LightSpeed VCT Xtream HD Console Upgrade

Prerequisites

Overview

This document describes and illustrates the steps necessary to upgrade a LightSpeed VCT GOC5 Operator Console with an Xtream HD (GOC6 Series with VeRB) Operator Console.

Refer to the flowchart in Figure 1 for the overall upgrade process. .

Figure 1. GOC5 to LightSpeed VCT Xtreme HD Console Upgrade (GOC5 to GOC6 Series + VeRB Upgrade) Flowchart

note:

Please review Section 3.5, Required Conditions, before proceeding with this upgrade procedure.

1 Inventory Upgrade Kits

Procedure

  1. Before starting upgrade and console disassembly, check contents of Upgrade Kit to make certain all supplied parts are present and have not been damaged in shipping. (Refer to Section 3.3, “Replacement Parts”)
  2. If the existing GOC5 Operator Console has a SCSI MOD Archive Peripheral Tower, a new version of the Option should have been ordered with the Xtream HD Console Upgrade.

2 Identify Detector/DAS type

note:

There are three types of VCT Detectors/DAS released, VDAS (Sherlock Detector), HDAS (HALO Detector), and HDAS_Saturn_64 (Saturn Detector). They are identified on the Common Service Desktop Home page "Data Acquisition System" type listed as VDAS, HDAS, or HDAS_SATURN.

Procedure

  1. Before un-installing GOC5 Console, identify which Detector/DAS type is present with system being upgraded.
  2. Look at the Common Service Desktop home page for the DAS type entry. If the DAS type = VDAS64 or HDAS64, then you have a Sherlock or HALO detector and system software will need to be reloaded after installing the new Xtream HD Console. The Lighspeed VCT Xtream HD GOC6 Series console comes loaded for the DAS type = HDAS_SATURN_64, which is the Saturn detector.
  3. Record the DAS type now, to be used later in the Console Initialization section.

3 Uninstall GOC5 Operator Console

3.1 Save System State on GOC5 Console

Procedure

  1. Save a new System State in accordance with Software – GOC5 > Software Installation > System State Save & Restore in the LightSpeed VCT Service manual supplied with this upgrade.
  2. Note that the above System State Save & Restore procedure is applicable to GOC5 as well.

5 Console Initialization

Read this section in its entirety before executing this part of the procedure! In almost every case a Load From Cold will be required to complete the Console Upgrade.

5.1 LFC Preparations

Make note of the following LFC process clarifications:

Procedure

  1. Refer to DAS type as record in Section 4.2 "Identify Dectector/DAS type. A VDAS64 or 32 is a “Sherlock” detector, and is noted in the Parts list as VDAS. The HDAS64 is a HALO detector is noted in the Parts list as HDAS. The HDAS_SATURN_64 is a Saturn detector, and is noted in the Parts list as Saturn.
    note:

    LFC is required on SHERLOCK and HALO Detector-based VCT Systems receiving this upgrade. All Saturn Detector-based systems should already be using a GOC6/6.5 Series Console and not be receiving this upgrade.

  2. Manually configure System Type. During the APPS Load Section of the LFC, do not use the System State disk from the older GOC5 console or the new GOC6/6.5 console to retrieve System INFO file. System Type must be manually configured during this initial LFC.

    Figure 22. Manual System and Console Hardware Configuration

  3. During the LFC process when executing the LFC Menu, skip the Restore System State step. Items like Cals, Characterization, and Protocols will be restored after the LFC has been performed.
    note:

    Restore System State in the LFC Menu is an automated process and does not allow for selection of individual categories for restore.

5.2 Load from Cold (LFC) Required on SHERLOCK and HALO Detector-based VCT Systems

Procedure

  1. Perform GOC6 Series Load from Cold.

    Refer to Software GOC6/6.5 > Software Installation Procedures >(xxMWxx.x) GOC6 Series Load From Cold procedure in the LightSpeed VCT Service manual supplied with the upgrade and follow the procedure for loading System Software.

    note:

    Check the Applications software version on the CD shipped with the upgrade, then follow the applicable (xxMWxx.x) Software LFC procedure on the supplied Service Information CD

    note:

    New License Keys will be supplied with Console Upgrade. All old Software License keys from original Customer Order (GOC5) for the system being upgraded will no longer work for the new console. During the ordering process for the Xtream HD Console Upgrade, Sales will need to supply a list of the Options the Customer originally acquired.

  2. Upon completion of the LFC and reboot of System, perform a Restore System State. Restore the following files and data from the old GOC5 System State:

    • Protocols

    • Characterization

    • Cals

    • Auto Voice

    • Display Preferences

    • Camera Preferences

  3. Tube Usage Files:

    Immediately after restoring System State run the following ConvertTubeUsageFiles command:

    • Open a Unix shell.

    • At ctuser type: ConvertTubeUsageFiles (Note: Case sensitive.)

    • Enter Selection: 4, Done Converting Tube Usage Files!

    • Now perform a Scan Hardware Reset and reboot the system.

  4. Create a final System State Disk

    Perform the (xxMWxx.x) System State Save & Restore procedure and save a System State Backup to either DVD-RAM or USB Media.

6 Finalization

Procedure

  1. Refer to Functional Checks – System Scanning Tests in the LightSpeed VCT Service Manual supplied with the upgrade and perform the tests to confirm proper operation.
  2. Attach the VeRB Upgrade “Modified By Kit” plates (5335238) (Figure 23) alongside the present Rating Plates. (Locations A and B in Figure 24)

    Figure 23. Modified By Kit Plate

    Figure 24. Modified By Kit Plate Locations

  3. Reinstall the Console Front and Rear Covers.
    note:

    Refer to Replacement > Console > GOC6/6.5 > Console Cover Removal and Installation in the LightSpeed VCT Service Manual for more details.

  4. Save a new System State in accordance with Software GOC6/6.5 > Software Installation procedures > System State Save Restore in the LightSpeed VCT Service manual supplied with the upgrade.
  5. The old GOC5 console has components that are needed to cover FRU shortages, so PLEASE RETURN THE GOC5 CONSOLE. Follow the normal local return process to return the GOC5 console.
    1. Package the GOC5 console with the shipping material from the new GOC6/6.5 console.
    2. Mark the outside of the box “GOC5 Console.”
