RESUMO
Objective To realize foot switch long-distance control of PC for medical image acquisition. Methods The foot switch was connected with PC through RS232 DB9 port, and the software was programmed by Microsoft Visual C++6.0 on Windows 2000 operating system. Results Foot switch control of PC was successfully achieved in acquiring medical images. Conclusion The foot switch has the advantages of long-distance and foot control of PC. It not only saves manpower but ensures the accuracy and real time of images acquired. This method can be applied to image acquisition workstations for medical equipments such as CT apparatus, X-ray apparatus, Ultrasound apparatus, Endoscope apparatus and so on.
RESUMO
Objective To transform the equipment with traditional RS232 interface into that with CAN connection interface.Methods On the CAN main line,node is the station for information receiving and transmission in the network.The intelligent node can establish the work way ID,the address and the baud rate through the programming.It is mainly composed by the singlechip and the programmable CAN correspondence controller.Results The hardware and software were designed.SJA1000 initialization,transmission and receiving subroutines are including in the software design.Conclusion CAN is a kind of excellent field bus with high reliability,low cost and has been applied in many fields.It has already formed the international standard and been viewed as one of the most widely used field buses in future.Lots of traditional equipment with RS232 interface are facing the problem of CAN interface transformation.
RESUMO
Objective To help the operator to find the alarm of Siemens StreamLab as quickly as possible. Methods Based on serial port control with VB 6.0 program, the system can catch the change of the control screen's special point and control the serial port to change the condition of the appointed pin to get a DC voltage to turn the LED on. Results The translation was implemented from screen icon alarm to LED alarm. Conclusion The LED alarm system can help the operator to observe the alarm of Siemens StreamLab promptly.
