Example of a Peripheral Equipment Connection and Patient Environment.
1 Patient environment (represented by dot
pattern, extending exactly 1.5 meters
(1.8 meters [6 feet] in Canada and the U.S.A.)
around patient and ultrasound system)
2 Ultrasound system
3 Peripheral equipment power
4 Peripheral equipment (EN XXXXX and
IEC XXXXX)
5 RS-232C cable or video in/out
6 Additional Protective Earth (refer to 4-28)
7 Ultrasound system power
Serial Port
The system has two serial ports for connecting to a PC or to a serial (and
parallel) printer(s). Parallel printers require a serial-to-parallel converter.
Port #1 is located on the Input/Output Panel, and Port #2 is located on the
side panel.
Note: Port #2 is not available on systems with Version B of the side panel.
Configuring the Serial Port
Use the system presets to select the destination for data sent through the
serial port on the ultrasound system.
Caution: Should you disconnect the RS-232C cable from peripheral equipment,
always connect the termination cap to the cable connector. The termination cap
protects the pins on the connector and protects the system from potential
image degradation due to radio wave interference.
