This window is used to define a number of text strings. The Mammomat
®
3000 sends a
few parameters as 0 and 1, whereas they should be presented as texts instead. This
window is used to define those texts. For more detailed information, please refer to the
Mammomat
®
3000 manual.
Each string may be up to 8 characters long. Use the up and down arrows to go to the row
below or above, and use ”0 text”- and ”1 Text” soft-keys to select column.
Creating the picture that will be printed on the film is done in the same way as usual
selecting the COMM field type.
NOTE!
The communication protocol has to be set before
setting up the picture, otherwise the COMM field will display NONE.
Example
We want to create a COMM field that shall display the FOCUS. Create a new field and
under fielddefinition select Type COMM. The Mammomat
®
3000 is sending ether 0 or 1 as
the FOCUS parameter and the Kodak Network ID Camera is translating it to a text
according to the protocol set-up above. In this case the texts are SF for 0 and LF for 1.
With reference to this settings, the length should be set to 2 and Comm to FOCUS. This
means that we have to define the length of this COMM field to two. Select Comm FOCUS
will link the focus data to this field.
The field data do not include the unit (kV, mAs etc.). To add that, an F-text field with the
appropriate text has to be inserted after the COMM field. Create a new field and under
fielddefinition select Type F-text. Enter values for the row and column to place this field at
a position of your preference. Hint, use the Place function to position fields, see chapter
3.4.3. Enter appropriate text under Fixed text.
These fielddefinitions will give us the text ”Focus” followed by the ”FOCUS”-value at the
center bottom of the patient data window.
