Sometimes the monitor on our sequoia 512 does not turn on when we power up the system. It only happens after the system has been running for a while (it's warm). And, I might be crazy, but holding the power button in for the perfect amount of time may (that's a big MAY) help it turn on. I'm not sure.

Ring any bells?

On a maybe related note, is there any way I can clean the system without tripping the lock? I have a gut feeling it is getting too hot.

Please How do you turn on the power supply only for measure the output.

Or Where Can I Find the schematic of this power supply.

Thanks, Appreciate your help.

Could anyone have any suggestions which could help?
Thanks.

To access these utilities you will first need to have the OCWARE chips on the OC3, then a command line and lastly a series of commands that unlock the door to manual diagnostics.

Please follow the steps located below according to the pictures. If they do not work, then you may not have the onboard diagnostic chips. Please contact me if you do not and I will try to accommodate. Also note that I cannot support Rev. 23 and below for the diagnostic utilities. Rev. 25 and above is fine though.

First step is to access the command line. To do this you will need to locate the TEST key on the 128XP, as can be seen below, and while the system is OFF, hold the TEST key in, then power the system ON.

Continue holding until you see this screen:

Type the information you see below, keeping in mind that you need to press enter after each line. I will put it in text as well just so you have the right steps, then the finished product on the screen.
S10BFBA   (press Return)
01             (press Return)
G262B600 (press Return)

If all goes well you should be directed to this screen:

At the $_ command line type in PM and press Return. PM = Periodic Maintenance, it takes about... 45-60 minutes to complete and once finished it will display a notification of what tests failed. If nothing has failed it will say "failed     0 tests", as can be seen in the screen below.

If you do have errors, type in STAT and press Return. It will display a list of all the test #'s that failed. Write those down, and post them in this thread. I can help you determine what these tests are and what they mean, as well as how to run individual tests and check for channel failures in boards, etc, etc.

System: Acuson Aspen

I want to trigger a scan of a brachial artery to the r wave of the ECG (which I can do) and then I want to go into PUlse Wave mode to get the doppler flow trace at the bottom of the screen (which I can do separately)

However, my issue is that the image then untriggers from the ECG and is pulsatile again (I need it to be triggered to the R wave so that I can do some offline analysis for flow-mediated dilatation).

Also, when I am in pulse wave mode, the image of the artery is small (at the top of the screen) and the pulse wave signal is very large and takes over half the screen -- is there a way of making the image much larger and the pulse wave trace smaller

Many thanks

This is where you'll find all the necessary items for backing up and restoring data. Namely checking the Version Report, Configuration Report, Encryption Strings and Backing Up Presets to MO Disk.

To access the menu you will need to press a series of buttons. One of these buttons is semi-complicated to find, and can be found by looking at the picture below (will be added as soon as I can get to a machine with a camera). This is known as the "Test" button.

For the 6.0 and Higher systems: "Code" and "V" need to be held down while pressing the "Test" key to bring up the CSR menu.

For the 4.0 and Lower systems: "Code", "Shift", and "V" need to be held down while pressing the "Test" key to bring up the CSR menu.

You can also access the AEGIS configuration (turn it to networked if you want to use DICOM), the DICOM Configuration for connecting to a PACS system, or a DICOM network, as well as DICOM printing. But you need the corresponding DICOM Print/Store options licensed in the Aspen to use these features. The Network Configuration menu is where you go to set up the Aspens basic IP information and connect to the Perspective PC (3D surface rendering PC), which also relies upon licensing to run.
