1. INTRODUCTION
Test systems are service test units for the ultrasonic diagnostic
equipment model SSA-340A.
This manual explains the diagnostic procedures.
Furthermore, since certain PWBs can be checked only if the system

operates normally, it is necessary to perform testing in the following
order.
(1) CPU unit
(2) RPG
(3) DSC unit
(4) T/R unit
(5) FFT unit
(6) CFM unit
(7) PANEL unit
l-1

2. OUTLINE OF THE TEST SYSTEM
If a malfunction occurs, the test system will indicate the test results
with respect to PWBs and PWB blocks, identifying those which are
responsible for the malfunction by displaying error codes. Alternately,
the test system will indicate a pattern which permits assessment of the
quality of each block.
Tests principally involve the CPU unit, PANEL unit, RPG, DSC unit, T/R ;2-----_
unit, FFT unit, and CFM unit. Although not all units are included, it is
possible to test the basic units required for generating an image.
Therefore, troubleshooting is expedited if the test system succeeds in
helping identify faulty units.
Furthermore, at the time of maintenance and checking it is possible to

assess changes in ultrasonic wave transmission which-are difficult to
observe during- the normal service period; degradation of system
performance; and memory errors of any addresses caused by faulty
reception.
In addition, there are guidelines for test performance frequency. This

is useful for checking faults that occur infrequently, caused by RS-232C
communication errors.
2.1 Configuration of the Test System
This test system is incorporated in the main unit of the diagnostic

ultrasound system.
This manual describes the operating procedures for the test system.
2.2 Diagnostic Items and-Nature of Tests in the Test System
PWBs which are tested by the test system are shown in figure 2-1 to
figure 2-3. Details concerning each test item are given in tables 2-1
and 2-2.

2.3 Test Modes (ALL, SUB)
(1) ALL mode (general-purpose test mode for beginners)
All tests are conducted using this test mode. Use this mode if the
faulty units are not identified.
This, however, takes a long time and requires several operations by ;2E
the serviceman to get the final diagnostic results.
(2) SUB mode (test mode for experts)
Use this test mode to conduct a specific test if the faulty sections
can be guessed from the symptoms.

3. TROUBLESHOOTING
Carry out tests to identify malfunctions according to the following

procedure:
(1) Preliminary survey
(2) Preparatory work (with the power off)
(3) Setting of the service mode
(4) Setting of the test mode (ALL, SUB mode)_
(5) Test
*(6) Identification of malfunction based on the error code table
Figure 3-l shows the flowchart for the above procedure.
Preliminary survey
Survey the stated problems not just by relying on information from the
customer, but also by checking carefully the status of each mode and
function. Problems that occur only occasionally cannot be identified by
the test system when it is not actually occurring.
(For tests which are controlled by the CPU, such as the check of the RS-
232C or the R/W of MM, the test system can provide a means of
reproducing the phenomenon by repeating the test sequence an unlimited
number of times.)

3.1 Preparatory Work
Prepare the required tools/devices (such as a return connector) in

accordance with the "Preparatory work" in section 4.
(ex. LOOP BACK CNN)
3.2 Operating Precautions for the Test Systems
(1) Before carrying out tests, the transducer shold be connected as

specified below. Do not pull out or connect a probe during the test
unless so instructed, otherwise a malfunction may occur.
1 TRANSDUCER C ) TRANSDUCER B I TRANSDUCER A
SSA-340A No connection Linear or convex transducer, PVF-375MT

or no connection
(2) A transient phenomenon is displayed while the test is being carried

out; however, this is not abnormal.
(3) The time, heart rate, PWR value, ID area and hospital name are not
erased. The ID indication is erased.
(4) Pressing (/LJI1

at the graphic check of the CPU may cause a blank area
on the upper right of the image; however, this is not abnormal
(Photo 3.2-l).
(5) Although most switches are disabled during the serviceman test, do
not press the following switches to avoid a malfunction:
l VCR SW (on the panel)

l Palm controller trackball
l Trackball (TRACK BALL FUNCTION)
(6) When the graphic check of the CPU is completed, either of the two
lines for time display may not be displayed; however, this is not
abnormal.
(7) Because peripheral devices may malfunction during testing,

disconnect the control cables of all peripheral devices during
testing. Alternatively, turn OFF the power of all peripheral
devices.
(8) Be sure to execute New Patient after the test has been completed.

4. FLOWCHARTS FOR IDENTIFYING MALFUNCTIONS
4.1 Identifying Faults in the CPU Unit
4.1.1 Preparatory work
The following preparatory work is required before carrying out the

tests for the CPU which are listed below:
(1) When the RS-232C interface is checked
(a) The power to the ultrasonic diagnostic equipment is switched

OFF.
(b) Connect the loopback connector to the PS-232C connector on the

bottom of the main panel of the diagnostic ultrasound
equipment.
For the loopback connector, use the connector to which the

following pins have been connected in the shell of the
DSUB-25s connector.
I) SD (pin 2) - RD (pin 3)
(c) The power to the ultrasonic diagnostic equipment is switched

ON, and the CPU test is selected.
4.1.2 Flowchart for identifying malfunctions
The flow of processing of the CPU test system is shown as a flowchart.

Figure 4.1-1 shows the processing flow of the entire CPU test system.
Since actual processing will proceed according to this flowchart when

the test system is operated, it is recommended that the fault be
diagnosed while confirming the processing currently being performed
with respect to the entire test system by referring to this flowchart.

The RPG test program is activated when the host CPU sets test scan
mode with respect to the RPG.
[Specification of test scan mode]
(1) Each enable signal is set to the enable condition sequentially for
each rate, as shown in the attached
_. timing chart.
(2) Focus
B : FO, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7 (6 step CF)
Ml : Fl
M2 : F2
(3) Number of B mode raster lines : 240
The raster address ranges from 0 to 239 in the upper 8 bits.
(4) M-mode position
Ml : 55 (H)
M2 : AA (H)
[Functions of the Host CPU]
(1) Sets test scan mode in the I/O port of the RPG.
(2) By setting data 0 --> 1 --> 0 in the I/O port #70/19 TSTSYNCl bit,
the leading edge of this signal serves as a trigger for generating
the rate once.
(3) Each time the rate is generated once, data is read from I/O port
#7O/lC, lD, and it is checked whether such data agrees with the
data shown in the attachment.
(4) For NG, the NG decision is made with respect to the signal in the
specific bit, and the signal name is indicated.
(5) By generating the rate 8 x 240 = 1920 times, one frame is

completed and DOFO is generated, thereby causing OF interruption
with respect to the CPU. The CPU completes the test upon
confirmation of this interruption.

(3) T/R R channel check (convex)
For the R channel check (convex), a reception check is performed

during convex operation. It is possible to identify possible
defective Pubs if the R channel check and reception check
interpolate each other. This check is based on transmission from
multiple elements and reception by a single element. The figure
below outlines this operation. Probe channels 1 to 4 and 125 to
128 cannot be checked due to limitations.

reception, and the initial echo pattern is displayed. This
pattern is a delay track for the specified channel when scanning
is performed for lines 0 to 239.
Check whether the initial echo pattern matches the graphic

pattern. If they do not match each other, there is a fault in the

4.6.4 Supplement
When starting this test system, the normal PANEL SW does not operate,
and quantitative evaluation is performed with the conditions limited
to the three GAIN levels.
The changes of the FFT spectrum display can be checked by operating

the PANEL SW as required as described below.
(1) PH.D OSC signal check (with the probe of 3.75MHZ and REFERENCE = M)
Turn off the test.

Place it in the PATCH input mode.
Write the following data.
R204000 @ W 1 @
R224000
04 0
W 80 4
R224044 04 wg0dJ (To release, write W 0 U

+Q .)
R204000 0&j w04

Release the PATCH input mode.
Now, the PANEL SW can be operated so changes in the image can be

checked with the SW functioning. (To release it, turn off the
power or write R224044 @ W 0 @.)
Notes: 1. This check can be applied to the COLOR (BDF, MDF) as

well as the PW Doppler.
2. The setting can be changed as required with the PANEL

SW. Saturation and too much narrowing prevent changing
some combinations.
(2) FFT CAL signal check
Turn [ON] FFT CAL using the service function.
Now, the PANEL SW can be operated to permit checking the operation

of the switch. (However, the analog unit control SW = FFT GAIN is
not working.)
