Introduction • Safety Precautions • 1 - 17
1.4 Safety Precautions

All personnel associated with x-radiation must become familiar with the safety and
regulatory instructions within this manual, and its related component manuals. These
instructions should be thoroughly read and understood before operating the equipment.
X-ray equipment does not pose any danger when used properly. Ensure that all service
and operating personnel are properly trained and understand the hazards of radiation.
Those responsible for the system must understand the safety requirements for x-ray
operation.
1.4.1 Lock-out Procedures
Emergency stop buttons shall not to be used during maintenance or servicing operations in
place of required lock-out procedures. The equipment shall only be serviced by trained
service personnel. Service personnel shall be knowledgeable of and follow their
organizations required lock-out procedure. This procedure should state that the equipment
shall not be serviced without locking the electrical disconnect in the open position.
1.4.2 Radiation Safety
WARNING! This equipment may be dangerous to patient and operator unless safe
exposure and operating instructions are observed.
The IDC Detector Head produces no x-radiation. The system produces digital medical
images when coupled with specified medical x-ray equipment. All appropriate safety
precautions should be taken when working with x-ray equipment.
X-ray exposure may be damaging to health with some effects being cumulative and
extending over months or even years. Operators and service personnel should avoid any
exposure to the primary beam and take protective measures to safeguard against scatter
radiation. Scatter radiation is caused by any object in the path of the primary beam and
may be of equal or less intensity than the primary beam.
An effective protective measure is the use of lead shielding. To minimize dangerous
exposure, use such items as lead screens, lead impregnated gloves, aprons, and thyroid
collars. The lead screen should contain aminimum of 2.0 mm of lead or equivalent and
personal protective devices (aprons, gloves, etc.) must contain a minimum of 0.25 mm of
lead or equivalent. For confirmation of the local requirements at your site, please refer to
your “Local Radiation Protection Rules” as provided by your Radiation Protection
Advisor.
Only certified and properly trained, authorized personnel should be permitted to take
x-ray exposures. No practical design can incorporate complete protection for personnel
who do not follow proper safety precautions.

1 - 18 • Introduction • Safety Precautions
1.4.3 Monitoring of Personnel
Radiation exposure should be measured to determine whether or not protective

measures are adequate. Monitoring may reveal inadequate or improper radiation
protection practices and potentially serious situations of radiation exposure.
The most effective method of measuring radiation exposure may involve use of an
exposure measuring instrument. Measurements should be taken in any location
where the operator or any portion of the body is exposed. Exposure must never
exceed the accepted tolerable dose.
It is also a common practice to measure radiation exposure using personal
radiation dosimeters. These instruments consist of x-ray sensitive film, thermoluminiscent
material, and optically stimulated material enclosed within a holder that may be worn on the
body. Although this instrument only measures the radiation in the body’s general
vicinity, it does provide a reasonable indication of radiation exposure.
1.4.4 Patient Safety
WARNING! Do not allow patients to pull themselves up from a sitting or lying position using
the patient handles or any other part of the unit.
WARNING! This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic
mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
WARNING! The appropriate x-ray imaging exposure parameters should be consistent with
established Federal and Provincial/State radiation protection practices and
medical imaging standards in your institution.
1.4.5 Patient Environment
The patient environment refers to the space under, above, and around the patient table top.
System components, such as the generator and computer workstation, must be installed
outside the patient environment. See Table 1-9 and Figure 1-12 for patient environment
dimensions.

1.4.6 Environmental Safety
This equipment or system contains environmentally dangerous components and materials.

Once the life-cycle of the equipment or system comes to an end, it becomes dangerous,
and is considered to be harmful waste according to international, domestic and local
regulations.
Once the life-cycle of the equipment or system comes to an end, IDC recommends
contacting your local dealer or an authorized waste management company for information
concerning the removal of your equipment.
1.4.7 Reporting Serious Incidents
1.4.7.1 Definition
Serious incidents involve failure of equipment or deterioration of equipment that has or
could cause injury or death. Reporting serious incidents is a liability and regulatory

Most serious incidents can be avoided with proper training and proper installation of heavy
equipment such as c-arms, tube mounts, and collimators used for positioning.
NOTE: Only certified and trained service personnel may install the system.
To avoid serious incidents and anticipate any potential equipment failures, regular
maintenance should be performed as outlined in both the Operator’s Manual and Service
Manual.
Because serious incidents can include reoccuring equipment failures that may potentially
cause an injury, equipment failures must be reported and handled immediately.
1.4.7.3 Legal Responsibility

IDC’s primary responsibility is to ensure safety and well-being of patients, customers, and
staff. Regulatory action may be required after IDC is informed of a serious incident and IDC
has verified an equipment failure or equipment deterioration. Depending on the severity of the
incident, regulatory authorities must be notified within 24 to 48 hours.
1.4.7.4 Reporting Procedure

Immediately report a serious incident by:
1. Clearly and explicitly notifying your IDC contact. The IDC contact will notify his manager
and the IDC Quality Department.
2. Notify your manager. Your manager will spread awareness of the incident and ensure a
proper response from senior staff.
3. Send an e-mail to the IDC Help Desk (service@imagingdynamics.com) and/or submit an
entry into the IDC tracking system. Include the names and dates of people you have
notified.
4. Call IDC Service at 1-866-975-6737
NOTE: It is the reporting service technician’s responsibility to ensure the proper people are
notified of the serious incident.

1.7 IDC Magellan 3 Software

IDC Magellan 3 is a software program that uses the latest digital imaging and processing
techniques to acquire, store, retrieve, transmit, and print medical images for immediate
review and disposition.
For more information on the workstation, refer to the Dell Reference Guide.
1.7.1 Indications For Use
The IDC Magellan 3 Application is an accessory to 1600 systems used for patients
undergoing x-ray examinations.
The IDC Magellan 3 Application is intended to acquire images from an IDC system,
display the images for viewing or reviewing, and transmit the images to a PACS (Picture
Archiving and Communications System) for image archiving or to a DICOM (Digital
Imaging and Communications in Medicine) compliant printer. It is intended for use by
radiation technologists, physicians, and other medical personnel qualified to perform
medical examinations.
To avoid unintentional loss of data, it is recommended that the contents of the
workstation's hard drive be backed up nightly. The amount of data on the system may vary
from 5 GB to 160 GB; therefore, it is important to select an appropriate back-up medium.
For facilities using a PACS, the PACS acts a back-up for image data; however, an
appropriate back-up to tape or external hard-drive must be used for applications or
configuration files. Facilities not using a PACS should back-up all data to a tape or
external hard drivee.

WARNING! Keep a minimum distance of 2 meters from the focal spot and x-ray beam
when operating or servicing x-ray equipment. Ensure the body is protected
and do not expose any parts of the body to the primary beam.
WARNING! Ensure there are no objects on the C-arm and Detector Head surface before
powering on the unit.
WARNING! When operating motorized equipment in preparation for loading the patient,
place wheelchair patients outside the patient environment until the
equipment is in the desired position.
WARNING! After adjusting the hospital bed and tabletop to the same height, place the
bed in contact with the table to avoid any potential risk of injury when
loading the patient.

2 - 4 • 1600 Operations • Introduction
WARNING! Carefully monitor the system’s movements. Avoid any impact of the system on
the floor, ceiling, or other elements in the room as this may cause serious damage
to the equipment.
WARNING! To avoid injury to patients, carefully monitor the unit’s movements and ensure
that patient’s feet, hands, fingers, etc. are kept away from any mobile
components of the unit. Route any intravenous tubing, catheters and other patient
connections lines away from moving equipment.
WARNING! Ensure that you have inserted the grid properly. The grid type sticker is on the
front surface of the grid.
WARNING! When removing the grid from the grid drawer, ensure the grid is held securely by
its handle to prevent the grid from falling. Failing to have a secure grip on the
grid by its handle may cause injury to the operator and patient or may damage the
equipment.
WARNING! Prolonged lighting without allowing the lamp to cool causes the collimator to
overheat in the internal area near the lamp.
WARNING! Never attempt to clean any part of the unit when it is switched on. Always switch
off the equipment and isolate the mains electrical supply before cleaning.
WARNING! Service must only be carried out by qualified, trained service personnel. Physical
injury or damage to the equipment can result from untrained personnel
attempting maintenance without supervision.
WARNING! Operators may not be in contact with a patient and non-medical equipment
within the room if the equipment has covers removed for routine maintenance.
WARNING! Patients shall not be in the room when routine maintenance is being performed
on medical or non-medical equipment by service personnel.
WARNING! The collimator should not be open beyond the image receptor area of
43 x 43 cm (17 x 17 in). The beam is not to extend past the face plate of the
detector head. The technologist must ensure that the collimation beam is smaller
than the imaging area.
CAUTION! The technologist must ensure the proper technique is used for each procedure so
that the Focal Spot to Skin Distance is as large as possible. This ensures that the
absorbed dose to the patient is a as low as reasonably possible. In normal use, the
focal spot to skin distance should be greater than 45 cm.
CAUTION! Crushing hazards may occur between the C-arm and the Detector Head.
CAUTION! For scheduled departmental power tests, the main power should be turned off
until testing is complete.

CAUTION! Take care when handling the grid. Bending or dropping the grid will easily
damage it. A damaged grid may compromise image quality.
CAUTION! Do not allow patients or operations personnel to pull themselves up from a

sitting or lying position using the patient handles or any other part of the unit.
NOTE: The appropriate use of grid or non-grid imaging standards should be consistent
with the established medical imaging standards in your institution.
NOTE: The technologist must adjust the position of the collimator so the cross hairs of
the collimator line up with the applicable anatomy being imaged. The center of
the cross hairs of the collimator is the centre of the x-ray source.
NOTE: If the SID is adjustable, the SID should be adjusted and displayed on the
equipment prior to loading or positioning patient. The SID cannot differ by more
than 5% from the value indicated on the collimator, for normal use.
NOTE: A table on the front of the collimator, enables the technologist to determine, prior
to loading, the extent of x-ray fields for normal use. The dimensions for
appropriate SID (centimeters) indicate appropriate collimator settings.
NOTE: The x-ray beam is limited by using the controls on the front panel of the
collimator, depending on the SID chosen and the study being performed.
Carefully setting the beam will prevent the beam from falling outside the
boundary of the face plate. Careful collimation is important to ensure acceptable
dose/benefit balances is achieved.
NOTE: Power to the unit should be on prior to starting the Magellan 3 Application.
NOTE: If the Unit remains blocked, the lock light comes on continuously. The unit can
be moved by pressing and holding the Safety Lock button and then pressing the
movement button required.
NOTE: In case of a bump or collision of any type, please position the Arm in Horizontal
position and medium height, then turn OFF the Unit. Wait two minutes and turn
the Unit ON to allow the system to perform a self test that will apply correct
values.

2 - 28 • 1600 Operations • Tube Collimator
2.14 Tube Collimator
WARNING! Ensure the x-ray tube is placed into the appropriate working position with the
reference axis (x-ray beam) directed towards the reception area.
NOTE: A table on the front of the collimator, enables the technologist to determine, prior to
loading, the extent of x-ray fields for normal use. The dimensions for appropriate SID
are indicated with settings for collimator settings.
NOTE: The x-ray beam is limited by using the knobs on the front panel of the collimator.
This x-ray beam required is indicated on table on the front panel, depending on the
SID chosen and the study being performed. Carefully setting the beam will prevent
the beam from falling outside the boundary of the face plate. Careful collimation is
important to ensure acceptable dose/benefit balances is achieved.
2.14.1 Collimator Assembly Positioning
The Tube-Collimator Assembly is equipped with a blocking system consisting of a lock-lever

and a ratchet. To change the angle position of the Tube-Collimator Assembly in relation to its
transverse axis, loosen the lock-lever and lift the ratchet. The rotation angle will be shown on
the frontal inclinometer. The ratchet has position detents every 45º. See Figure 2-18.
Figure 2-18
2.14.2 Collimator Controls
The Collimator consists of a push button to switch on the Collimator lamp and two knobs to
open or close the internal blades of the Collimator. (Refer to Collimator manuals.)
After pressing the button of the lamp, the Collimator lamp remains illuminated for a few
seconds before it automatically switches off the lamp.
WARNING! Prolonged lighting without allowing the lamp to cool causes the collimator to
overheat in the internal area near the lamp.
The exposure field on the Detector is adjusted by setting the two knobs. The table on the Front
Panel shows the number to set with the knobs to open the blades according to the SID and
cassette size to be used. See Figure 2-19.

1600 Operations • Tube Collimator • 2 - 29
Figure 2-19
WARNING! The collimator should not be open beyond the image receptor area of
43 x 43 cm (17 x 17 in). The beam is not to extend past the face plate of the
detector head. The technologist must ensure that the collimation beam is
smaller than the imaging area. See Figure 2-20.
Figure 2-20
NOTE: The technologist must adjust the position of the collimator so the cross hairs of
the collimator line up with the applicable anatomy being imaged. The center of
the cross hairs of the collimator is the centre of the x-ray source.
2.14.3 Warm-up Tube Procedure
2.14.3.1 Scope
This procedure is to be performed at the beginning of each day or after each time the x-ray
unit has been off for two hours or more. It is necessary to warm-up the machine before
making full exposures to prolong tube life and to ensure standard output.

2 - 30 • 1600 Operations • Tube Collimator
2.14.3.2 Procedure
1. Turn on the x-ray unit.
2. Close the collimator blades fully shut.
3. Set the following technique: 60 kVp, 50 mA, 2000 ms, and small focal spot. If these
settings cannot be achieved, choose the closest setting.
4. Take an exposure, then wait for 30 seconds.
5. Increase the kVp in 20 kVp steps up to 120 kVp, taking an exposure at each step. Wait for

1600 Operations • Anticrushing System • 2 - 31
2.15 Anticrushing System

The Unit has
• Light beams installed in the C-arm that stop motion if the light beam is cut.
• A Safety Device that reacts to any inadvertent bump to the Arm Assembly (Anticrush-
ing System).
The Safety Device is designed to protect the patient or object, should the arm come in
contact. In the rare case of a collision with the arm, it will automatically stop and then
reverse (in low speed for 1.5 seconds in rotational movement or for 3 seconds in a vertical
movement).
The following is an explanation of when the unit stops or reverses.
Anticrushing System: If the Anticrushing System is activated when the arm of the C-arm
is moving down or rotating, it will always reverse the movement, to avoid hitting
something between the detector and the floor. See Figure 2-21.
Figure 2-21
If the Anticrushing System is activated when the arm of the C-arm is moving up, it will
reverse or stop depending on the following situations.
• The system only reverses down automatically when the Anticrushing System is acti-
vated and the angle is between --30º and 50º (the angle interval where the detector
could be under the table). In every other case it stops. See Figure 2-22.
Figure 2-22

4.13.4 Manipulating Images in an Open Study
You can apply image processing techniques to an image, which include adjusting contrast
and brightness, flipping, rotating, mirroring, applying markers, and shuttering. See Figure
4-94.
A study previously sent to a Send Destination cannot be manipulated. If it is necessary to
manipulate an image that was previously sent, copy the image and manipulate the copied
image.
Figure 4-94
An explanation of each processing technique follows.
4.13.4.1 Adjusting the Contrast and Brightness of an Image

Contrast controls the shades of grey in the image and Brightness controls how light or dark
the image is.
Brightness and contrast can be adjusted in the following ways:
• Select a set Look Up Table (LUT) such as ICE LUT (Image Contrast Enhancement Look
Up Table). See Figure 4-95.
Figure 4-95
• Create a Custom LUT. When an ICE LUT is selected and you change contrast and bright-
ness in an image, a new Custom LUT is created.
• Select W/L for simple contrast and brightness adjustments. All image points with intensi-
ties outside the range defined by Window Width and Window Level are displayed black if
the point is too dark and white if the point is too light. Window Width and Window Level
are linear LUTs.
4.13.4.1.1 To Adjust the Brightness and Contrast using the ICE Values
Magellan 3 ICE LUT uses an Anatomy and Projection Pair to process an image to produce
an ICE LUT. While the Window Width and Window Level is a linear LUT, the ICE LUT
generally is a curved LUT.
To adjust the brightness and contrast using the ICE value select ICE LUT from the
drop-down list.
4.13.4.1.2 To Adjust the Brightness and Contrast using the Custom LUT
1. Select ICE LUT from the drop-down list.
2. With the mouse cursor on the image right-click.
3. Use either of the options to adjust the brightness and contrast:
• Hold down the mouse button, drag left (less contrast) or right (more contrast) to
adjust the contrast. Alternatively, drag up (brighter) or down (darker) to adjust the
brightness. A new Custom LUT is created.
• Select the Brightness and Contrast button to display the brightness and contrast slid-
ers. Drag the contrast slider up (more contrast) or down (less contrast) to adjust the
contrast. Alternatively, drag the brightness slider up (brighter) or down (darker) to
adjust the brightness. See Figure 4-96. A new Custom LUT is created.

4.13.4.1.3 To Adjust the Brightness and Contrast using the W/L

1. Select W/L from the drop-down list.
2. With the mouse cursor on the image right-click.
3. Use either of the options to adjust the brightness and contrast:
• Hold down the mouse button, drag left (less contrast) or right (more contrast) to
adjust the contrast. Alternatively, drag up (brighter) or down (darker) to adjust the
brightness. A new Custom LUT is created.
• Select the Brightness and Contrast button to display the brightness and contrast slid-
ers. Drag the contrast slider up (more contrast) or down (less contrast) to adjust the
contrast. Alternatively, drag up (brighter) or down (darker) to adjust the brightness. See
Figure 4-96 above. The values are then adjusted.
4.13.4.2 Reprocessing an Image

Using the Visual Parameter Editor, you can reprocess an image so the processing values of a
different parameter level and a different patient size are applied to the image. Reprocessing an
image does not change the actual anatomy reported on the Send Destination. If an image is
taken with the wrong anatomy and projection, you can reprocess it.
4.13.4.2.1 To Open the Visual Parameter Editor
NOTE: Sent images cannot be reprocessed or modified. Copied images may by reprocessed
and modified.
1. Display the image in the image viewing area. See Figure 4-97.
Figure 4-97
2. Select the Reprocess Image button (see Figure 4-98).
Figure 4-98
NOTE: Reprocessing will remove any existing shutter, crop, markers, points, and text
annotations; however, VIPER will open the image with any masks or rotations
applied in the study. The mask in Figure 4-97 appears in Figure 4-100.
3. A dialog box will prompt for you to confirm the task. See Figure 4-99 and Figure 4-
100.
Figure 4-99
Figure 4-100
4.13.4.2.2 To Edit the Parameters in the Visual Parameter Editor

1. From the Visual Parameter Editor., select one of the options from the Contrast Control
drop-down list (Figure 4-101):
Figure 4-101
• Select ICE LUT to create the default LUT for an image with that anatomy/projection/
level/size. Modifying the brightness, contrast, and straightness will create a default ICE
LUT that is used when an exposure is first created.
• Selecting Window Level (W/L) from the drop-down list will display the image with a
window level based on the current brightness and contrast parameters.
2. The Contrast Parameters can be modified by using the buttons on the right side of the
editor. See Table 4-1 for explanations of each contrast parameter.
Table 4-1
Contrast Parameters Description
Brightness Determines the brightness of an image. Minus one indicates a

dark image, whereas Plus one indicates a bright image.
Contrast Determines the contrast of an image. The higher the number

the lower the contrast.

4.13.5 Stitching Images
The stitching tool allows two to four images to be combined into one new image. Points
selected on each image indicates how the images will be joined. When the images are
stitched and a new image is created, it is added to the study and displayed in the
Thumbnail list.
NOTE: For best results, images should be acquired in the same order as they are going to
be stitched.
4.13.5.1 To Stitch Images

1. In the Thumbnail list select the thumbnail’s number button of each of the images you want
to stitch. The current orientation of the image in the AI will be used when stitching the
image. See Figure 4-127.
Figure 4-127
2. Select the Stitch button (Figure 4-128) to open the Magellan 3 Image Stitcher. See Figure
4-129.
Figure 4-128
NOTE: When the stitch button is selected, images are automatically cropped to the bounding
box of the mask.
Figure 4-129
A Thumbnail list in the Image Stitcher displays the images to be stitched. The first two
images are displayed side-by-side in the main viewing area.
3. Before stitching two images, you can select the blending mode for stitching. The
blending mode is based on the value of a pixel in the image. A pixel is the smallest part
of a digitized or digital image. A complete image is made of a rectangular array of
pixels. A pixel will have a value from 0 and 4095. The options for blending modes are
as follows:
• Average (Default) - Selects a pixel from each image and takes the average of the
pixels to create a new value.
• Min - Selects a pixel from each image and chooses the minimum pixel value.
• Random - Selects a pixel from each image and randomly chooses one of the pixel
values.
• Max - Selects a pixel from each image and chooses the maximum pixel value.
• None - Chooses the pixel value from the second image selected.
To select a blending mode, select the mode from the Average drop-down list.
4. Select a point on each image to indicate where the two images will be joined. A green
square is displayed on each image at the selection point.

6. To adjust the stitch point on the preview, do one of the following:

• Using the directional arrows – This adjustment of the stitch point should only be used
for minor corrections. Select one of the non-overlapping areas to activate the
directional arrows on the right side of the screen. The selected area will be highlighted
by a green selection box. See Figure 4-131. The directional arrows can be used to
move the green selection box from 1, 10, 50 and 100 pixel increments in the direction
of the arrow using either the keyboard or the mouse. To increase the acceleration of
the adjustment select and hold the desired arrow button. To reset the movement of the
directional arrows, release the button and select again. Once the box has been moved
to the desired area, release the arrow button to preview the image.
• Dragging the selection – This adjustment of the stitch point is used for larger
corrections. Select one of the non-overlapping areas to activate the image to be
moved. The selected area will be highlighted by a green selection box. Move the green
selection box by clicking and dragging the box to the desired area. Release the mouse
to preview the image.
7. When you are satisfied with the stitching do one of the following:
• Select Finish if stitching only two images. Finish completes the stitching by
translating the selected points to the correct location on the raw images and stitching
the raw images together on the points. The Anatomy and Projection Selection dialog
box prompts you to select the Anatomy, Projection, Level, Size and Laterality of the
stitched image. One the selections have been made, select OK. A new image is then
added to the study and displayed in the Thumbnail list.
• Select Next if stitching three to four images. When you select Next on the first preview
you return to the point selection stage with images two and three displayed. Repeat the
process by selecting the stitching points of these two images. Selecting Next displays a
preview where the stitch points can be adjusted as before. Repeat this process until all
stitching points have been defined. When the last pair have been stitched, the preview
stage displays the Finish button. Select Finish to complete the stitch operation. The
Anatomy and Projection Selection dialog box will prompt you to select the Anatomy,
Projection, Level, and Laterality of the stitched image. One the selections have been made,
select OK.
NOTE: The cancel button is always visible and allows the stitching to be cancelled at any
point prior to selecting Finish.
NOTE: The image resulting from a stitch operation can be manipulated in the Magellan
Acquisition Interface as any other image.

4.16 The Worklist Manager

The Worklist Manager operates as an intermediary between the Magellan 3 AI and two
possible information sources. Depending on your site’s configuration the Worklist
Manager can accept studies in two ways:
• A scheduled study from a DICOM worklist provider. This is typically a component of
a Hospital's Information System (HIS) or Radiology Information System (RIS).
• An unscheduled study that is manually entered at the workstation, as in a drop in or an
anonymous study.
The Worklist Manager communicates the status of performed studies back to the
respective sources. As studies are performed in Magellan 3, they are removed from the
Worklist Manager's scheduled studies list and added to the Performed Studies list. The
status of any scheduled study is communicated to the Worklist Provider via Modality
Performed Procedure Step (MPPS).
4.16.1 The Scheduled Studies Interface
You can perform the following operations on the Scheduled Studies interface:
• View and refresh the Scheduled Studies list.
• Sort and filter the Scheduled Studies list.
• Add a study by entering information about a patient.
• Change and remove a study that was manually added to the Worklist.
4.16.1.1 Viewing the Scheduled Studies List

The Scheduled Studies list includes Foldering, which orders the studies into a grid that is
grouped by patient name, date, and study. See Figure 4-165 below. Under each patient
name is the date of their scheduled study, and the study description. If a patient has more
than one study to be completed, the additional studies are listed by date and study below
the patient name.

4.20 The Detector Status

The Detector Status has the following functions:
• To communicate with the Detector Head.
• To determine which Detector Head is going to be used.
Magellan 3 can communicate with one or two Detector Heads. The Detector Status will
display one indicator if one Detector Head is used and two indicators if two Detector
Heads are used. See Figure 4-186.
Figure 4-186
The TEC Controller Manager is part of the Detector Status and monitors the cooling status
of the camera. If an indicator is displayed in green, the camera is ready to use. If an
indicator is displayed in red, the camera must cool off before it can be used.
Moving the mouse cursor over the icon on the Application Launcher displays a tooltip
indicating the status of the TECCM for each detectors.
Selecting the Detector Status Icon will open the following dialog box directing you to

4.21 The Disk Space Monitor

The Disk Space Monitor monitors the amount of free space available on the image drive. The
Disk Space Monitor, located on the Application Launcher, is always running in the
background. The Disk Space Monitor icon and its associated status are updated as the
situation changes.
4.21.1 To Display the Disk Space of a Specific Hard Drive
Position the mouse cursor over the Disk Space Monitor icon. A tooltip appears, showing the
amount of available disk space on the image drive. An example would be “Space on drive d:
for 124 images.”
4.21.2 Understanding the Disk Space Monitor Icons
The color and appearance of the Disk Space Monitor icon indicates the state of the disk space
on a specific hard drive. For example, a typical level might display a caution when there is
only space for 500 images, or 5 days of work. Take action to free additional space soon, within
a day or two of this indicator turning yellow.
The levels are
• Green indicates the space available on the hard drive to store images is sufficient and no
action is required. See Figure 4-188.
Figure 4-188
• Yellow indicates a Caution Level, meaning there is some concern about the free space
available for image storage. This level is specified in the Disk Space Monitor
Configuration. See Figure 4-189.
Figure 4-189
• Red indicates an Urgent Level, meaning the free space remaining may be insufficient for
more than a day’s work. Action must be taken today to increase the available space. See
Figure 4-190.
Figure 4-190
Magellan 3 Operations • The Disk Space Monitor • 4 - 117
• Red and Blue Flashing indicates a Panic Level, meaning there is insufficient space to
continue operating. For example, there may be space for only ten more images or five
minutes of work. Immediate remedial action is required. See Figure 4-191.
Figure 4-191
WARNING! If the Disk Space Monitor is flashing from blue to red, a Drive Space Panic
message appears every 30 seconds prompting you to contact your local
support staff for information on off-loading some images to make room on
the hard drive.
