 Controller PCB at P1-2 and goes through the 6600 Inter-
connect cable to J-12 at the X-ray source.
Status LED
The status LED’s DS1 and DS2 are on the 6600 Controller PCB to provide I/O status information to aid service
personnel in isolating problems in the MINI6600 system. DS1 and DS2 are located on the upper left-hand cor-
ner of the PCB just below the S1 diagnostic switch. Bit 0 through bit 15 information displayed on DS1 and DS2
is controlled by the switch setting of S1. The bottom 4 segments of DS2 indicate the presence of power supply
voltages. In some S1 switch settings bit 0 through 7 and 8 through 15 will each represent 8 bits of diagnostic
status information. In other switch settings’ bits 0 through 9 will represent 10 bits of status information. See
Diagnostic Switch S1 for more information.

Audio Alarm
An audio alarm resides on the inside of the EMI shield that covers the 6600 Controller PCB. The audio alarm is
driven by U10 micro controller pin 28 (beep), that goes to driver chip U25 pin 15 and to inverter U23 then to
U25 pin 10. The audio alarm signal exits U25 at pins 14 and 11 and exits the board at P12 pins 2 and 1 to the
audio alarm.
Camera Rotation
The camera rotation circuit is driven by U10 micro controller pins 35 (CAM_ROT) and 34 (CAM_DIR).
CAM_ROT goes to U30 pin 9 to turn on and off the camera rotation motor. CAM_DIR goes to U30 pin 15 and
to inverter U23 then to U30 pin 10 to provide motor direction control for the camera rotation motor. Drive sig-
nals (motor +) and (motor -) exit the 6600 Controller PCB at P3 pins 4 and 5 and go through the interconnect
cable to P1 pins 5 and 4 on the camera assembly. Motor drive signals go from P1 pins 5 and 4 directly to the
camera rotation motor.

AEC Control
During X-rays in the Auto Mode, Automatic Exposure Control uses the Average Video Level signal to control
the X-ray technique. At the beginning of exposures made in the Auto Mode, the software monitors the
WIN_AVG signal. When the WIN_AVG signal reaches the proper voltage level the technique will stop changing.
This will set the Image stable line low. The X-ray technique is increased or decreased as shown in the following
tables.

The four-inch slide interrupts LED Switch 00-879399 generating the logic low signal Mode Sense. This signal
travels to J1 pin 9 on the X-Ray Source, A21. It passes through the X-Ray source without interference and ex-
its the X-Ray source at J2, pin 9. The Mode Sense signal then enters the Micro Controller A20 at J2, pin 9. The
Mode Sense signal goes to a logic high on the Micro Controller PCB and exits as signal M2 at J15, pin 4. The
M2 signal enters the II Power Supply A22 at CN1, pin 5 and activates the 4-inch mode.
In addition, on the upper right corner of the left monitor “Norm” or “MAG” will display to indicate the II mode.

C-ARM SOFTWARE

OVERVIEW
The 6600 Controller is a single 80C196-based PCB located on the lower right hand side of the Workstation.
The board communicates with the Workstation and controls various functions associated with the X-ray gen-
erator. These functions include: X-ray tones, error monitoring and alarms, technique control (both automatic
and manual), camera rotation, and scanning of the generator control buttons and generator function LEDs. The
Controller also stores the current default values. These control value variables include the 9.5/10 minute alarm
enable, the tone enable, 60/50 Hz AEC window, and tone frequency.

LOAD 6600 EEPROM

The EEPROM (U8) contains default and custom-selected parameters for AEC tables, timer, alarm and tone
information necessary for configuring the system on each boot-up.
If you replace the EEPROM on the 6600 Controller PCB or you upgrade the software, you then must load it
from a file on the system hard drive. The EEPROM is checked against a calculated checksum for integrity by
software at each successive boot-up.
To load the EEPROM, use the OEC Service Disk, and press the SETUP OPTIONS key on the workstation
keyboard, then use the cursor control keys to highlight Access Level 2 (Service), and press ENTER. Select
Load 6600 EEPROM.
When you load the EEPROM, you must access the menu shown in the following section (Generator Configura-
tion), as described, to set the configuration and prevent display of an EEPROM error during the first X-ray
exposure.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Software

PRESS <ENTER> TO RETURN TO MAIN MENU
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Software

NOTE:
Selection of a number from the above menu causes a tone to sound. If you press other numbers from
the menu in succession, the tone will vary in frequency with each selection. Press ENTER when you
locate the desired tone. The frequency of the selected tone is displayed under item d of the main menu.

ChkSum: These three values are various calculations of the EEPROM checksum and are
checked by the system while X-rays are being generated.

ChkPts: Check points are unique values written at the start and end of the AEC tables.
Software uses these values as well as the checksum to ensure that the AEC tables
loaded correctly. In addition, these values are checked periodically to determine
whether the AEC tables have been changed.

Camera
Rotation: Camera rotation numbers displayed below item <d.> of the main menu are read from
an internal pot and correspond to degrees of rotation by the camera.

Debug: This data reflects the action of the servo and is not for field service use.

Startup And Software Boot

The MINI6600 system performs tests on system integrity during boot-up and also during normal execution of
the software. Perform the tests as detailed below:
Power ON Self-Test

At boot-up, the processor stays in reset until the power supplies stabilize, the Window Manager initializes and
then the processor reset releases and the software loads from the boot PROM. At this time, the following integ-
rity checks are executed:
1. Processor and memory integrity are checked through the verification and execution of key interrupt
service routines and the main loop, coupled with the triggering of the watchdog circuit.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - C-Arm Software

2. Proper loading of the AEC circuit is checked by the code before the AEC Window programming. Load-
ing problems will result in an alarm and error display.

3. Check footswitch to ensure that it remains opened during boot-up. Incorrect position of the footswitch
will result in an alarm and error display.

4. The integrity of the EEPROM, that holds the technique table, is checked by Checksum. If an error is
detected, an alarm will sound and an error message will be displayed and X-rays will be prevented.

Normal Operation

1. Status of the monoblock X-ray source is constantly monitored. An error condition develops if X-rays
should be on or off and will produce an alarm and error display.

2. Integrity of the EEPROM that holds the technique table is checked for checksum and position in
memory each time you request X-rays. If the EEPROM contents are not found intact, X-rays are inhib-
ited and an alarm and error message is displayed.

potentiometer. The CCD camera mounts to the lens assembly and rotated by the motor. The following signals
connect between the lens assembly and P3 of the Microcontroller PCB:
Signal Color P1-pin
VREF BLK 1
POS WHT 2
AGND RED 3
MOTOR- ORANGE 4
MOTOR+ BROWN 5

VREF and POS return a voltage proportional to the camera angular position. MOTOR+ and MOTOR- drive the
camera rotation motor.
Cable assembly 878575 gathers the connections from the lens assembly and the +12VDC camera power sup-
ply to a 9-pin D-connector (P1).

CCD CAMERA
The camera is a Cohu board-level CCD camera that attaches to the lens assembly. The lens assembly pro-
vides the optics and camera rotation function for the camera. The +12 VDC feeds to the camera through P1 pin
6 (+12V) and pin 7 (RTN).
Connector P1 gathers signals and power lines from the Lens Assembly and Camera and connects them via
the Interconnect Cable to P3 (Power/Control) on the Microcontroller PCB.
A crystal within the camera provides the video sync.
For operating details on the camera rotation, camera position sense, and peak/average video level sense, refer
to the C-Arm Control section.

WORKSTATION CONTROL

OVERVIEW
This section describes the circuit boards and components controlling the MINI6600.
The Control Panel Processor PCB serves as an input/display interface for the control panel used by the
system operator.
When a switch closes at the control panel, the Control Panel Processor encodes it and the Control Panel
Processor sends this information to the 6600 Controller PCB, A28. The 6600 Controller responds to this
by sending the data back to the Control Panel Processor to illuminate the associated LED. The 6600 Con-
troller PCB also communicates over a digital bus to the Aux. Interface PCB.
The information given in this section is easier to understand while referring to the following schematics.
Component layout drawings for all PCBs are in the Appendix.

CONTROL PANEL
Software on the Control Panel
Processor PCB continuously scans the
MINI6600 control panel keypads to
determine if any keys have been
pressed. Each key is identified by a
row number and a column number and
is encoded as a hex value. When you
press a key the hex value travels to the
Communications PCB and 386
Motherboard. The English version is
shown below. The International version
of this control panel is shown in
FIGURE 3 for reference.
The Manual/Auto Brightness and
Contrast buttons, Negate, VCR Record/
Play and Save buttons, indicated by
shading, refer to the Workstation
controls and are read by the Control
Panel Processor PCB. The remaining
buttons refer to C-Arm controls and are
read by the 6600 Controller PCB.

Control Panel Processor PCB

NOTE:
Refer to schematic # 00-876611.

Microprocessor
U5 is an 80C196KC microcontroller running at 12 MHz using crystal oscillator Y1. DS1 indicates that the
EPROM code is being executed by blinking at two different rates: 200ms if waiting for communications to
be established, and 530ms after communication has been established.
U24 and the associated circuits create an external watchdog circuit that must see a falling edge every 150
ms or less. If the falling edge is not detected at pin 7, U24 will time out and generate a reset to the micro-
controller and PAL U4.
The Reset* signal goes low for 250 ms to generate a reset. U24 also monitors the power supply voltage. It
will hold the RESET output pin low whenever VCC is below 4.65 volts (typically).
LS1 is a tone generator driven by U13 to indicate when X-rays are being produced and to indicate other
key closures.
E1 - configuration jumper is not currently used.

Memory and Addressing

When microprocessor U5 boots, it reads and executes code contained in boot EPROM U10.
Port 3 of microprocessor U5 is a multiplexed address/data bus. The address is driven on the bus on the
rising edge of ALE (address latch enable, U5-62). U2 latches the low address byte on the falling edge of
ALE. Port 4 exists for wide bus address decoding by connecting U5-64 to U4-15 (Wide Bus Sel.).
U4 is used for other chip select signals for address decoding.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Control

Controls and Display Interface

U2 is the keyboard-input latch. U15 is the keyboard output latch. These devices accomplish the row/col-
umn decoding for key closure detection.
U12, U16, U17 and U19 are octal latches used to sink the LED currents. Writing a “0” to the appropriate
bit illuminates an LED.
P4, P5 and P6 connect to the left and right control panels respectively for the left and right keypad matri-
ces, and LEDs.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Control

Relays’ K1-K4 provide the interface for the “X-ray On Light” and “Room In Use Light”. Call the OEC Tech
Support office for more information.

X-ray on LED Array Driver

The LED array on top of the Workstation illuminates when X-rays are being produced.
The X-RAY LAMP signal from the Power/Motor Relay PCB on the C-Arm travels to the Aux. Interface PCB
via the interconnect cable.
The X-RAY LAMP signal (active Low) enters inverter U1 pin 3 on the Aux. Interface PCB. The output at U1
pin 4 (active HI) turns on Q1 and provides a return path for the LED array current.
The array is powered by +5Vand is jumpered through E3 pins 2 and 3.

WARNING:
Damage to the LED array will occur if E3 pins 1 to 2 are jumpered together.

Boot and Diagnostic LEDs

MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Control

Communications PCB

NOTE:
Refer to schematic #00-872125.

The Communications PCB provides serial and parallel communications capability for the Motherboard with
external devices, such as a printer. The Communications PCB handles the internal system communica-
tions occurring between the Control Panel Processor PCB and the C-Arm. The circuit board plugs directly
into the Motherboard.

Serial Communications
The AT Communications PCB handles all of the serial communications for the Motherboard to the Work-
station Control Panel Processor PCB and the C-Arm.

Motherboard to Control Panel Processor

DUART U27 on the Communications PCB receives signals from the 386 Motherboard via the data bus.
U27 converts this information to RS232 serial data. The serial data then passes through the Aux. Interface
PCB, through RS232 transceiver U7 on the Control Panel Processor and to microcontroller U5.
Microcontroller U5 on the Control Panel Processor PCB communicates over the same path to the
Motherboard.
UART U26 on the Motherboard handles discrete signals for the room interface relays on the Aux. Interface
PCB if operational.

386 Motherboard to C-Arm

Communication between the C-Arm and Workstation is established during the boot process.
During normal operation, the 386 Motherboard sends information such as:
• Shot log file information from the C-Arm to the Workstation
• Commands such as L>R, and SAVE from the Control Panel to the Workstation.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Control

The TXD and RTS signals from Port B of the serial communications controller U39 on the Microcontroller
PCB are sent to the Workstation 386 Motherboard. They pass through RS232 driver/receiver U52 on the
Microcontroller PCB and then pass through the Mainframe Motherboard and enter the Aux. Interface PCB
in the Workstation. They pass through the Aux. Interface PCB to the AT Communications PCB where they
are inverted by U15 and enter DUART U27. U27 interfaces the signals to the data bus of the 386
Motherboard.
The 386 Motherboard communicates over the data bus to DUART U27 on the Communications PCB.
TXDA (pin 30) and RTS (pin 29) leave DUART U27, pass through RS232 line driver U16 and leave the
Communications PCB at P3. They then pass through the Aux. Interface PCB, and enter the C-Arm at J1
on the Power Panel.

VCR Controls
Control signals for the VCRs interface to the 386 Motherboard via the Communications PCB at P3.

Parallel Printer Interface

The port for a parallel printer interfaces through the Communications PCB at connector P4.

COM1 and COM2 Ports

COM1 and COM2 communication ports are currently not used on the Mini6600 system.

Option Prom
Option PROM U25 on the Communications PCB is accessed by the 386 Motherboard during the boot
process for information such as:
• CGA graphics driver software
• CMOS setup
• OEC software signature stamp, if a diskette is found in the 3 1/2-inch floppy drive.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Control

Clock
Oscillator Y1 and counter U36 provide clock signals for DUARTS U26 and U27 (3.6864 MHz), UARTS U22
and U20 (1.8432 MHz), and the boot and diagnostic LEDs (230.4 kHz) on the Aux. Interface PCB.

Jumpers E1, E2, E3

Jumpers E1, E2, and E3 on the Communications PCB configure the system for the IDE (Integrated Device
Electronics) hard drive disk installed in the Workstation.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Control

386 Motherboard
The System 386 Motherboard contains the main system microprocessor. It communicates with the follow-
ing circuit boards:
• 6600 Controller PCB
• Communications PCB.
These interface boards plug directly into the connectors on the Motherboard.

Workstation Software
OVERVIEW
Software files for the Workstation reside on a hard disk located within the electronics box in the Workstation.
This section discusses the following Workstation software topics:
• Start-up and Software Boot
• Boot and Error Codes
• Diagnostics

START-UP AND SOFTWARE BOOT

Power-ON Self Test
When you apply power to the system, the system 386 Motherboard performs Power-On Self Tests (POST). If
the Post’s are successful, the 386 Motherboard continues through the boot process. LED readouts on the rear
panel of the Workstation indicate the status of the boot process. Details of the Boot Sequence and Error Codes
appear in this section. If the boot sequence stops, note the readout and refer to the boot sequence and error
code’s section for references to possible reasons and locations of the fault.
Text similar to the following example displays on the left monitor during boot-up:

(c) American Megatrends, Inc.

MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Software

Workstation Boot Sequence

The following procedure describes the Workstation boot sequence that occurs at Workstation power up:
1. The 386 Processor resets and loads AMI BIOSTM software. BIOSTM identifies any Option ROMs and
finds the OEC Option PROM on the AT Communications PCB. The date and version of the Option
PROM are displayed briefly on the left monitor

2. The CGA video drivers, loaded from the Option PROM and the floppy drive, are checked (for the pres-
ence of a system boot disk) by the Option PROM

3. The AMI BIOSTM copyright information is displayed briefly on the monitor. (AMI BIOSTM controls infor-
mation that tells the CPU how and when to access the disk, read the keyboard, load video drivers and
run video screens, etc.)

4. Workstation performs Power On Self Tests (POST). If all internal motherboard diagnostics pass, the
boot sequence continues. If failures occur, the boot sequence stops at the point of failure and an error
message appears on the monitor

5. The AT Communications PCB initializes the Image Processor

6. The Image Processor’s GSP (Graphics System Processor) software loads. Both monitors go blank at
this point

7. Front panel communications are enabled. An audible tone emminates from speaker SP1 when this
phase of boot up is complete

8. The Workstation software begins running. The initial Workstation serial number screen displays on the
right monitor when the boot up process is complete.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Software

BOOT AND ERROR CODES

This section contains a listing of the checkpoint codes written to the two character display on the Mini 6600
Workstation’s rear panel.
During the boot process, the alphanumeric LEDs on the rear panel displays two digit codes that indicate the
status of the boot sequence. Since these codes do not normally indicate an error, they are referred to as
progress codes. Typically, these codes give way to an E0 code once normal program operation has begun. If
the program does not complete the boot process, a code will remain on the LED display, indicating the point
where an error occurred. A description of these codes follows.

DOS Runtime Errors

Runtime errors cause the program to display an error message and terminate. Error messages display in the
Status Bar, located on the right Workstation monitor, as shown.
System Error nnn at xxxx:yyyy
Where nnn is the runtime error number and xxxx:yyyy is the runtime address (segment and offset). The
runtime errors divide into four categories:
• DOS errors 1 - 99
• I/O errors 100 - 149
• Critical errors 150 - 199
• Fatal errors 200 - 255

Note:
In this context, a critical error will cause the current operation to stop or abort. A fatal error will abort
the application.
Runtime Errors that are the most likely to occur in the Workstation appear in the following tables:

DOS Errors
Code Description Possible Causes
2 File not found Possible corrupted file on the disk
Also caused by incorrectly loaded or missing HELP files.
3 Path not found Possible corrupted file on the disk
4 Too many open files Not enough memory to open file

250 thru 252 Communication error Workstation control panel PCB or cable fault
253* Communications error See below
254 thru 260 Communications error Workstation control panel PCB or cable fault
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Software

*Error 253 occurs when the system does not boot fully and displays the “system error #253” message. This
message associates with a loss of serial communication.
If an error message, such as “system error 253 at 0000:01F0” displays, the numbers indicate the memory
location where software detected the error. Record the error message, including the address, in the error
report to OEC. This is helpful information necessary for OEC to diagnose the problem.

RAM Test
Execute the RAM test by simultaneously pressing and releasing both the CTRL and CUSTOMIZE keys on the
QWERTY panel. The RAM Test verifies that the RAM is functional between address 0X8000 and 0XEFFF. It
also verifies that the RAM is not accessible from 0XF000 to 0XFFFF, which are decoded as I/O addresses. The
RAM test takes approximately 1 second, during which time LEDs 8 and 9 on the diagnostic display will indicate
test activity.
If the RAM test is successful, the pattern below will appear on the diagnostic LED display.

Note:
LED segment 9 will be blinking.

If the RAM test fails, the pattern below will appear on the diagnostic LED display and the pattern will blink
(along with segment #9).

AUXILIARY INTERFACE PCB

The purpose of the Auxiliary Interface PCB is to distribute the control and video signals to various loca-
tions within the electronic box in the Workstation.
Camera video enters the Workstation from the A20 to J13 C-Arm cable assembly. The cable assembly is
part of the 6600 Controller PCB. The video signal enters the Workstation electronics box at J13. The video
signal enters the Auxiliary Interface PCB at connector P10 on pin 1 and exits on coax connector J1. The
video signal goes to J6 on the Video Switching PCB.

VIDEO SWITCHING PCB

The purpose of the Video Switching PCB is to route video signals to various locations in the Workstation.
Video signals travel to the VCR and Thermal Printer. The routing is accomplished by an 8 input, 6 output,
crosspoint switch matrix on the Video Switching PCB. The Image Processor PCB controls this serial to
parallel routing. The Video Switching PCB also contains a video clamp, log amplifier, anti-alias filter and
genlock circuits. Refer to the Video Control topic in this section for more information.
The video signal enters the Video Switching PCB at J6 and buffered by U4 and runs through a DC resto-
ration clamp (U7) to restore the video sync tips to ground. Monitor the video at TP10. The video signal
travels to the video switching matrix to MUX chip U13 IN0 (pin 5). The video signal leaves U13 at VOUT
(pin 20). The video signal runs through another DC restoration clamp and buffered by U15. Monitor the
video signal at TP16 (A/D VIDEO).
The video signal travels back to the video switching matrix where it bypasses the logarithmic amplifier
(U46 and U26). The video signal travels back to the video switching matrix where it may go to an anti-alias
filter (U25 and U24). The anti-alias filter limits the video signal to 5 MHz. Monitor the video signal from the
anti-alias filter circuit at TP18 (A/D VIDEO). The video signal leaves the Video Switching PCB at connector
J11 pin 5 and travels to the Image Processor PCB, P4 pin 5. See the Video Control topic in this section
for more information on video routing.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Imaging System

IMAGE PROCESSOR PCB

The Image Processor PCB contains a Graphic System Processor (GSP) which controls all Workstation
functions. The Image Processor PCB is multilayer and uses surface mount circuits. For this reason, factory
repair of the Image Processor PCB is recommended. Use system level diagnostics to determine the func-
tionality of the Image Processor PCB. See the Video Control topic in this section for more information.
The video signal enters the Image Processor PCB via connector P4 pin 5. Monitor the video signal at TP3
on the Image Processor PCB. The video signal travels to A/D converter U17 where each pixel is converted
to an 8 bit digital number. The workstation function selected determines the digital video signal process-
ing. Left and right digital video signals travel out of the Image Processor PCB as an 8 bit digital signal via
connector P8 to the Scan Converter PCB. Video to the VCR and Thermal Printer is analog video from the
D/A converters U2 and U16 in the Image Processor PCB and exit via P4 pin 9 that goes back to the Video
Switching PCB.

SCAN CONVERTER PCB

The Scan Converter PCB receives the left and right digital video data from the Image Processor PCB. The
digital video data is in the interlace scan format at a horizontal frequency of 15.750 kHz and a vertical fre-
quency of 60 Hz (domestic) or 50 Hz (international).
The Scan Converter PCB receives horizontal sync, vertical sync, odd and even field identification, and
pixel clock timing signals along with the left and right 8 bit video data from the Image Processor PCB. The
signals leave the Image Processor PCB at connector P9 and enter the Scan Converter PCB via J2.
The Scan Converter PCB converts the digital video signal from the interlace format to the progressive
scan format and converts the horizontal frequency to 37.8 kHz and the vertical frequency to 72 Hz (do-
mestic use) or 61 Hz (international use). The left and right digital video is then converted to an analog
video signal by D/A converters U20 and U21. Monitor the analog video signals from the D/A converters at
TP4 (left video) and TP1 (right video).
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Imaging System

The video signals exit the board at J5 (left video) and J4 (right video) and exit the Electronics Box at J8
(left video) and J7 (right video) to the Fast Scan Monitors. An additional left video output is available at J8
on the Scan Converter. Monitor the additional left video output at TP2. This video signal travels to J17
(FAST SCAN VIDEO) on the rear panel of the Workstation as an additional video output for an external
fast scan monitor.

COMMUNICATIONS PCB

See the Workstation Control section for information on this board.

Fast Scan Monitors

The Fast Scan monitors receive analog video signals from the Scan Converter PCB in progressive high
scan format for image display

PERIPHERALS

Analog interlace video goes to the VCR and thermal printer via the Video Switching PCB.

VCR
Video to and from the VCR travels through the Video Switching PCB. The video to the VCR can be un-
processed or processed and selected by the Workstation software.
VCR Output Video - The video leaves the VCR at the Video Out BNC connector. The video signal enters
the Workstation electronics box at BNC connector J1 located at the back of the electronics box in the up-
per left hand corner. The VCR video signal enters the Video Switching PCB at connector J4 on pin 3. A
DC Restoration clamp (Q2) restores the video sync tips to ground. Monitor the incoming VCR video at
TP13 (VCR1). The video signal travels to the video switching matrix to MUX chip U13, Input 0, (pin 5).
The video signal leaves U13 at VOUT (pin 20). The video signal runs through a DC restoration clamp and
buffered by U15. Monitor the video signal at TP16 (A/D VIDEO). The video signal travels back to the video
switching matrix and bypasses the logarithmic amplifier (U46 and U26). The switching matrix then directs
the signal to an anti-alias filter (U25 and U24).
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Imaging System

Monitor the video signal from the anti-alias filter circuit at TP18 (A/D VIDEO). The video signal leaves the
Video Switching PCB at connector J11 pin 5 and travels to the Image Processor PCB connector P4 pin 5.

THERMAL PRINTER
Video to the Thermal Printer comes from two different sources. The source depends on whether the
Fluoro X-rays are on or off.
X-ray Off Condition: In the X-ray off condition the video signal comes from the Image Processor PCB via
D/A converter U2. The video leaves the Image Processor PCB at P4 pin 9 and travels to J11 pin 9 on the
Video Switching PCB. The video signal runs through a DC Restoration Clamp (U17) to restore the video
sync tips to ground. Monitor the video at TP20 (LDAC) on the Video Switching PCB.
The video signal travels to the video switching matrix where it travels to MUX chip U8, INPUT 2, (pin 9).
The video signal leaves U8 at VOUT (pin 20). Amplifier U1 buffers the video signal from U8 and the video
signal then travels to connector J3 pin 9. Monitor the video signal at TP5 (HCO). The video signal exits the
front of the electronics box at BNC connector (located behind keyswitch). The video signal runs from J6 to
the Thermal Printer.
X-ray On Condition: In the X-ray on condition the CCD Camera supplies the video signal via the Video
Switching PCB (See FIGURE’s 5 and 6). The video signal enters the Video Switching PCB at J6, and is
buffered by U4 and runs through a DC Restoration Clamp (U7) to restore the video sync tips to ground.
Monitor the video signal at TP10.
The video signal travels to the video switching matrix where it travels to MUX chip U8, Input 0, (pin 5). The
video signal leaves U8 at VOUT (pin 20). Amplifier U1 buffers the video signal from U8 and the video sig-
nal then travels to connector J3 pin 9. Monitor the video signal at TP5 (HCO). The video signal exits the
front of the electronics box at (BNC connector) J6. The video signal runs from J6 to the Thermal Printer.

VIDEO CONTROL

IMAGE PROCESSOR PCB

The Image Processor controls all the Workstation image processing functions. The Image Processor PCB
contains a Graphic System Processor (GSP) driven by a 50 MHz clock. The GSP provides control signals
to the Video Switching PCB and the Scan Converter PCB. Because the Image Processor PCB is multi-
layer and uses surface mount circuits, repair of this board, apart from the factory, is not recommended.
Use the system based diagnostic test programs to determine the proper operation of the Image Processor
PCB.

A/D CONVERTER
The video signal enters the Image Processor PCB via connector P4 pin 5. Monitor the video signal at TP3
on the Image Processor PCB. The video signal travels to the A/D converter U17 where it is converted to
an 8 bit digital number. The digital video data travels to the scan converter section of the Image Processor
PCB.

SCAN CONVERTER
The Scan Converter section consists of a two video frame memory that receives the digital video data
from the A/D converter U17. The video data writes into one frame of memory at a time. When the first
frame of memory is full the video data writes into the second frame of memory. The first frame of video
data is read out to the Image Processor circuit while the second frame of video data is read in. By chang-
ing the way the video data is read out of the frame memory, the scan converter is able to provide the hori-
zontal image reversal control for the images displayed on the monitors and the peripherals.

D/A CONVERTERS
After the Image Processor circuit processes the video data, the left and right video data travels to the D/A
converters U2 (LVID) and U16 (RVID). The D/A converters convert the processed digital video data into an
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Imaging System

analog video signal. The VCR and Thermal Printer utilize the left video signal.
The left video signal exits the Image Processor PCB via P4 pin 9 where it goes to the Video Switching
PCB. The right video signal exits the Image Processor PCB via P4 pin 1 that also goes back to the Video
Switching PCB. The right video signal is not being used.

SCAN CONVERTER PCB INTERFACE

When the Image Processor circuit processes the video data the left and right video data travels to the
scan converter interface circuit. The scan converter interface buffers the left and right video data out of the
Image Processor PCB via connector P9 to the Scan Converter PCB.

PIO VIDEO CONTROL

The Image Processor PCB contains two PIO chips. PIO U4 provides internal control signals used within
the Image Processor PCB. PIO U3 provides external control signals for the Video Switching PCB and the
monitors input signals from the Video Switching PCB. The Image Processor creates a 24 bit serial data
output through PIO U3 to control the Video Switching PCB. The 24 bit serial data output from U3 to the
Video Switching PCB controls the following items:
• Video Crosspoint Switch
• Genlock
• Anti-Alias Filter
• Logarithmic Amplifier
• X-ray Disable.

MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Imaging System

VIDEO SWITCHING PCB

The Image Processor PCB controls the Video Switching PCB utilizing a 24 bit serial data control word.
Monitor the 24 bit serial control word (VMDATA) at TP35. VMDATA travels to the Video Switching PCB at
P6 pin 11. VMDATA goes into the first of three serial to parallel shift registers operating in cascade (U33 -
U35). VMDATA is clocked into the three serial to parallel converters by VM-DTCLK at pin 11 on each shift
register. Monitor VM-DTCLK at TP37. After the serial control word has been clocked into the shift regis-
ters, VM-LTCLK is applied to the each shift register at pin 12. Monitor VM-LTCLK at TP36. VM-LTCLK
latches the control word to the parallel output of the shift registers. The shift register outputs turn on and
off the control functions on the Video Switching PCB. Eighteen bits of the control word route the video sig-
nals in the crosspoint switch circuit. The remaining 6 bits turn on or off the following circuits:
• Logarithmic amplifier
• Anti-Alias Filter
• Genlock
• X-ray Disable
• 60/50 Hz Video.

VIDEO SWITCHING CONTROL

Each of the multiplexers (U8 -U13) in the crosspoint switch circuit has 8 video inputs with only one se-
lected at a time. The states of the address control inputs, A0 -A2, of these multiplexers control which video
input is selected. Each multiplexer amplifies the input video signal by an internal video amplifier and out-
put at pin 20. The amplifiers in the multiplexers have a gain of 2, allowing for the proper video termination
of each video output.

ANTI-ALIAS FILTER CONTROL

The anti-alias filter is designed to eliminate alias artifacts and prevent high frequency noise in the video
signal from being sampled by the A/D converter. R73, C57, C54, L9, C52, L10, C16, and R75 comprise
the anti-alias filter. The anti-alias filter is designed to pass frequencies to 5 MHz. The anti-alias filter is se-
lected in all modes.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Imaging System

GENLOCK CONTROL
The genlock circuit provides the timing synchronization between the Image Processor PCB and the in-
coming video signal from the CCD camera. The master sync source is the CCD camera. The genlock cir-
cuit synchronizes (slaves) the sync generator, U40, on the Video Switching PCB, to the CCD camera.
Phase comparator U44 compares the phase of the internally generated horizontal sync from U40, and
that of the incoming video signal from the CCD camera. The output of U44 goes through a low pass filter,
forming a control voltage on tuning diode CR1 that control’s the frequency of VCO U43. PAL U29 divides
the output of the VCO by ten. The signal travels to the OS2 input of the sync generator U40.
When an incoming video signal is present, under normal conditions, VCO U43 provides the clock for the
sync generator U40. When no CCD camera sync is present in the Video Switching PCB, sync detector
U28 sets PIO U3 pin 18 low on the Image Processor PCB to turn off the genlock circuit.
The Image Processor turns off the genlock circuit using the serial to parallel shift register U33 pin 2
(VMDATA bit 22). When U33 pin 2 is set low, PAL U29 removes the VCO clock signal from sync chip U40
and replaces it with a clock from Y1 (60 Hz operation) or Y2 (50 Hz operation). X-ray Disable (VMDATA bit
23) is also set HI and travels to the Generator to override all X-ray on commands.
Genlock adjustment occurs by turning C89 on the Video Switching PCB until LED’s DS1 and DS2 both il-
luminate equally. In this condition, the VCO output at TP33 should be running at approximately 25.8 MHz
and the voltage at TP38 (correction voltage) should be approximately 2.5 volts.

50/60 HZ VIDEO CONTROL

The system configuration in the Workstation software controls the 50/60 Hz video operation. The Worksta-
tion software sets the condition of the serial to parallel shift register U33 pin 3 (VMDATA bit 21). In the 60
Hz configuration U33 pin 3 is set low, in the 50 Hz configuration U33 pin 3 is set high. The signal from U33
pin 3 travels to the sync generator U40 pin 2 that sets the sync generator to run in the 50 Hz or the 60 Hz
mode. The signal from U33 pin 3 also travels to pal U29 pin 5 that enables either crystal Y1 for 60 Hz tim-
ing or crystal Y2 for 50 Hz timing. Y1 and Y2 are both disabled when the Genlock circuit is turned on. Only
in the stand-alone condition, when no camera video is present from the CCD camera, is timing from Y1 or
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Workstation Imaging System

Y2 enabled. The signal from U33 pin 3 also travels to the Image Processor PCB where it is utilized to con-
figure the scan converter circuit for 50 or 60 Hz operation.

SCAN CONVERTER PCB

SCAN CONVERTER TIMING CONTROL

The Scan Converter PCB receives the following timing signals from the Image Processor PCB:
• HDRV
• VDRV
• FIELD
• PIXCL.
These signals enter the Scan Converter PCB via connector J2 and travel to the timing generator U22 and
U24. The timing generator produces the address and control signals used by the Scan Converter PCB to
convert the digital video signal from the interlace format to the high rate progressive scan format.

VIDEO MEMORY
The Scan Converter receives the left and right digital interlaced video data from the Image Processor
PCB via connector J2. The digital interlaced video data goes into the left and right video memory. The digi-
tal, high rate, progressive scan video data is read out from the left and right video memory and is sent to
the left and right D/A converters U20 and U21.

VIDEO OUTPUT
D/A converters (U20 and U21) convert the high rate progressive scan video data into the left and right
analog video signals that travel to the Fast Scan monitors. Monitor the analog video signals from the D/A
converters at TP4 (left video) and TP1 (right video). The left and right video signals exit the board at J5
and J4 and travel out of the Electronics Box at J8 (left video) and J7 (right video) to the Fast Scan Moni-
tors.

Confirm Monitor Size & Linearity

1. Adjust the left and right monitors correctly by measuring the following size specification (refer to
figure 6):

• 5" (± 0.125) from the center to the horizontal & vertical edges.

NOTE:
With a curved CRT surface the measuring viewpoint must be perpendicular to the monitor screen.

2. Also verify the vertical linearity of the monitors by measuring the largest distance between the vertical
lines (A), and the smallest distance between the vertical lines (B). The distance should be approxi-
mately 1 inch between each line. Calculate the Linearity Error using the following formula:

A – B X 100%
A Linearity error must be less than 10%.

NOTE:
Proceed to the Camera Alignment portion of this procedure if the monitors are within specifications.
Continue to Step # 3 if the monitors are within specifications.

3. Remove the rear cover of the Workstation (8 screws) then slide the monitor cover off by pulling it
straight out to the rear of the unit.

Camera Alignment
WARNING:
This procedure produces X-rays. Take appropriate precautions.
NOTE:
Perform the Camera Alignment with the imaging chain in a vertical position. However, it does not
matter if the X-ray source or image intensifier is UP. Change the position, as necessary, to facilitate the
alignment.

1. To remove circular blanking from the video:

Enter Access Level 2

Select Video Calibration

Select Monitor/Camera Alignment.

2. Loosen the collimator set screw (refer to figure 4). Adjust the diameter of the X-ray field by turning the
threaded collimator clockwise or counterclockwise. Screw the collimator in so that the entire Image
Intensifier surface is visible when you take X-rays. If necessary, loosen the four nuts holding the colli-
mator base (figure 4) and position the assembly to remove any clipping of the image.
3. If clipping is still present or you have a misaligned image on the CRT, loosen the two screws holding
the Camera PCB to the C-mount of the Lens Assembly and change the position of the Camera PCB
(refer to figure’s 2 and 3). Access the two screws by arranging the Lens Assembly disk and the Cam-
era PCB disk such that the access holes align. Lightly tighten the two screws. This adjusts the align-
ment of the CCD sensor to the lens.
4. Install the beam alignment template on the Image Intensifier (refer to figure 8). Remove the 3 screws
(4 inch I.I.) or 4 screws (6 inch I.I.) securing the I.I. guard to the I.I. You may be able to use these same
screws to attach the beam alignment template to the I.I.
5. Take an X-ray in the AUTO mode. Observe the outside edges of the image in relation to the scale
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Procedures

generated by the beam alignment template. (Ignore the digitally generated rings and tick marks that
are part of the Monitor and Camera alignment pattern.)
6. Adjust the beam alignment template horizontally and/or vertically to center the image around the tem-
plate. Count the template tick marks to ensure exact centering of the image. To adjust the beam align-
ment template loosen the two thumb screws.

Figure 8 - Beam Alignment Tool, OEC P/N 00-879272

7. Rotate the camera to each of four angles (0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees) and place a felt-tip pen mark
at the center of the target for each angle. Mark the center of the pattern created by the four marks.
8. Loosen the three torx screws and one ground-lug torx on the Camera Mounting Ring that holds the
Lens and Camera assembly to the Image Intensifier (refer to figure’s 2 and 3). Shift the Lens and
Camera assembly position to center the bull’s-eye on the mark. Lightly tighten the screws and repeat
this step until the template’s bull’s-eye is on the center mark.
9. Rotate the camera throughout its range and verify less than 0.05 inch movement about the center of
the bull’s-eye. Estimate the movement using the 0.1 inch grid ticks on the beam alignment template. If
necessary, rotate the camera, mark the screen and readjust the camera mount.
10. Tighten all three camera mount screws and the ground screw and as you rotate the camera verify that
the bull’s-eye remains in one position on the screen.
11. Observe the template’s bull’s-eye with respect to the center of the digitally generated Monitor and
Camera alignment pattern crosshair. If incorrectly aligned, loosen the two Phillips-head screws that
hold the camera C-mount to the Camera PCB and shift the Camera PCB to center the template’s
bull’s-eye on the digital crosshair. Tighten the two Camera PCB screws.

1. (Four-inch I.I.) Loosen the four nuts holding the collimator base to the Monoblock and proceed to step
two.
(Six-inch I.I.) Remove the 4 inch slide collimator by (refer to figure 9):
a.) Remove bolt securing R1 to bracket
b.) Removing the four bolts securing the I.I. power supply to the monoblock
c.) Lift I.I. power supply off the monoblock assembly
d.) Loosen the slide collimator set screw
e.) Unscrew the slide collimator from the 6-inch collimator
f.) Secure I.I. power supply to the monoblock assembly.
2. Unscrew the collimator (counter-clockwise) until it produces an X-ray field as close as possible to the
size of circular blanking (inner-most ring on the Monitor and Camera alignment pattern figure 6).
3. Press ESC four times to leave the Monitor and Camera alignment mode and restore the circular
blanking.
4. Lightly tighten the collimator set screw. This is important to ensure accurate positioning.
5. Observe the position of the X-ray field with respect to the inner-most alignment pattern ring (circular
blanking). Adjust the collimator position to center the X-ray field around the ring.
6. Tighten the four collimator base nuts.
7. If necessary, repeat this process until you have centered the X-ray field on the inner-most Monitor and
Camera alignment ring and the field size matches the inner-most ring (with the collimator set screw
tightened).
8. Loosen the collimator set screw and screw the collimator in (clockwise) exactly three complete turns.
9. Lightly tighten the collimator set screw.
10. While making X-rays, rotate the camera from stop to stop. Verify that no image clipping occurs (e.g.,
collimator edge or phosphor showing in the image).
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Procedures

Beam / Collimator Alignment Verification (Short Method)

WARNING:
This procedure produces X-rays. Take appropriate precautions.
NOTE:
Perform the Beam Alignment with the imaging chain in a vertical position and the X-ray source UP.
1. Place a small identifier item (e.g., a dime) on the alignment tool near the top of the tool (nearest the
C). This provides an orientation reference for both the film and fluoro image.
2. Rotate the camera to place the template axis with the identifier at the top of the screen (refer to
figure 10).
3. Place a loaded film cassette into the alignment tool. Select ONE SHOT and one LED of averaging.
4. Expose and process the film and make a thermal print of the image (if applicable).

5. Compare the film image to the thermal printer image (if applicable) or the image on the monitor. There
should be ≤ 0.1 inch tick mark or one tick mark difference between the film and the thermal printer or
monitor images (refer to figure 11).
6. Adjust the collimator by loosening the set screw (refer to figure 4) and turn the collimator clockwise to
increase the size of the image or counter-clockwise to decrease the size of the image. Take another
film exposure to view the beam alignment accuracy.
7. The 6-inch I.I. systems will also require a 4-inch collimated film exposure. By adjusting the 6-inch colli-
mator the 4-inch collimator well be properly positioned when you:
a.) Remove the I.I. power supply from the monoblock assembly
b.) Screw the slide collimator onto the 6-inch collimator until it contacts the collimator blockand then
loosen until the slide collimator is parallel with the monoblock. Refer to figure 8 for collimator
location
c.) There are no size adjustments to the 4-inch collimator. However, there are positioning
adjustments. The collimator should be adjusted so that there is equidistance between the outer
edge of the image and the center of the beam alignment tool. Adjust the X axis and the Y axis to
center the field to the beam alignment tool.
d.) Place a loaded film cassette into the alignment tool. Select ONE SHOT and one LED of
averaging.
e.) Tighten slide collimator set screw.
8. Annotate the thermal print (if applicable) and radiographic film(s) with the system serial number,

Beam Alignment Verification (Long Method)

WARNING:
This procedure produces X-rays. Take appropriate precautions.
NOTES:
Perform the Beam Alignment with the imaging chain in a vertical position and the X-ray source UP.
When measuring film and images, estimate and record all values to the nearest 1/100th of an inch
(e.g., 1.73). When measuring film with a penumbra (a space of partial illumination around the outer
edge) measure to the center of the penumbra.
1. Place a small identifier item (e.g., a dime) on the alignment tool near the top of the tool (nearest the
C). This provides an orientation mark for the film and fluoro images.
2. Rotate the camera to place the template axis with the identifier at the top of the screen.
3. Place a loaded film cassette in the alignment tool. Select ONE SHOT and one LED of averaging.
4. Expose and process the film. Make a thermal print of the image and attach the print to the processed
film.
5. Record the film and left-monitor image X1, X2, Y1, and Y2. Note axis definitions in figure 12.

MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Procedures

6. Calculate and record the difference between film and image X1 and between film and image X2.
7. The collimator will need additional adjustment if the difference between the two values just calculated
is significant (>0.03 inch) about the circular blanking. Re-adjust the collimator position as described in
the previous steps.
8. Calculate and record the difference between film and image Y1 and between film and image Y2.
9. The collimator will need additional adjustment if the difference between the two values just calculated
is significant (>0.03 inch) about circular blanking. Re-adjust the collimator position as described in the
previous steps.
10. Calculate and record the sum of DIFF X1 and DIFF X2. Multiply that value by 1.1 (to obtain adjusted
X) and verify a result of less than or equal to 0.47 inch (3% SID). For internal OEC purposes, this
beam alignment procedure attempts to obtain a value of 0.29 inch (±0.03 inch).
11. Calculate and record the sum of DIFF Y1 and DIFF Y2. Multiply that value by 1.1 (to obtain adjusted Y)
and verify a result of less than or equal to 0.47 inch (3% SID). For internal OEC purposes, this beam
alignment procedure attempts to obtain a value of 0.29 inch (±0.03 inch).
12. Calculate the sum of the adjusted X and adjusted Y offsets and enter the values on the next page.

Set Camera Iris and Video Gain

WARNING:
This procedure produces X-rays. Take appropriate precautions.

NOTE:
A 1.5mm Allen wrench and a 1/16th-inch flat blade screwdriver are needed to adjust the camera iris
and video gain.
1. Install the X-ray tube cover.
2. Place one 1 mm copper filter over the Image Intensifier.
3. Take an AUTO-NORMAL X-ray and observe the technique displayed on the left monitor.
4. Adjust the camera iris (see figure 2) to obtain these tracking specifications:
(Any of the µA readings associated with 65 kV or 70 kV is acceptable).

TRACKING, 1 mm COPPER FILTER

FOUR INCH IMAGE INTENSIFIER 70 KVP ± 0 KVP

SIX INCH IMAGE INTENSIFIER 65 KVP ± 0 KVP

Refer to the Accessing 6600 Controller PCB Test Points in this section to gain access to the test point listed
in this step. Connect your oscilloscope between VID TP 28 and GRD TP40. Set the oscilloscope controls to:
negative trigger
10 µs / div. horizontal time base
0.2 V / div. vertical amplifier
(trigger on video line if available)

NOTE:
If you have an oscilloscope with the delay feature set the trigger to Field, switch the mode to ALT and
set the time base to 10µs. Adjust the delay setting to 8ms and then switch the mode to B. This will give
you a horizontal line that is approximately in the center of the image.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Procedures

5. With the 1 mm copper filter over the Image Intensifier, take an AUTO-NORMAL X-ray.
6. Verify a horizontal sync pulse amplitude of 0.29 V ± 0.05 V as shown in figure 14.

NOTE:
You can access the manual gain potentiometer, R74, in step 8, by arranging the Lens Assembly disk
and the Camera PCB disk such that the access holes align. Refer to figure 2 for the disk locations.
Align the access holes by rotating the camera.

7. Adjust the camera’s Manual Gain potentiometer, R74 (shown in figure 1), to obtain 0.35 V video above
blanking level as shown in figure 14. Since noise occurs in video, use the middle of the noise to make
the measurement.
8. Remove oscilloscope leads. Remove the copper filter from the Image Intensifier.

Figure 15 - Camera Orientation for Step 1

1. Rotate the camera until the long axis is in physical alignment with the C-arm and the Camera PCB,
with the power and video entry cable attached, directed away from the C-arm (refer to Figure 15). This
represents the middle of the camera’s rotational range.
2. Turn off system power.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Procedures

NOTE:
The camera position is monitored by a 10kΩ, 10-turn variable resistor.

3. Lift up on the rotation pot far enough to disengage the rotation pot gear from the motor rotation gear.
Rotate the camera rotation pot until it reaches a rotation limit. Use the rotation pot gear set screw to
count 5 complete rotations in the opposite direction. This will position the rotation pot and will repre-
sent the middle of the camera rotation. Reposition the rotation pot to engage the rotation pot and mo-
tor gears.
4. Another approach to positioning the rotation pot correctly is by disconnecting P3 from the 6600 Con-
troller PCB. Connect a DMM to measure the resistance between pins 2 and 3 of the camera rotation
potentiometer. Verify a reading of 5.00 kΩ ± 0.05 kΩ.
5. Turn on system power.
6. Make an exposure and observe the vertical and horizontal orientation of the image, then terminate the
exposure.
7. Without making X-rays rotate the camera and observe the indicator arrow as it rotates around the
image perimeter. Discontinue rotation and observe where the arrow is pointing on the image.
8. Make another exposure and verify that the point indicated previously is now at the top of the monitor in
the new image.
9. Verify that while making an exposure the image and the rotation indicator remains aligned with each
other as you rotate the camera.

Verify Resolution

WARNING:
This procedure produces X-rays. Take appropriate precautions.

1. Refer to figure 16 and place the converging line pair tool on the image intensifier.
2. Rotate the camera to display the tool on the Workstation monitor at a 45 degree angle off-vertical.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Procedures

TOP VIEW OF TOP VIEW OF

IMAGE INTENSIFIER IMAGE INTENSIFIER

OR

Figure 16 - Proper Orientation of Line Pair Tool on Face of

Image Intensifier Tube.
3. Take an X-ray. Verify resolution is equal to or better than:

FIELD SIZE 60 Hz MIN lp/mm 50 Hz MIN lp/mm

6” 2.5mm 2.2mm
4” 3.0 mm 2.6 mm
4” Mag. 3.5 TBD 3.2 TBD
NOTE:
Resolution measurement is subjective even when using the converging line pair tool. Shift the tool or
rotate the camera, as necessary, to minimize the effects of moiré (wavy) pattern interference in the
region of interest. Generally, read the tool when displayed at an angle of approximately 45° on the left
monitor.

OEC measures the resolution as follows: observe the converging lines (from thick to thin) until ap-
proximately 50% of the converging line pairs disappear. If the line pairs disappear temporarily and 50%
(or more) re-appear, observe the pattern until 50% of the line pairs disappear.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Procedures

Entrance Exposure Test

WARNING:
This procedure produces X-rays. Take appropriate precautions.

1. Install the X-ray tube cover.

2. Position the 15 cc dosimeter ion chamber 16 cm (6.3”) below the output port of the skin spacer (X-ray
tube cover). It may be easier to place two 1mm copper filters on the I.I. and place a 5.5 inch block on
the copper filters. Then place the ion chamber on the block.

3. Center the ion chamber in the beam with full beam coverage by taking an exposure of the chamber
and verifying that all edges of the chamber appear in the image.

4. Shield the image intensifier with a lead apron or copper filters.

5. Select MANUAL mode and increase the technique to maximum. During a fluoro exposure, measure
and record the corrected exposure rate. Verify a reading of 0.89 R/minute or less.

6. Select AUTO-NORMAL mode. During a fluoro exposure, verify a reading of 0.89 R/minute or less.

7. Select AUTO-OSTEO/PED mode. During a fluoro exposure, verify a reading of 0.89 R/minute or less.

Verify a reading between 72.0 kVp to 78.0 kVp.

17. Remove the non invasive kVp meter and dosimeter.

NOTE:
There are a number of possibilities if the actual and indicated technique’s disagree. They are:

• An incorrectly set Camera iris. Repeat the Set Camera Iris and Video Gain procedure

• The values used in this procedure have changed. Contact Technical Support for updated information.

• There is a hardware or software problem requiring trouble-shooting:

If: the voltage readings are incorrect

Then: reload the EEPROM Data (Refer to the C-Arm Software section of the Service Manual)
If: the voltages are still bad after loading the EEPROM
Then
Either: you have corrupted data on the hard drive. An indication of corrupted data would be a
checksum error once you produce X-ray’s. In addition, you may want to view the Generator
Configuration screen and ensure that the ChkPts: a55a 5aa5 is displayed. If not, you have
corrupted software on the hard drive. Replace the software.
MINI6600TM Imaging System Service Manual - Procedures
