GE HEALTHCARE DIRECTION FC091194, REVISION 11 VIVID 7 SERVICE MANUAL 6 - 2 - Section 6-5 LCD Monitor Adjustments 6-5-1 Overview This procedure describes how to adjust the LCD moni tor for use with Vivid 7, software version v6.x and newer. It also describes how to set up the Vivid 7 to the factory default for LCD use. The LCD adjustment procedure contains two main tasks: 1.) Adjust LCD monitor 2.) Select gamma curve 6-5-2 Cautions and Warnings N/A 6-5-3 Access to Adjustments The adjustments of the LCD monitor is done via co ntrols (buttons) on front of the LCD monitor. On the LCD monitor: • Press Menu to activate the OnsScreenDisplay (OSD ) menu. • Navigate by using the up/down arrow buttons. • Select by using the Return button. • Back up in the menu tree using the Menu key. The AUTO and PIP keys should not be used. The menu system has five main icons/menus: • Input •Picture • MagicColorPro •PIP • Setup

Operation of the monitor within a magnetic field may adversely effect co lor purity. Degaussing can be used to correct this problem. To activate the manual degauss: 1.) Press either the > monitor adjustment button while the brightness/contrast adjustment indicator is not displayed on the monitor. To cancel the manual degauss, press the > adjustment button again. 2.) Press the toggle button for brightness and contrast. 3.) Press either the > monitor adjustment. NOTE: The monitor automatically degausses at power on.
GE HEALTHCARE DIRECTION FC091194, REVISION 11 VIVID 7 SERVICE MANUAL 6 - 4 Section 6-6 - CRT Monitor Adjustments 6-6-4 Adjusting the CRT’s Contrast and Brightness The display monitor’s contrast and brightness contro ls may need periodic adjustment due to changes in ambient light. They are adjusted from the three buttons on the front part of the display monitor. 6-6-4-1 Adjust Contrast The factory default Contrast settings: • BT03/04/05/06 units: Contrast = 65% • BT02 units: Contrast = 100% Follow the steps below to adjust the monitor’s contrast setting: 1.) Press Left button on the display monitor once (see Figure 6-1 Adjust Contrast and Brightness on page 6-4 ). 2.) Press Right button to increase contrast. 3.) Press Center button to decrease contrast. The amount of contrast is shown on a slider on the screen (see Figure 6-1 Adjust Contrast and Brightness on page 6-4 ).

Press the Left button on the display monitor twice (see Figure 6-1 Adjust Contrast and Brightness on page 6-4 ). 2.) Press the Right button to increase brightness. 3.) Press the Center button to decrease brightness. The amount of brightness is shown on a slider on the screen (see Figure 6-1 Adjust Contrast and Brightness on page 6-4 ).
GE HEALTHCARE DIRECTION FC091194, REVISION 11 VIVID 7 SERVICE MANUAL 6 - 6 Section 6-7 - Front-End Alignm ent Procedure (Beamformer Calibration) Section 6-7 Front-End Alignment Procedure (Beamformer Calibration) 6-7-1 Introduction Each A/D converter on the BF boards has an offset error (i.e. gives an output code different from 00 Hex with an input voltage of 0V). This offset error may cause artifacts in some modes of operation (2D and TVI) due to inaccuracy in the demodulation process. In order to deal with this problem, the software has support for cancelling of these offs et errors. This is done by first reading the offset error and then accounting for these numbers later during the normal processing. Beamformer Calibration is performed to calibrate each ADC channel of the two Beam Former (BF) board inputs. The system ca librates the Beamformer ADCs to zero output when there is no signal on the input. These bias voltages are stored on hard disk in Back-End Processor. The Front-End Alignment procedure can be performe d either as described below, or via the GSUI. See: 7-6-7 Calibration on page 7-33 . 6-7-2 When to Use this Procedure This procedure should be performed; • when installing a new Vivid 7 • after software has been updated or replaced • when BF boards have been interchanged • when a BF board has been replaced • when the Back-End Processor has been replaced
GE HEALTHCARE DIRECTION FC091194, REVISION 11 VIVID 7 SERVICE MANUAL Chapter 6 - Service Adjustments 6 - 7 6-7-3 Front-End Alignment Procedure 1.) Disconnect all connected probes. 2.) Turn on the Vivid 7. 3.) Press CONFIG (F2) and log on as adm, see 4-2-4 Log On to the System as ‘ADM’ on page 4-12 . 4.) Select System 5.) Select DC Offs. Cal to start the DC Offset calibration of the Beam Formers (Front-End Alignment). 6.) Wait for the calibration to take place. Front-End Alignment Description - Each A/D converter will get 0V inpu t (by setting ATGC to minimum). - One by one channel will be digitized and the re sult put in the IQ buffer on the RFT board. - The BEP will then read the IQ buffer and co mputes a value per channel. These computed values are compared to an upper/lower limit. - If all read values are ok, the message PASSED will appear. If values exceeding the limits are read, the system will prompt yo u with FAILED and a message will tell you which BF board is bad. - The resulting offsets for each channel are stor ed in a file on the Back-End Processor’s hard disk. - The values can be plotted in a diagram Show graph). 7.) When finished, select Show Graph. Wavy line signifies system has been calibrated. See Figure 6-3 DC Calibration of the Beam Former AD-converters Passed on page 6-8 . A Straight line signifies that the system has no t been calibrated and can be the cause of image quality issues. Figure 6-2 Calibration Dialog Channel Control DC Offs. Cal Cal. ResetShow graph

Restart Vivid 7. NOTE: Always reboot the scanner after Front-End Alig nment is finished and verify proper operation. NOTE: Do Not select “Cal Reset” af ter performing calibration. This will destroy the file located on the Back-End Processor, the image quality will not be optimized and a new calibration will be needed.
