1. CDR Hardware and CDR DICOM Software

1.1 About this Document

This document is intended for first-time CDR users with CDR DICOM software. Users
who have already set up CDR hardware in their practices do not need to reinstall their
hardware. For them, this document can be used for reference, as needed. The principal
difference between this document and "Installing the CDR System" (distributed with
previous CDR User Guides) is the design of CDR DICOM software. If you are using CDR
hardware already, continue with the "CDR DICOM Quick Start Guide" (also included in
this binder) for an overview of CDR DICOM and software setup instructions.

1.2 System Requirements

First-time CDR users with CDR DICOM software should confirm that their client and server
workstations satisfy the system requirments for CDR DICOM software. Your workstation
information, which can be found in the Windows Control Panel under the System icon, must meet
the requirements found in the "CDR DICOM Quick Start Guide."

Check here to verify that your system is

running Windows 2000 / XP (recommended).

Check here to verify that your system has 64

MB of RAM (minimum).

Verify that your system is using a supported

USB Controller. Check our website at
www.schicktech.com for a current listing.

CDR DICOM Systems B1051049 Rev. A 1

 1.3 CDR Requirements for USB
• PC desktop or notebook with USB port
• USB cable
• CDR software version 1.8.4b or higher
• CDR Remote Module (also called the CDR 2000 Interface)
• CDR Wired Sensor

1.4 Additional USB Cable Information

To work with CDR, the US B cable must have a “/2c”designation. The “/2c”designation is
the USB spec designation for power connectors inside the cable. If the “/2c”designation is
missing, a new USB cable is needed.

TO FIND THE GAUGE OF

THE CABLE, LOOK AT
EITHER CABLE END, CLOSE
TO THE CONNECTOR

If a new cable is needed, refer to the following list.

LENGTH OF CABLE P ROPER GAUGE FOR CDR USB CABLES

0.81 meters (18 inches) 28AWG/1PR and 28AWG/2c
1.31 meters (4 feet) 28AWG/1PR and 26AWG/2c
2.08 meters (6.6 feet) 28AWG/1PR and 24AWG/2c
3.33 meters (10 feet) 28AWG/1PR and 22AWG/2c
5.00 meters (19 feet) 28AWG/1PR and 20AWG/2c

1.5 Single-User and Network Systems

CDR DICOM systems are set up in one of the following configurations:
• A single workstation running CDR DICOM single-user software (Standalone)
• Networks with multiple workstations running CDR DICOM multi- user
software (Client / Server)

PLEASE NOTE: When configuring your network for CDR DICOM software, we
strongly recommend the use of dedicated servers. Dedicated servers are
workstations that store images only; they do not acquire images nor are they
used to view them.

 1.7 Installing CDR Software

Before installing CDR DICOM software, refer to the "CDR DICOM Quick Start Guide"
document found in this binder. The Quick Start Guide provides an overview of CDR
DICOM software and can help you during the software installation process. When you
receive your CDR DICOM software CD, insert the disc into your workstation's CD drive,
and follow the on-screen directions to install the CDR DICOM program. (A screenshot of
the CDR DICOM Welcome screen is provided below.) When installing CDR DICOM
networks, always install the server first.

1.8 Connecting CDR 2000 Interface

NOTE: See Figure 3, below, for reference.
1. Connect the CDR Sensor to the CDR 2000 Interface.
2. Connect the USB cable to the USB connector on the CDR 2000 Interface.
3. Connect the USB cable to a free USB port on desktop or laptop system, and
then continue with paragraph 1.9 .

 1.9 Installing CDR 2000 Configuration File
If you are installing the CDR 2000 System for the first time, you will need to follow the
steps below to install the configuration file for your CDR 2000 System. Otherwise, skip
ahead to paragraph 1.10 .

STEP 1

A. When the computer

restarts after the CDR
program is installed, the
Windows Hardware
Wizard will detect the
CDR 2000 Interface as
an Unknown Device.
B. Re- insert the CDR
DICOM for Windows
CD.

STEP 2

A. Click on the
recommended option,
Search for the best
drives for your device.
B. Click Next.

STEP 3

A. Verify that the CD-ROM

drives check box is
checked.
B. Verify that the Specify a
location check box is
checked. Browse the CD
using the scroll arrow
until you find the
CDR2000.INF file.

6 B1051049 Rev. A CDR DICOM Systems

 C. For example, if “D”is
the drive letter of your
CD-ROM drive, you
would browse for: D:
\DRIVERS \CDR2000
(USB)

D. Click Next.

STEP 4

A. Verify the name and

location of the device
driver: D:\DRIVERS\
CDR2000
(USB)\CDR2000.INF
B. Click Next.

STEP 5

A. When the file has been

installed, click Finish.
B. Continue with
paragraph 1.10

 1.10 Installing CDR Sensor Calibration File
Provided with every CDR Sensor is a disk containing the Sensor calibration file. This file
helps to ensure the images acquired and displayed by the CDR system are consistently
high quality. The disk has the Sensor's serial number stamped on the label.
Each calibration file is unique to the Sensor it was shipped with and the file must be
installed on every computer using that Sensor. To install the calibration file for the
currently connected Sensor, perform the following steps.

1. Ensure the connection from the CDR Sensor to the CDR 2000 Interface and the
USB cable connection between the CDR 2000 Interface and the desktop or
laptop system is secure.
2. Insert the calibration file disk. Make sure the file name on the disk is the same
as the serial number of the Sensor.
3. Start CDR DICOM for Windows. Click System > Options > Acquisition
Modules > X-ray Properties and then on the Calibration tab. Click on the
Install New button. Click OK when finished. Click OK to close the CDR
Options dialog box.
4. Remove the disk after the file is copied.

 1.11 Using the CDR Diagnostic Utility
One of the best ways to check the status of your CDR hardware is to use the CDR
Diagnostic Utility. This tool, which is listed with other program items in CDR DICOM for
Windows, checks files and settings that are critical for CDR's operation. By running the
Diagnostic Utility with your CDR hardware connected, you have an accurate snapshot of
your CDR system's status, including the presence of the appropriate calibration file for the
connected sensor and the right firmware for the connected Remote Module. Color
checkmarks next to each verified item provide clear visual cues about whether a particular
item is configured /operating normally.

The following procedure illustrates how the CDR Diagnostic Utility is used to detect and
correct a problem with the firmware version inside the Remote Module.

STEP 1

A. Please be sure that CDR

DICOM software is
installed before
performing this
procedure.

B. Turn on the computer

and wait for the
Windows desktop to
display.

C. Click on Start menu,

then Programs, CDR
DICOM for Windows,
and then the CDR
Diagnostic Utility.

STEP 2

Click Check CDR USB

System.

CDR DICOM Systems B1051049 Rev. A 9

 STEP 3

A. The Diagnostic Utility

consists of several
information screens. The
screen you need to
reprogram your remote
is entitled Remote/
Sensor.

B. Click Next until the

Remote/Sensor screen is
displayed.

STEP 4

A. On the Remote/Sensor
screen is a row of
buttons and a series of
checkmarked items.

B. If all of the checkmarks

are green, your Remote
Module already has the
latest firmware and does
not need to be
reprogrammed. You can
stop here and skip the
remaining steps in this (Green Checkmark next to Firmware Revision – Remote OK)
procedure.

C. If a yellow or red
checkmark appears next
to the Firmware
Revision item, you will
need to reprogram the
remote.

D. Click the Program

Remote button.

(Red Checkmark next to Firmware Revision – Upgrade the Remote)

10 B1051049 Rev. A CDR DICOM Systems

 STEP 5

A dialog box appears with

information about the
update operation. Click OK
to continue.

STEP 6

During the upgrade

operation a progress bar is
displayed and updated.

STEP 7

If prompted, disconnect the

USB cable from the CDR
2000 Interface for a moment
and then reconnect it. Click
OK.

STEP 8

A. After a successful
update, click OK to
close the message and
return to the Remote/
Sensor screen. (Also
note a green checkmark
next to Firmware
Revision.)

B. Click Next for a

summary of information
collected by the
Diagnostic Utility.

C. Click Finish.
