NOTE
The NX workstation comes with a default “DIGITIZER System Configuration and
Exam-Tree XML File” installed and activated.
The steps outlined here are only to confirm that the NX was prepared by production
for the DIGITIZER system.
IMPORTANT:
The default “DIGITIZER system configuration file” has following settings:
• Device Configuration:
o Digitizer CR 30-X incl. Digitizer Emergency button configured
o Printer Drystar 5302 configured
o Sheet and image text box configured (and alternatively one factory
default textbox)
• Configuration of Examination:
o Examtree English + adapted “Add image” pane
o System diagnosis examination configured
(visible in Add image pane)
o Dedicated examination for the digitizer emergency button, so that the
examtree can be deleted without loosing the configuration of the digitizer
emergency button
o User interface pre-configured. Note: With import of an other examtree
the "add image pane" has to be adapted
The digitizer gets a default “DIGITIZER Configuration and Exam-Tree XML File”
loaded in production.
A copy of this file is also available on MEDNET, GSO Library → Computed
Radiography → CR Digitizers → CR 30-X → Freeware

3 Completion of Installation
The purpose of this section is to show the tasks that are required to prepare the
digitizer for hand-over to the clinical application specialist.
The following table lists these tasks.
IMPORTANT:
• Image plate and tray always belong together. Do not take an image plate of one
tray and put it in another tray.
• Use only AGFA CR Phosphor Plate Cleaner and a soft lint-free cellulose cloth
to clean the image plate.
• Use only a dry cloth or blow away possible dust with compressed air to clean
the tray.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
• Lint free cloth
• CR screen cleaner
517509ag.cdr
Figure 18
517509ad.cdr
Figure 19
• Moisten the cloth with cleaner and wipe the image plate surface softly and
evenly (phosphorous side and rear side).
• Leave the image plate surface to dry for about 10 minutes to allow the
solvents to evaporate.
• Use only a dry cloth or blow away possible dust with canned air to clean the
tray thoroughly. DO NOT USE A SCREEN CLEANER TO CLEAN THE
TRAY.
• Once the image plate surface is dry (after about 10 minutes), check once
again for particles of material and other impurities
(11) Insert an edgeless means, e.g. a pen Black tube side of the cassette
NOTE:
The parameters "12.0 mAs - 75kVP - 1.3 m distance with 1.5 mm Cu filter" are
approximate values that may vary within the X-ray devices to reach the specified dose of
10µGy.
In addition it is not essential to expose exactly with the dose of 2 x 10 µG. The allowed
range is between 8 and 50 µG.
517509aa.cdr
Figure 22
IMPORTANT:
By selection of examination type "System Diagnosis - Flatfield", the correct settings
for image processing of the flatfield are used. Any other examination type may give a
result which cannot be compared with the limit pattern.
(1) At the lightbox or the viewing station visually compare the scanned flatfield with
the limit pattern. The limit pattern represents the lowest acceptable image quality
in slow scan and fast scan direction.: Compare the stripes in “slow scan” and in
“fast scan” direction”.
See also important note on page 23 if a FLFS cassette is used for flatfield
evaluation.
Figure 23
Evaluation:
• If the scanned image visually looks as good or better than the limit pattern,
the image quality is okay.
• If there are unacceptable effects in slow scan or fast scan direction see
chapter 3.3, Troubleshooting.
NOTE:
The slow scan direction is always the long side of the image plate.

1) The user inserts the cassette with image plate (IP) into the digitizer
2) The chip reader reads the image plate data
3) The user enters the patient data at the the NX workstation and selects
the ID button to send the data to the digitizer
4) The cassette unit opens the cassette and pulls out the tray with IP
5) The transport unit drives the image plate to the slow scan unit
6) Via calibration board the digitizer determines the position of the polygon
mirror to synchronize scanning and digitizing.
7) The laser beam which is generated in the optic module scans the image
plate, while the slow scan unit drives the image plate
8) The blue emitted light is collected by the light collecter
9) The PMT converts light to current, which is converted to digital pixels by
the PMI board.
10) The digital image data are sent via FireWire Interface to the NX
workstation
11) The image plate is driven back by slow scan unit and transport unit to
the erasure unit: Several LED arrays erase the image plate.
12) The tranport unit puts the image plate back into the tray, and pushes the
image plate with tray into the cassette.
13) The cassette unit closes the cassette.
14) The red blinking LED at the front panel changes to green, indicating that
the scan cycle is finished.
15) The user removes the image plate for the next exposure.
The processed images are stored on the internal hard disk of the
NX Workstation. However, the NX Workstation can only provide a limited
amount of storage capacity. The final archiving must be realized either by
printed hardcopies or a PACS.
Moreover, the NX Workstation decodes the routing data and sends the image
data to the selected destinations (e.g. Printer, PACS).
The cassettes are similar to the DX-S digitizer cassettes, however not
compatible.
The IPs are named "MD40" (MD = media definition; 40 = version).
These are flexible IPs that are also used in the previous digitizers,
except DX-S.
The tray is used as carrier to pull out the image plate and put it back into the
cassette. The tray only leaves the cassette for approx. 3 cm.

Calibration Board
• BOL / EOL Sensor
• 16 pin diodes
• Geometric Correction:
To correct irregularities in the optical path, the digitizer measures at each
boot-up the timings of the laser beam between pin diode 1 and 2, 2 and 3 and
so on.
As a result a kind of "calibration curve" is created, which influences the
frequency of AD conversion. This corrects possible distortions.
• Jitter Correction:
To correct irregularities in the polygon run, the digitizer measures the timings
between the BOL and EOL signal during each scan. Certain irregularities,
which may be caused by external vibrations or the polygon ball bearings are
smoothed by calculating mean values of several scan lines.

Introduction:
To compensate PMT sensitivity irregularities due to the previously collected
light, the light collector has a blue LED built in.
This blue LED creates a reference signals (REF LUM) before and during scan,
to correct the sensitivity of the PMT "on the fly" (HT correction).
Shading correction:
The digital value of each pixel is corrected with a correction factor determined
during shading calibration.

6 Stall Detection
Figure 10
Stall detection =
• Motor stall (home/end position) detection without the use of additional
sensors
• Made by evaluation of stepper motor control curve on the motor controller
chip
• When the torque increases and reaches a certain "switch off torque", as
the motor reaches the end position, the motor controller detects the stall
position and drives the motor a certain number of steps (e.g. 50 steps) till
it stops.
• During decelration time the stall detection is switched off, as torque differs
to much during deceleration.
• Rubber pieces in the end position support that the motor can be driven
with relatively high speed towards the end position.
• If the torque increases to the "switch-off" torque before the motor is
supposed to reach the stall position, the motor is also stopped. The
software however "knows" that this stop comes too early and issues an
error message (e.g. "IP jam").
NOTE:
The motor curves shown above are simplified. In reality the motor speed can
be reduced just before the stall position, or can even be reduced in several
steps before it stops.

WARNING:
If the digitizer is installed in the examination room, scattered radiation
may decrease the image quality of the exposed cassette.
If the CR 30-X is installed inside of an X-ray room it must be protected from
stray radiation by proper shielding. See chapter 11, Installation Planning,
section "Accessories".
WARNING:
Excessive vibrations during scanning may decrease image quality.
The structure and stability of the table used, need to be suitable in relation with
the size and weight of the system. The table may not be subject to excessive
shock and vibrations from other sources.
WARNING:
Risk of retakes due to power loss during scanning.
It is strongly recommended to install a UPS for the digitizer and the NX
workstation in case of unstable power conditions.
WARNING:
The digitizer uses high voltage. Electrical shock possible.
• A ground fault interrupter (GFI) (IN = 30 mA) must be installed at a
suitable point in the circuit (in compliance with VDE 664).
• Ensure that there is either a mains plug or an all-cable disconnecting
device in the internal installation fitted near the CR 30-X and that it is
easily accessible
WARNING:
Vibrations caused by transport in a truck (mobile usage) or
earthquakes may cause that the digitizer falls off the table.
During transport in a truck for mobile usage and at installations in earthquake
areas the digitizer has to be secured by the optional Wall Fixation Kit. See
chapter 11, Installation Planning, section "Accessories".
WARNING:
The digitizer is heavy (98 kg; 216.1 lb). Risk of injuries when lifting the
digitizer.
• At least three people have to lift the digitizer from one position to the
other.
• Use proper shoe and hand protection when lifting the digitizer.

Figure 13
Figure 14
IMPORTANT:
Before you fasten the 5 screws of the PMI
board carrier, shift the PMI board carrier
towards the digitizer rear side.
This ensures that the PMI board carrier is
mounted on the same position again, where
the light collector is in a stress free position.
Figure 15
Result: The PMI board carrier is adjusted this way, that the light collector is mounted
stress free.
PURPOSE Adjustment of the switch-off position: The safety switch has to be adjusted this way that
it switches off the machine if the cassette unit is opened
approx. 1 cm.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
3 mm
REQUIRED TIME:
20 min
PURPOSE Adjustment of the switch position, so that it reliably detects whether the cassette is
inserted the right way.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
1,5 mm
REQUIRED TIME:
20 min
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT:
(1) Insert a cassette the right way, i.e. black
side to the top and the shutter inside the
digitizer
(2) Push the cassette to the right: The
cassette edge sensor has to switch - a

PURPOSE Determine the sensitivity of the scanning system for each pixel of the scan line
WHAT A flatfield is scanned. For each pixel a sensitivity factor is stored in an EEPROM
HAPPENS on the PMT.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
REQUIRED TIME:
60 min
REQUIRED CASSETTE:
• Use the largest available cassette.
• If Genrad and FLFS cassettes of size 35x43 cm are available, use a Genrad
cassette.
• If no Genrad cassette in size 35x43 cm is available, however a FLFS cassette
(FLFs cassettes are only available in size 35x43 cm), use the FLFS cassette.
Observe special procedure described in step (4) and Figure 21.
Example 1:
The customer uses 3 x FLFS cassettes 35x43 cm, plus 3 x Genrad cassettes 24x30 cm
→ use the 35x43 FLFS cassette
Example 2:
The customer uses 2 x Genrad cassettes 35x43 cm plus 3 x FLFS cassettes 35x43 cm
→ use the 35x43 Genrad cassette

(1) Select the largest available cassette. If possible, use a Genrad cassette. See
above.
(2) Open the cassette and check the image plate (IP) for scratches. If no scratches
are visible, select this IP.
(3) Erase the IP
(4) If you use a FLFS cassette for shading calibration, put 2 cassettes underneath
the FLFS cassettes: This covers the area where the cassette has no backscatter
protection. Only this area has to be covered, which is used by the digitizer to
determine the shading calibration curves. See Figure 21 next page.

NOTE:
The parameters "12.0 mAs - 75kVP - 1.3 m distance with 1.5 mm Cu filter" are
approximate values that may vary within the X-ray devices to reach the specified dose of
10µGy.
In addition it is not essential to expose exactly with the dose of 2 x 10 µG. The allowed
range is between 8 and 50 µG.
(6) Start the CR 30-X Service Client: Select Start - Programs - Agfa CR 30-X -
Service Client
(7) Select "Preventive Maintenance - Calibration":
The current shading calibration is displayed. See Figure 22
(8) Select "Calibrate"
(9) Insert the exposed cassette: The IP is scanned and erased.
(10) Wait until the calibration data is transferred. In case of an error refer to section
3.1.2 Possible Reasons for Failing a Shading Calibration.
(11) Check, if the calibration file is stored in the Control PC.
See note next page.
(12) Remove cassette from digitizer
(13) If you made the shading calibration with a FLFS cassette: Erase the two
cassettes which where put underneath the FLFS cassette during exposure.
Figure 22
NOTE:
• The digitizer records 6 shading calibration lines (Gain 1 to Gain 6), one for
each facet of the polygon mirror.
• Additionally to the storage on the PMT, the calibration file is stored in the
following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Agfa\CR30-X\Gains00.stc
The calibration file is overwritten by the new one. To keep a certain
calibration file, save it with a different name.
Evaluation:
• If the scanned image does not show stripes in slow scan direction the
shading calibration is okay.
• If there are unacceptable effects in slow scan or fast scan direction see
chapter 3.3, Troubleshooting.
IMPORTANT:
If you use a FLFS cassette for flatfield exposure, the image will be slightly darker in
the upper and lower image area where the backscatter protection is removed (approx.
1 cm each). These darker zones also have to be used for image quality evaluation in
slow scan and fast scan direction to verify a successful shading calibration.

current, where the steps of the motor are in the specified, allowed range.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
REQUIRED TIME:
Approx. 1 min. per stall calibration

NOTE:
The stall calibration does not harm - it can be performed anytime. It is required
however only in the cases as described previous page.
Chapter 3.7
The digitizer CR30-X does not have device specific settings which may be
altered by the service engineer.
All settings are either determined in production and stored in E-Lables in the
corresponding module, or - at replacement of parts - have to be determined
again by an adjustment routine. These new values are automatically written to
the corresponding E-Label.

• On MEDNET always the latest free available release can be
downloaded.
• A software patch for a certain basic release always contains all previous
software patches for this release.
1.2 Limitations
• Shading calibration curves are stored at the processing station only.
This means, if a digitizer is operated with another processing station

Cassettes and image Can the CR30-X MD 4.0T cassettes with IPs MD40 be used in other
plates compatible to other Agfa digitizers?
digitizers?
• The cassettes MD 4.0T can only be used in the CR30-X digitizer. They
contain a special, thin tray for transport of the image plate in and out of
? the cassette. The 'T' in the name of the MD 4.0T cassettes stands for
this tray.
• The image plates MD40 could also be used in CR 25.0, CR 75.0 and
CR 85.0.
Options for the digitizer? Which options are available for the CR30-X digitizer?
• Fixation Kit (Some mechanical parts to fix the digitizer at the wall)
? • Cassettes with IPs (35x43; 15x30; 24x30; 18x24)
• UPS
• Table with wheels.
Options for the CR30-X Which options are available for the CR30-X System?
system?
• Auto QC2 (Dedicated PC with Auto QC2 software and box with tools like
phantom etc. Status 09/2006: Still waiting for release)
? • Printer (Drystar 5302)
CR30-X "All in One"? Will a "CR30-X All in One" version be offered, similar like the "DX-S All
in One"?
? Currently it is not planned to have an "All in One" version (i.e. CR30-X with
NX and UPS in one cart).
Processing station with Is it possible use the CR30-X processing station also for other
several digitizer inputs? digitizers, e.g. CR85.0?
No, this is not foreseen. One NX processing station may only communicate
? to one digitizer.
2 Installation
Staging of the digitizer? Will the CR30-X digitizer and the processing station be staged
together?
? No, there will be no common staging procedure, as this is not required: All
drivers and software for the CR30-X are loaded on the NX already.
Exception: In a certain case it could be possible, that a CR30-X digitizer is
delivered with newer digitizer software than the NX or vice verse. Such a
mismatch is automatically detected during installation, and a warning
message is issued which indicates, which part of the system has to be
upgraded.
3 Operation
Workflow for the How is the workflow for the customer when he is using a CR30-X?
customer? The Entry CR system works according to the so-called "Fast ID" workflow:
• The patient demographics are entered in the “New Exam” window or
? received from a RIS database and are shown in the “Worklist” window.
• The radiographer takes the X-Ray exposure of the patient
• The cassette is entered in the digitizer
• The patient is selected at the NX “Worklist” window: After pressing the
“ID” button the actual scan cycle starts (Digitizer can only start scanning
when the speed class is known, which is stored in the exam tree for this
patient --> Speed class influences PMT voltage)
• The scanned image appears in the NX: When the scan cycle is finished,
the radiographer takes the cassette for a new exposure.
N.B.: Due to this workflow, it does not really make sense to have the
digitizer far away from the NX (default FWI cable length: 4.5 m).
Service and user Which documents for user and service will be available for the Entry
documents for the CR system?
digitizer? User manuals:
• CR30-X user manual
? • CR30-X System user manual
• CR30-X Plates and Cassettes User Manual
• NX user manual
• NX key user manual
• Service Manual:
• CR30-X Service Manual DD+DIS150.06E
• NX Service Manual DD+DIS408.05E
CR30-X User manual on Will the CR30-X user manual be available on the processing station as
processing station? PDF?
No, the CR30-X user manual will only be available on a separate CD.

5 Calibration
Shading calibration with Is it possible to make the shading calibration (= flatfield uniformity)
small cassettes? with a cassette < 35x43 cm?
Yes, it is possible to make the shading calibration with a cassette < 35x43
? cm. In case the cassette is smaller the shading calibration covers only the
used size and smaller.

1 Introduction
Software CRE_1405 is available on MEDNET and used in production for digitizers type
5175/100 SN ≥ 2730 and type 5175/110 SN ≥ 6001.
Support of Software CRE_1405 improves Full Leg / Full Spine (FLFS) functionality by
FLFS
cassettes • overscan of image plates that are used in FLFS cassettes
• support of dedicated 35x43 cm FLFS cassettes. These cassettes have approx. 10 mm
of back-scatter protection removed to allow overlapping of cassettes.

Figure 1
By these two improvements the stitched image on the NX processing station has a reduced
gray stitching line between the single images (< 1.5 mm).
Support of With software CRE_1405 a new digitizer with sub-type 5175/110 is released:
“White Label
Digitizer” Functional difference: Reduced throughput for 35x43 cm cassettes from 70 IPs/h (Type
5175/100) to 50 IPs/h (Type 5175/110).
This digitizer is a “white label” device without any indication of brand or name.
Serial numbers for sub-type 5175/110: SN ≥ 6001
1.2.1 Image Plate transport stops before Scan Unit due to corrupted Slow Scan Board
E-Label. (HQ_0708220004)
Symptom In some cases after software upgrade to CRE_1309 or exchange of the slow scan board the
digitizer stops scanning when the first image plate enters the scan unit, due to a corrupted
slow scan E-Label:
In this case the digitizer waits for information which is normally stored in the E-label.
No error message is issued. The digitizer boots-up properly, as the corrupted slow scan board
e-label parameters are not used during boot-up. With a reset the image plate is returned in the
cassette. Scanning the next image plate gives the same result.
IMPORTANT:
Due to this improvement in software CRE_1405, a software upgrade to software CRE_1405
(or higher version) is required after exchange of the slow scan board (CM+9 5175 2120 X) or
the slow scan unit (CM+9 5175 2400 X).
Both spare parts have an enclosure document (Document number: DD+DIS365.07E) included
as of Q IV/2007, which describes this requirement.
Defect Non MD 4.0 image plate optimized correlation between IP code (part of the information on the
ID chip) and physical IP sensitivity.
Solution Perform software upgrade to CRE_1405. In software CRE_1405 the reference between IP
code and sensitivity is optimized.
NOTE:After installation of CRE_1405 the displayed lgM values will be slightly reduced
(approx. 0.07; i.e. if lgM for a certain examination was 1.7 in average, it is afterwards 1.63 in
average if the exposure parameters and exposure technique are kept constant).
1.2.3 CR 30-X Service Client Function "Diagnose Cycle" does not work
Symptom CR 30-X Service Client Function "Diagnose Cycle" can be executed, it stays however with
screen "Loading ESF". It is not possible to check any function by the diagnose cycle.
Solution In software CRE_1405 the missing functionality is implemented to start the diagnose cycle
successfully.

1 Introduction
Symptom After software upgrade to CRE_1309 as part of
• CR 30-X Service Kit CM+9 5175 9130 0 or
• Full Leg / Full Spine (FLFS) Upgrade Kit CR 30-X CM+9 5175 9140 0 or
• CRE_1309 freeware package on MEDNET, GSO library
sporadically error codes 10754, 10761 or 10767 may be displayed during boot-up or just
before scanning.
This mainly happens with machines that have been upgraded from software CRE_1206X to
CRE_1309 in the field. With lower possibility it may also appear at machines with software
CRE_1206X.
Machines delivered from production with ≥ CRE_1309* are not affected, as the tests made in
production since introduction of CRE_1309 are able to detect the fault.
*SN ≥ 1816 plus 1668, 1679, 1692, 1721, 1726, 1730, 1731, 1745, 1750, 1753, 1770, 1779, 1780, 1786, 1790,

Defect The laser power for determination of the timing signals for scanning (Begin of Line; End of
Line, Geometric Calibration) is set to < 50% of the max. laser power. Due to translucence
tolerances of the calibration board sensors, the required timing signal levels are sporadically
too low.
In software CRE_1309 the possibility for this fault is higher, as the fault detection mechanism
is more sensitive.
Solution Install software patch CRE_1309A on top of CRE_1309 at these machines, which have been
or will be upgraded from CRE_1206X to CRE_1309 in the field.
In this software patch the laser power for detection of the timing signals is set to 100%.

1 Introduction/Purpose
Symptom 1 After replacement of an IP Handling Board (CM+9 5175 5230 X) it is possible that after
insertion of the cassette, during cassette clamping error 4152 pops up "Cassette fixer
detected unknown format".
Symptom 2 After replacement of a Slow Scan Board (CM+9 5175 2120 X) it is possible that the aspect
ratio of the scanned image is not exactly 1:1 anymore, but e.g. 1:0,99 or 1:1,01.
IMPORTANT:
Both symptoms only appear, if both of following conditions are fulfilled:
• The digitizer at the production site which is used for board testing and the digitizer on
site, where the new boards are built in, deviate a lot in mechanical tolerances
concerning cassette clamping or the slow scan gear box.
• The NX processing station is always switched on
Defect Missing automatic E-Label data synchronization between control PC (= NX processing station)
and digitizer for the IP handling board and slow scan board.
The E-label synchronization is falsely initiated by a reset of the control PC only .

1 Introduction/Purpose
This document describes how to create test scans with unexposed IPs:
In which cases is it required to make test scans with unexposed Image Plates (IPs)?
Scanning unexposed IPs …
• is a typical method to verify a successful repair action at the digitizer hardware or
mechanics.
• cannot be used to verify image quality after any repair action or installation. In this case
an exposed flatfield is required.
Possibility 2:
Same proceeding like possibility 1, instead of “System Diagnosis – Flatfield” select however
any clinical examination type (e.g. Lower Extremities).
Why using exam type “System Diagnosis – Flatfield” for scanning unexposed IPs?

NOTE:
On the next pages some FAQs are listed which came up recently with introduction of
digitizer software CRE_1309:
Question Why does the digitizer with software ≥ CRE_1309 set pixels with SAL values < 134 to 134?
Answer SAL (Scan Average Level) Values < 134 of a clinical image are a clear indication of an
unexposed area (e.g. due to collimation, lead marker etc.). To avoid, that MUSICA is doing
unnecessary image processing in this area, which shows more or less the noise of the
image plate, this noise is “flattened” by setting all pixel values to an equal, low value.
MUSICA will not do any contrast enhancement in this area, as all pixels have SAL
value 134. This behavior is also implemented in the digitizers CR85 and CR75.
Question Does the fact, that pixel with SAL values < 134 are set to 134 have an effect on the
diagnostic information of the image?
Answer This behavior has no effect on the diagnostic information on the image. It just improves
image quality in unexposed areas.
Question Why does the lgM value in the Dose Monitoring Window at the NX processing station
display value 0.31 at an unexposed, erased image plate with software CRE_1309:
Answer As in software CRE_1309 all pixels with SAL values < 134 are raised to 134, the displayed
lgM value for an unexposed IP is also raised:
• In software ≤ CRE_1209D the lgM of an erased, unexposed image plate was
close to "0".
• In software ≥ CRE_1309 it is around "0.31".
See calculation below:
Definitions:
lgM = Median of log-converted pixel values
SAL = Scan Average Level (= 12 bit, root compressed value representing the energy of
read-out pixels at digitizers CR 85, CR 35 and related digitizers)
The displayed lgm-Value of a diagnostic image will not be affected by the upgrade from
software ≤ CRE_1206D to CRE_1309.
Question Why does an image of an unexposed IP look different between software ≤ CRE_1209D and
≥ CRE_1309 if I am using a clinical examination type at the NX processing station?
Answer • With Software ≤ CRE_1209D: All scanned pixel values are used for image processing.
The image will be a more or less noisy, bright image, depending on the erasure status of
the image plate (IP).
• With software ≥ CRE_1309: All pixel values below a certain threshold (SAL < 134) are
set to SAL value 134. If some scanned pixels are above this threshold, MUSICA, the
image processing software on the NX processing station, enhances these pixels. They
are shown as dark spots on a more or less grey image.
This is a normal behavior of MUSICA.
As better the erasure status of the image plate, as less dark spots will be visible.

NOTE:
· For a list of further improvements as well as open issues refer to section 3.8, Software
Releases, Patches of the CR 30-X Technical Documentation.
Defect:
· If – at image plate transport back to the cassette - the rear edge of a small image plate
leaves the rear transport rollers, it is only guided by the two front rollers. If the image
plate in addition is slightly bent up, it possibly jams at the cassette entry. See Figure 1.
· If drawer unit is not in home position, the cassette and IP removal cycle of the boot-up
cycle may misalign the drawer unit, as the boot-up cycle first drives up the lower
transport rollers before it drives back the drawer unit. A misaligned drawer unit can lead
to IP jams.
Solution: PART 1
Modified left and right side plate of upper transport unit, new segmented roller and guide
plate at erasure unit.
BEFORE Modification
IP Jams possible
Erasure Unit
Digitizer cross-section
Cassette
AFTER Modification
Roller mounted lower New guide plate at
and further to the front erasure unit
PART 2
Modified drawer unit: This drawer unit is mechanically improved to keep its alignment, even
if an IP jam occurs.
PART 3:
Software CRE_1309: With this software the digitizer first drives back the drawer unit to
home position after switch on, to prevent, that the lower transport rollers may mis-align the
drawer unit.
Part 2 and Part 3, both introduced in series production for SN ³ 1816 plus SNs 1668, 1679,
1692, 1721, 1726, 1730, 1731, 1745, 1750, 1753, 1770, 1779, 1780, 1786, 1790, 1793,
1795, 1799, 1800, 1802, 1804, 1809, 1812, 1813, 1814
PART 4: Extended cassette locker at cassette locking unit, to ensure reliable opening and
locking of the cassette locking mechanism. Introduced in series production with SN ³ 1635,
plus 1595, 1610
NOTE:
Purpose of the new guide plate at the erasure unit (see above – Solution – Part 1):
Prevents IP jams before the erasure unit at transport from cassette to erasure unit.
This is required, as the distance between upper roller and erasure unit is increased (less
guidance of the image plate towards erasure unit)
Defect:
Part 1: Mechanical problem of the roller drive gearing:
Drive gear and roller gear run “tooth on tooth”.
Part 2: No error message is displayed for this kind of IP jam
Solution: PART 1: Modified left and right side plate of upper transport unit, new segmented roller and
guide plate at erasure unit. Removal of not used drive gear on upper and lower roller.
Introduced in series production with SN ³ 1568.
PART 2: Error message introduced in software CRE_1309 for this kind of fault.
Introduced in series production for SN ³ 1816 plus SNs 1668, 1679, 1692, 1721, 1726,
1730, 1731, 1745, 1750, 1753, 1770, 1779, 1780, 1786, 1790, 1793, 1795, 1799, 1800,
1802, 1804, 1809, 1812, 1813, 1814
Introduced in series production for SN ³ 1816 plus SNs 1668, 1679, 1692, 1721, 1726,
1730, 1731, 1745, 1750, 1753, 1770, 1779, 1780, 1786, 1790, 1793, 1795, 1799, 1800,
1802, 1804, 1809, 1812, 1813, 1814
Defect:
Unhandled Communication exception
Solution: Intermediate solution: Software patch CRE_1206D: There the RAM was reset a few times
additionally at switch-on.
Final solution: In software CRE_1309 the RAM is properly initialized after reset in any case
by introduction of a new FPGA version (= basic software on the PMI board).
Introduced in series production for SN ³ 1816 plus SNs 1668, 1679, 1692, 1721, 1726,
1730, 1731, 1745, 1750, 1753, 1770, 1779, 1780, 1786, 1790, 1793, 1795, 1799, 1800,
1802, 1804, 1809, 1812, 1813, 1814
Figure 3
Defect: Electrostatic discharge during scan, leading to disturbances of BOL (Begin of Line) and EOL
(End of Line) signal
Part 4: Different time window to read out BOL / EOL signal, introduced with software
CRE_1309.
Introduced in series production for SN ³ 1816 plus SNs 1668, 1679, 1692, 1721, 1726,
1730, 1731, 1745, 1750, 1753, 1770, 1779, 1780, 1786, 1790, 1793, 1795, 1799, 1800,
1802, 1804, 1809, 1812, 1813, 1814
1.7 Error 6194 due to wrong mounted drawer unit stop (HQ_0702150006)
Symptom: Sporadic error 6194 (NUM_RETRIES_DRAWER_OUT_OF_CASSETTE_EXCEEDED)
Cassette entry
Defect: If drawer unit is not in home position during boot-up (e.g. after transport of the digitizer or IP
jam) the cassette and IP removal cycle of the boot-up cycle may misalign the drawer unit, as
the boot-up cycle first drives up the lower transport rollers before it drives back the drawer
unit.
A misaligned drawer unit can lead to IP jams.
Solution: Part 1: In software CRE_1309 the IP removal cycle has a changed sequence: The drawer
unit is driven back to home position before the lower transport rollers drive up.
Part 2: In addition the drawer unit is reinforced to prevent misalignment due to any
mechanical disturbance.
Both parts of the solutions are introduced in series production for SN ³ 1816 plus SNs 1668,
1679, 1692, 1721, 1726, 1730, 1731, 1745, 1750, 1753, 1770, 1779, 1780, 1786, 1790, 1793,
1795, 1799, 1800, 1802, 1804, 1809, 1812, 1813, 1814
Defect: Defective PMI board due to wrong inserted FireWire Interface Cable: A wrong inserted
FireWire cable results in too high power on a data pin on the PMI board, leading to a
defective FireWire driver.
Solution: Distance holder and strain relief mounted in the rear of the digitizer.
Introduced in series production for SN ³ 1816 plus SNs 1668, 1679, 1692, 1721, 1726,
1730, 1731, 1745, 1750, 1753, 1770, 1779, 1780, 1786, 1790, 1793, 1795, 1799, 1800,
1802, 1804, 1809, 1812, 1813, 1814
Defect: Problem in communication protocol between slow scan board and PMI board
Defect: New lot of analog / digital converters on PMI board which requires different offset: Some
software parameters were too stringent
Solution: Software CRE_1309 has empty fields only by default in the site specific data screen.

1 Introduction
Symptom: Defective PMI board due to wrong inserted FireWire Interface Cable
Additional information:
• If the PMI board is defective due to wrong inserted FireWire cable in the rear, the
LED as indicated in Figure 1 is off.
• Additional indication for a defective PMI board: By default a "ding-dong" sound is
audible at the NX processing station if it detects the FireWire interface at switch-on
of the digitizer. If the PMI board is defective this "ding-dong" sound is not present.
Defect: A wrong inserted FireWire cable results in too high power on a data pin on the PMI
board, leading to a defective FireWire driver.

NOTE:
All digitizers with SN ≥ 1532 have a cable tie
around the FireWire connector making it
more difficult to insert the cable wrong by
force.
In the next weeks a spacer will be
introduced, to prevent that the FireWire
cable can be damaged by shifting the
digitizer too close to the wall.
In addition a strain relief will be introduced,
preventing that the cable can be

1) The user inserts the cassette with image plate (IP) into the digitizer
2) The chip reader reads the image plate data
3) The user enters the patient data at the the NX workstation and selects the ID
button to send the data to the digitizer
4) The cassette unit opens the cassette and pulls out the tray with IP
5) The transport unit drives the image plate to the slow scan unit
6) Via calibration board the digitizer determines the position of the polygon mirror to
synchronize scanning and digitizing.
7) The laser beam which is generated in the optic module scans the image plate,
while the slow scan unit drives the image plate
8) The blue emitted light is collected by the light collector
9) The PMT converts light to current, which is converted to digital pixels by the PMI
board.
10) The digital image data are sent via FireWire Interface to the NX workstation
11) The image plate is driven back by slow scan unit and transport unit to the erasure
unit: Several LED arrays erase the image plate.
12) The transport unit puts the image plate back into the tray, and pushes the image
plate with tray into the cassette.
13) The cassette unit closes the cassette.
14) The red blinking LED at the front panel changes to green, indicating that the scan
cycle is finished.
15) The user removes the image plate for the next exposure.
IMPORTANT:

NOTE:
If installed on the optional wheel table (see section 2.1) the digitizer can also be
installed in a corner.
Be aware, that the mains switch is in the rear. See section 7.1. At a corner installation
the mains switch may not be accessible.
IMPORTANT:
*The clearance in the rear for electrical connectors and to provide sufficient air flow
has to be at least 10 cm [3.9 in] in any case.
**Also at least 50 cm [19.7 in] space has to be provided on the right hand side to
allow cleaning of the scan line with the claning brush. This can be performed by the
customer.
5 System Integration
• The digitizer has to be connected to a dedicated NX workstation via
Fire Wire cable.
• One NX workstation can acquire images from one digitizer.
IMPORTANT:
• Unpacking and putting on table to be performed by forwarder.
• Recommended table height: 75 cm.
• The Fire Wire cable length is 4.5 m for the NX workstation tower version, and
3 m for the NX workstation laptop version. This cable length is sufficient for the
"Fast ID workflow"*. Using longer cables is not supported.
NOTE:
*Fast ID Workflow means: The cassette is not identified before exposure, but waits
for patient data entry at the NX after the cassette is entered into the digitizer. Only
when the patient data are entered at the NX and sent to the digitizer the scan cycle
begins.

Figure 8
IMPORTANT:
Do not place the laptop on top of the CR 30-X, because the accumulated heat
developed by the digitizer and the laptop may affect the operation of the system.
WARNING:
Using a FWI cable > 4.5 m may lead to unstable or no communication
between digitizer and NX workstation.
Only use the FireWire cable which is part of delivery. Longer cables are not
supported.
WARNING:
When different combinations of equipment are used in various medical
environments a potential difference (V) can exist between the protective
earths in different localities. If the protective earthing fails this potential
difference can cause a HAZARD for the OPERATOR or for the PATIENT.
• To comply with ISO 60601-1 (annex I) all computers and peripherals must be
connected to the same power source.
• Always connect the associated monitor to the same Uninterruptible Power
Source as the PC
WARNING:
Excessive vibrations during scanning may decrease image quality.
The structure and stability of the used table need to be suitable in relation with the
size and weight of the system. The table may not be subject to excessive shock
and vibrations from other sources.
High Frequency Emission and For detailed information refer to the digitizer
Immunity user manual , Appendix B.
7 Electrical Connections
Warning:
Electrical device. Shock possible.
INSTRUCTION:
• Do not position Agfa EQUIPMENT so it is difficult to operate the disconnection
device when an APPLIANCE COUPLER or separable plug is used as
isolation.
• Local and International wiring regulations must be observed. Check all
supplies and voltages, currents, trips and fuses with the Hospital facilities
