System Composition & Technical Specifications
The system consists of a main unit, a monitor, probes and peripheral devices. The main
unit includes a probe interface board, a T/R Moudle, a Digital Signal Processing Moudle, a
power board, a computer, a control panel (console) and an ATX power supply. See Fig.
1-1. This system can be connected with 4 probes at the same time. By using the circuitry
on the probe interface to switch the probes, the user may select the required probe via the
control panel.

System Composition & Technical Specifications
The Digital Signal Processing Moudle on the one hand transmits digital image signals to
the computer control system, on the other hand receives control information from the
computer control system and generates corresponding control data to achieve control of
the ultrasound T/R front end.
Based on control actions from the control panel, the computer control system generals
control commands and parameter data automatically. The Digital Signal Processing
Moudle receives commands and control parameters from the computer control platform,
distributes them to each functional module.
The real-time controller on the Digital Signal Processing Moudle generates live scan
control signals and controls transmission of the front-end T/R controller. And the front-end
T/R controller is in charge of T/R control of ultrasound according to the requirements of
scan control synchronized signals from the system.
The beam-forming module on the Digital Signal Processing Moudle receives amplified
echo signals from the Probe Interface Board and performs digital beam forming, then
sends beam data to the subsequent processing module. As a key technique, digital signal
processing plays an important role in ultrasound systems. This technology ensures image
information being transmitted and converted with high fidelity; and it will have further
processing to acquire better images, which is conducive to correct diagnosis by doctors.
Data information such as image data processed by digital signals is sent to the control
platform through data channels on the Interface Board for further processing and image
display.
Every time when ultrasound is transmitted, the excitation high-voltage from the T/R
Module generates and sends a set of excitation pulses to the current working probe. One
element group in the transducer is excited and ultrasound is transmitted. Sound wave is
propagated in and reflected by the tissue, and the ultrasound returned to the probe is
received by the same element group and then sent to the preamplifier on the T/R Module
for pre-amplification, depth gain compensation and programmable gain amplification.
After this process, signals are sent to the Digital Signal Processing Module.
The powers required by the system are provided by the power module.
Based on operator button actions, relevant information is sent to the control panel to the
control platform. The platform generates control commands and parameter data
1-2
System Composition & Technical Specifications
automatically, and sends them to the modules involved. The control platform is the
managerial center of the whole system, which receives operation command from the
control panel, and control the whole system based on the current state of the system. The
other functions that the control platform fulfills also include measurement and calculation,
screen display and video processing, management of patient data and image, as well as
control of storage, printing and communication.

The main function of the Power Supply Module is to transform AC power input into
different DC voltages required by the system. The system consists of computer part and
ultrasound part, both of which have their own special requirements, so the power supply is
also divided into ATX power supply and DC-DC power supply (Fig. 2-4). ATX power
supply is for the computer part, one +12V DC power from ATX power supply is for DC-DC
power, and is transformed by the DC-DC power into different voltages required by the
ultrasound part and supplied to it. In Table 1, the specific standard voltages for each test

If any failure occurs on the DC-DC power board, firstly check if voltage input and output of
each group is normal. If abnormal, check if the abnormality comes from power output itself
or from abnormal loading. Here is the detailed instruction: when abnormality happens on
the system and it is determined that the failure comes from this PCB, disassemble the
system, measure the voltage of each test point and compare with Table1. If certain voltage
is different from the value in Table 1, try to disconnect the DC-DC Power Supply Board
and the Digital Signal Processing Board, measure the voltage again. If the voltage
complies with the value in Table 1, it can be determined that the voltage decreases due to
other PCBs. If all the output voltages are abnormal when measuring each test point, the
input voltage issue shall be considered. Disconnect the power supply board from the ATX
power supply and separately start up the ATX power supply. Then measure the sockets
connecting the ATX power supply and the power supply board to check whether the
output voltage is normal (normal voltage is +12V±0.6V). If the output value is normal, then
The following (but not limited to the following) failures may be found:
a) The system cannot start up (failure comes from ATX power supply).
b) The system can start up, but then restart and power off.

The Main Control Panel (KB Board) serves as an end-user operation interface, providing
operation objects such as keys, trackball, knobs and TGC sliders. When the user operates
these objects, the control panel will detect these actions, convert them into agreed signals
and send them to the computer module for corresponding processing. On the other hand,
the backlight on the control panel is controlled by software. When the software sends
control commands, the control panel receives these commands and thus controls the
backlight.

Software Maintenance
If the failure is due to unsuccessful installation of the driver, reinstall the driver and restart
the system.
If the two wires are connected reversely, remove the machine enclosure, swap the two
wires reconnect and fix them properly. (This step shall be operated by a professional
technician.)
If the two wires are loosen, remove the machine enclosure, re-insert and fix them properly.
a) Symptom: The imaging 3D volumes are all composed of the same frame data.
When holding the probe by hand, the user cannot feel the probe swinging.
Cause: The 4D probe does not swing due to failure in drive circuit initialization.
a) Mark down the time when the failure occurred. It would be better to mark down
the failure time as accurate as minute, and see if the clock in the system stops.
b) If there is any sound like “di, di” from the probe, record the situation in details;
d) Unplug the probe, observe the system; re-plug the probe and observe the system
again. Record the system status in details, and see if the failure is improved or
fixed.
