1.1 General
The communication are established via a bidirectional full duplex software protocoll.
Only one data set for each telegram. The receiver send a acknowledge sequence if the
telegram was ok. Was a communication error detected ('bcc' wrong or hardware error) the
receiver send a not acknowledge. In this case the transmitter sends the telegram again. Is
there no reply from the receiver after a timeout of 500msec the telegram is send again. Is
there no response after 5 seconds a transmit or receive error is generated.
In addition to the serial port there is a safety loop (‚NOT‘) through generator, control desk,
AEC and device interface. This loop stops xray at hardware.
To start and stop x-ray two wires supported for AEC and device control.
It's possible to install a control device or a PC to replace the control desk.

In this case the exposure button, the power on logic and the safety loop (‚NOT‘) has to be
realized by hardware.

1.2.2 Parameter
8 bit ASCII asynchron
1..2 stop bits
no parity
4800..38400 baud(depends on wire length)
1.2.3 Telegram
The telegram consist of 3 ‚syn‘ characters followed by a ‚stx‘, a set of data, a ‚etx‘ and at last a
checksum byte ‚bcc‘. The data includes the telegram information. The checksum byte ‚bcc‘ is
generated via ‚xor‘ logic started after ‚stx‘ and inclusive ‚etx‘.
transmitter: ‘syn syn syn stx data etx bcc‘
receiver: answers with ‘syn syn syn stx ack etx bcc‘ if checksum was ok
or with ‘syn syn syn stx nak etx bcc‘ if checksum was wrong.
Characters:
control: 02 hex stx - start of text
03 hex etx - end of text
06 hex ack – acknowledge
15 hex nak - not acknowledge
16 hex syn - synchronisation
data: 20 - ff hex data - max. 60 characters
checksum: 00 - ff hex bcc - xor control checksum
A data set is leaded by device identifier (see table 1) followed by a 1 or 2 byte command
followed by command specific data.
example, command kV data (70kV) to control desk:

16h | 16h | 16h | 02h | 43h | 44h | 41h | 37h | 30h | 03h | 42h
1.2.4 Data traffic

The data dialogue takes place in full-duplex mode. Only one logical data record (command)
can be transferred in one telegram. This is then confirmed by the positive feedback. A further
telegram may be sent only after a positive acknowledgement of the preceding telegram. If it
should come to a negative acknowledgement (bcc incorrectly), the telegram is repeated. If no
feedback should take place, the telegram is transferred again after a timeout of 500ms. If no
feedback should have taken place after 5s, a sending-or an receipt-timeout-error is indicated.

1.3.5.2 Command 'R', reset

command
The control desk(device) answers with command ‚R‘ after
reception of command ‚R‘ from generator or after warm start
of control desk.
- is the generator at OFF state at this time the generator
grows up to standby state (contactors K1 and K2 switches
on).
- is the generator at standby state and the command doesn’t
come from the active control desk the generator is waiting for
a new control device or control desk, after 2 seconds the
generator is ready to work with the new control desk. If the
generator is receiving a ‚R‘ command within these 2 seconds
the generator falls back to the old control desk.

1.4 Exposure data from generator to practice system
1.4.1 General
The data transfered only one way from generator via control desk to the practice system or
printer.
There is no special protocoll, a simple ASCII string is transmitted with 'carriage return‘ and 'line
feed‘. The same way as a terminal program or printer would data receive.
Connect the control desk with the practice system by a RS232 cable.
Setup the generator with 'CONFIG.EXE': dialog 'Device' within menu 'Settings'
- choose Device 29 ('Patient system')
- enable device
- Communication channel : COM3 (same as device 32 ('Editor Desk'))
- routed to : COM1 (channel of connector 'XG‘ within control desk)
- Communcation baudrate : COM_BAUD_9600 (for example)
- Device types – special : Dig-Sys 1 (for example)
With these settings the patient data are transmitted from generator via control desk to the
practice system.
1.4.2 Data format

1.4.2.1 Version 1, Star Printer:
Formatted set of exposure data to the printer, initiated with key 'pen‘ (patient change) :
Date : dd.mm.yyyy or mm.dd.yyyy CR LF
Exposures : n (number of exposures since last patient change) CR LF
Current time product : nnn.n (mAs since last patient change) CR LF
Dose area product : nnn.n (cGycm² since last patient change) CR LF
Fluoroscopy runtime : mm:ss (fluoroscopy time in min:sec since last patient change) CR LF
1.4.2.2 Version 2, MRT System:

Formatted set of exposure data to the MRT system, initiated with key 'pen‘ (patient change) :
as Version 1 with additional data of each exposure:
date : kV, mAs CR LF
1.4.2.3 Version 3, Digital system 1 (Dig-Sys 1):

Formatted set of exposure data to the digital system, sended after each exposure :
If no error:
date:cGycm²;kV;mAs;mA;ms CR LF
If error (xx = errornumber):
date:cGycm²;kV;mAs;mA;ms CR LF
Error CR LF
