NOTE! The communication protocol has to be set before setting up the picture, otherwise
the COMM field will display NONE.
Example
We want to create a COMM field that shall display the kV. Create a new field and under field-
definition select Type COMM. According to the Planmed protocol the length of the kV value
is two. This means that we have to define the length of this COMM field to two. Select Comm
kV will link the kV data to this field.
Fielddefinition
Type: Comm
Row:
Comm: kV
The field data do not include the unit (kV, mAs etc.). To add that, an F-text field with the ap-
propriate text has to be inserted after the COMM field. Create a new field and under field-
definition select Type F-text. The F-text should be on the same row as the COMM field and
it should start at column 120 (The COMM field starts at column 108 and has a length of 4
character, a small font character is 6 pixels wide, this gives us that the start position of the
F-text field should be 108 + 2 x 6 = 120). Hint, use the Place function to position fields, see
chapter 3.4.2 'Picture Win1/Win2'.
An appropriate text is entered under Fixed text, in this example "kV".
Fielddefinition
Type: F-text
Row:
Fixed text:
kV
These fielddefinitions will give us the "kV"-value followed by its unit at the center bottom of
the patient data window.
3.4.2.5 Protocol set-up I-IMAGING
No set-up is made for this protocol. The data input has the correct format which means that
no translations are needed.
Creating the picture that will be printed on the film is done in the same way as usual selecting
the COMM field type. The communication protocol has to be set before setting up the pic-
ture, otherwise the COMM field will display NONE. Now, select which data this COMM field
should display. One COMM field for each exposure data must be created.
NOTE! All supported Instrumentarium stand is sending also the type together with the value,
e.g. "25kV".
