the DAS. It also provides buffering for various signal lines. The C-Arm Interface Board is
located near the rear of the lower C-Arm’s horizontal shelf.
Note: On the Discovery A model, the Data Acquisition System (DAS) consists of the
Analog to Digital Converter, Integrator/Multiplexor, and Solid State Detector
Boards. On the Discovery SL, C, and W models, a single-board, 128-Channel
Detector Assembly is used.
The C-Arm Interface provides circuitry to:
•
Control and monitor operation of the X-ray Controller Board. Four LEDs (two red,
one green, and one yellow) on this board, provide a visual indication of the status
of the X-Ray Controller and the X-ray control circuitry of this board.
•
Generate timing references to the DAS and PCI Communication Command Board.
•
Control power to the Positioning Laser.
•
Move the Aperture stepper motor and monitor its mechanically linked position-
sensing device.
•
Move the stepper motor of the Reference Drum device and monitor the encoded
signals returned from each drum of the device. Two green LEDs, on this board,
provide a visual indication of the Reference Drum operation.
•
Ge7VDC for the DAS system
2.7.1 Continuity Daisy Chain
The C-Arm Interface Board is part of two linked chains of boards. Removing any of these
boards conveys an alarm message to the host computer indicating that the electrical
integrity of the system has been compromised. This message can be decoded by the host
computer to detect the extent of the damage.
2.7.2 Power
The C-Arm Interface Board re24 and +/-15VDC from the Distribution Board. The
+24VDC powers the Aperture and Reference Drum stepper motor driver circuitry. The +/-
15V is passed through this board to the DAS. The +24VDC is also reduced to +5 and
+7VDC. The +5VDC powers the digital section of this board and the laser while the
+7VDC is applied to the DAS.
Three green LEDs, on this board, provide a visual indication of the +24 and +5VDC
power (ON indicates the respective voltage is present). The third LED monitors the
+28VDC used on the QDR-4500 models. On the Discovery, this voltage is actually
+24VDC.
2.7.3 Interface Connections
Figure 2-6 shows the interconnections between the Distribution Board and the C-Arm
Interface Board. Table 2-10 describes the interface signals and identifies the connectors
and their pin assignments.
