the destination system?  (See section 2.1.3.)

Have you properly transferred a file from the source system?  (See sections 5.4 and 6.) 

 
 

5.4 Frequently Asked Questions 

 

What types of data can I send through my NumaLink-3.0 system? 
Your NumaLink-3.0 computer only supports 

raw, unprocessed

 data.  This includes the following study 

types: 
 

 

Static 

 

Dynamic 

 

Multi-Phase Dynamic 

 

SPECT (planar/MUGA) 

 

Gated SPECT 

 

Whole Bodies 

 
Some “Screen Save” data is supported from the following manufacturers: 
 

 

GE StarCam 

 

ADAC Pegasys 

 

Sopha XT 

 
When should I reboot my NumaLink-3.0 computer? 
If your normal procedure is to shut down your nuclear medicine equipment nightly, then do the same with 
the NumaLink-3.0 system.  If you leave your nuclear medicine equipment running all the time, Numa 
recommends rebooting the system once a week, preferably on a Monday.  You should also reboot the 
NumaLink-3.0 system if you are experiencing trouble transferring files. 
 
Can I load other software onto my NumaLink-3.0 computer? 
We strongly recommends that you do not load any software onto your NumaLink-3.0 system.  Doing so 
could cause the system to malfunction.  If your system is covered under warranty by Numa Inc., loading 
unauthorized software onto the NumaLink-3.0 computer is in violation of the warranty terms and will 
void the warranty. 
 
What about screen savers? 
Screen savers take up a large amount of memory and resources on your NumaLink-3.0 system, may result 
in slow transfer times and may also cause the system to malfunction.  Instead, you may turn off the 
monitor without disrupting normal system function.
