These fielddefinitions will give us the text ”Mode” followed by the ”MODE”-value at the
center bottom of the patient data window.
3.5.6 Protocol set-up GXDP
Select GXDP-P or GXDP-NP protocol depending on whether the polling function is to be
used or not, refer to the Network Installation Manual.
No further set-up is made for this protocol. The data input has the format: ”comm field
comm field number
is corresponding to the comm field number
defined in the picture and the
value
is the value which shall be displayed in the picture,
refer to chapter 3.4.
The manufacturer of the XRAY equipment should present a documentation specifying
which data is representing by which number and maximum length of eath item. Example:
Number
Length
Description
0
2
kV
1
4
mAs
2
2
Anode (Rh/Mo)
This means that the following data string is sent from the XRAY-unit:
”0:14;1: 2.4;2:Mo”
.
The value ”14” will be placed in communication field number zero, the value ”2.4” in field
number one, text ”Mo” in field number two.
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. Now, select which
data (i.e. number) this COMM field should display. One COMM field for each exposure
data must be created.
Example
We want to create a COMM field that shall display the ”mAs”. Create a new field and
under fielddefinition select Type COMM. With reference to the table above the length
should be set to 4 and Comm to 1.
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. The F-text should be on the same row as the COMM
