Hand Controller

The hand controller is used to position the gantry, table and detector. Furthermore, the hand
controller has buttons allowing you to start and stop an acquisition and to set up variable radius
tomography motion. A Collision Override button is also provided on the hand controller.
2.2.5

Acquisition PC

The acquisition PC is connected to CardioMD via the FireWire control interface. The acquisition
PC uses this interface to control detector motions and to receive corrected events from the
detector.
The gantry offers an isolated 115 V AC mains utility (max. 4 A) used for powering the acquisition
PC.
On Series III systems, the power cable to the acquisition PC is routed internally. Furthermore, an
III
ECG gate can be powered from the connector panel on the rear of the table console.
On Series I and II systems, the acquisition PC is powered from the connector panel on the side of
I, II
the table console.
Note. The acquisition PC must not be powered from any other source than the gantry power
supply. The reason for this is that the PC is considered a patient contact device, and electrical
problems stemming from an alternate power source may place either the patient's and/or the
operator's safety at risk.
