RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement STEP ACTION Allow 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. Ensure 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. NOTE Remember 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. System Initialization System Initialization Description This procedure describes powering up, initializing and using the CU-4 and NCU controllers before beginning a scan. Prerequisites The WiFi NIC Setup procedure must have been completed and if required, the Optional Extended-Range Antenna Installation as well. STEP 4-8 ACTION Power up the controller, either CU-4 or NCU. SAIC Proprietary 306847 Rev A RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement STEP ACTION The 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. Wired 2. Wireless 3. Original Configuration 4. None of the above Enter 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. Ensure the other system units (Power/Transceiver, X-ray receiver, Imager, XR200) are properly connected and powered up before beginning a scan. NOTE See Chapter 5 as well as the RTR-4 Operator’s Manual (Doc. 120300, Rev. C) for a detailed description of routine scanning procedures. Wireless Connection Test The 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. 306847 Rev A SAIC Proprietary 4-9 5 Wireless Option Operation Introduction Standard 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. Wired 2. Wireless 3. Original Configuration 4. None of the above Enter 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. 306847 Rev A SAIC Proprietary 5-1 RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement 5-2 SAIC Proprietary 306847 Rev A 6 Maintenance & Troubleshooting Introduction Standard RTR-4 maintenance and troubleshooting procedures while using the wireless operating mode are identical to those for wired operation except for the items mentioned below. See the RTR-4 Operator’s Manual for general RTR-4 maintenance and troubleshooting procedures and the Golden Engineering XR200 X-Ray Source Operator’s Manual for X-ray source maintenance and troubleshooting. Power/Transceiver Battery Replacement The Power/Transceiver is powered by a battery. This battery in the Power/Transceiver is accessed and removed as shown in Figures 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3. Figure 6-1: Loosening Power/Transceiver Battery Cover 306847 Rev A SAIC Proprietary 6-1 RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement Figure 6-2: Removing Power/Transceiver Battery Cover Figure 6-3: Removing Power/Transceiver Battery X-ray Receiver Battery Replacement The X-ray Receiver is powered by a standard 9-volt transistor radio battery. 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.) 6-2 SAIC Proprietary 306847 Rev A RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement Figure 6-4: X-ray Receiver Battery Location Wireless Signal Strength Test Utility Wireless Signal Strength Test Utility Description The 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 Procedure Run the Wireless Signal Strength Test Utility as follows: 306847 Rev A SAIC Proprietary 6-3 RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement STEP 6-4 ACTION Doubleclick on the WaveManager Client icon on the Windows desktop. A dialog box entitled “WaveManager/Client - Status/Functions” appears. Click 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.” SAIC Proprietary 306847 Rev A RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement STEP ACTION Clicking 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. 306847 Rev A Clicking 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.) SAIC Proprietary 6-5 RTR-4 Portable Digital X-Ray Imaging System--Operator’s Manual Supplement 6-6 STEP ACTION Click the “Cancel” button on either the Test Results or Test History dialog boxes to exit the tests. Click the “Close” button on the “WaveManager/Client - Status/Functions” dialog box to exit the WaveManager Test Utility. SAIC Proprietary 306847 Rev A
