Check Camera Hardware

Prerequisites

Overview

This document describes the steps necessary to check camera hardware.

1 Preliminary Checks

Procedure

  1. Check the printer for paper jam or other malfunction.
  2. Check the physical connections between components.

2 Hardware Diagnostics

Run hardware diagnostics as appropriate for the particular camera type.

2.1 DICOM Camera

Procedure

  1. Verify camera parameters from a Unix shell as follows:

    cd /usr/g/en_US/app_defaults/devices ENTER

    ls ENTER

    The camera file is listed.

  2. Use “cat” to read the file and verify parameters. (See following example.)

    cat MIM-FLIB.dev ENTER


                         #first the obligatory fields
                      


                         set dName "MIM-FLIB"
                      


                         set dPort 5040  (Port Number)
                      


                         set dComment ""
                      


                         set dType digital
                      


                         set dColour greyscale
                      


                         set dQueueType DICM
                      


                         set dQueueName /usr/g/ctuser/app-defaults/devices/MIM-FLIB.dev
                      


                         set dAppTitle "MIM-FLIB"  (Camera AE Title)
                      


                         set dIPAddress 142.238.192.186  (Camera IP Address)
                      


                         set dHostName MIM-FLIB  (Camera Host Name)
                      

  3. To test network connection, run the following:

    ping camera_IPAddress ENTER

2.2 Laser Camera

Procedure

  1. To test hardware, run the following from a Unix shell:

    showdasm

    scsistat

  2. Refer to the DASM Troubleshooting procedure for additional information.

3 Finalization

No finalization steps.
