Additional Hardware Settings
The next group of hardware settings (following the Serial
Port settings and the System Status I/O settings) deals with
various functions. These eight selections provide further
customizing of the
iQ
generator. Figure 5-53 diagrams
these selections.
Advanced Process Settings
Enabling
Advanced Process Settings
allows the opera-
tor to adjust a few of the higher level settings through the
Process Settings
menus.
To enable Advanced Process settings:
1. From the main menu select the

Process Utilities
screen
select the
Hardware Setup
soft key.
2. In the
Hardware Settings

Process Settings
which is located near the
bottom of the list, press the
Enable
soft key,
and then the
YES
soft key in the next screen.
Advanced process settings are now enabled.
Care should be taken when changing these settings because
the system could be damaged in some way.
Before changes are allowed, a warning screen displays an
alert. See Figure 5-54.
Descriptions of each of the settings are shown below.
• Free Run Frequency
Free run is the frequency at which the generator drives
the ultrasound output pulses until a valid feedback sig-
nal is detected. Typically this value should be below the
operating frequency of the stack.
• Frequency Tracking
When Enabled, at the end of each cycle the operating
frequency is applied to the Free Running Frequency set-
ting. It's based on a 16 point average. Therefore, after 16
cycles, the actual operating frequency will be the Free
Running Frequency setting. If the generator has not been
cycled for a minimum of 5 minutes, the generator will
request that the stack be scanned in order to verify the
optimum Free Running Frequency setting.
