RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement4-8 SAIC Proprietary 306847 Rev ASystem InitializationSystem Initialization DescriptionThis procedure describes powering up, initializing and using the CU-4 and NCU controllers before beginning a scan.PrerequisitesThe WiFi NIC Setup procedure must have been completed and if required, the Optional Extended-Range Antenna Installation as well.2Allow Windows to load as normal. Follow the same boot up procedure listed in the “System Initialization” section for both the CU-4 and the NCU.3Ensure the other system units (Power/Transceiver, X-ray receiver, Imager, XR200) are properly connected and powered up before beginning a scan.See Chapter 5 as well as the RTR-4 Operator’s Manual (Doc. 120300, Rev. C) for a detailed description of routine scanning procedures.NOTERemember to reinsert the black antenna connector slot cover into the NIC when finished using the antenna to prevent damage to the NIC and to prevent debris from accumulating in the NIC’s antenna port.STEP ACTIONSTEP ACTION1Power up the controller, either CU-4 or NCU.
RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement 306847 Rev A SAIC Proprietary 4-9Wireless Connection TestThe Wireless Connection Test procedure (which involves using the controller’s built in “WaveManager Client” software utility to test wireless signal presence and strength) is described in detail in Chapter 6.2The CU-4 will automatically select wired or wireless operation and load Windows.The NCU will instead display a screen that reads as follows:Windows cannot determine what configuration your computer is in. Select one of the following:1. Wired2. Wireless3. Original Configuration4. None of the aboveEnter your choice:Type in the number 2 after the “Enter your choice” command line to select wireless operation and press Enter to activate the wireless mode. The NCU will then load Windows. This mode only applies to NCU operation.3Ensure the other system units (Power/Transceiver, X-ray receiver, Imager, XR200) are properly connected and powered up before beginning a scan.NOTESee Chapter 5 as well as the RTR-4 Operator’s Manual (Doc. 120300, Rev. C) for a detailed description of routine scanning procedures.STEP ACTION
306847 Rev A SAIC Proprietary 5-15 Wireless Option OperationIntroductionStandard RTR-4 operating procedures for wireless option are identical to those for wired operation except that when the NCU (as opposed to the CU-4) is booted up, a standard MS/DOS command line interface screen menu appears as follows:Windows cannot determine what configuration your computer is in. Select one of the following:1. Wired2. Wireless3. Original Configuration4. None of the aboveEnter your choice:Type in the number 2 after the “Enter your choice” command line to select wireless operation and press Enter. This mode only applies for NCU operation. The CU-4 automatically selects wired or wireless as required.See the RTR-4 Operator’s Manual as well as the Golden Engineering XR200 X-Ray Source Operator’s Manual for more information regarding system operation.

The battery is accessed by removing the slide cover on the bottom end of the X-ray Receiver below the Velcro strip (Figure 6-4.)
RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement 306847 Rev A SAIC Proprietary 6-3 Figure 6-4: X-ray Receiver Battery LocationWireless Signal Strength Test UtilityWireless Signal Strength Test Utility DescriptionThe RTR-4 Wireless Option features a signal strength test utility called “WaveManager Client” and is launched by clicking on an icon on the Windows desktop. This test has two main subtests--Link Test and Test History--both used to determine the system’s effective signal strength when deployed in the field.Prerequisites• Ensure all RTR-4 Wireless Option units have been properly set up, connected, configured and powered up as described in Chapter 4.•The WiFi NIC Setup procedure and, if required, the Optional Extended-Range Antenna Installation both described in Chapter 4 must have been completed.• The CU-4/NCU must be booted up and running Windows.Wireless Signal Strength Test Utility ProcedureRun the Wireless Signal Strength Test Utility as follows:
RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement6-4 SAIC Proprietary 306847 Rev ASTEP ACTION1Doubleclick on the WaveManager Client icon on the Windows desktop. A dialog box entitled “WaveManager/Client - Status/Functions” appears.2Click on the “Link Test” button. A dialog box entitled “WaveManager/Client-Link Test” It has five tabs at its top, two named “Test Results” and “Test History.”
RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement 306847 Rev A SAIC Proprietary 6-5 3Clicking on the “Test Results” tab displays a real-time bar graph of connectivity metrics as shown below.The numerical values displayed are typical for a Power Transceiver and WiFi NIC minus the optional Medium-Range Antenna.4Clicking on the “Test History” tab displays a real-time signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) figure and corresponding line graphs. The higher-level graphic lines shown in the figure below illustrate more efficient and robust communications are. (The rise in the curve is due to the use of the optional Medium-Range Antenna.)STEP ACTION
