About This Manual iScan Coreo Au User Manual
Terms Used in this Manual

button Sometimes called a command button or push button, it provides a simple way to trigger an event
or interact with dialog boxes. A typical button is a round-rect or rectangle, wider than it is tall,
with a descriptive caption in its center. The most common method of pressing a button is clicking
it with a pointer controlled by a mouse. A button is not always a rectangular shape. The sole
requirement of button interaction is that a command can be executed by a mousedown action.
Pictures and background areas can be programed as buttons.
desktop A desktop environment (sometimes desktop manager) offers a graphical user interface (GUI) to the
computer. A desktop typically provides icons, windows, tool bars, folders, wallpapers, and abilities
like drag and drop. The design and function of a desktop environment usually endow it with a
distinctive look and feel.
GLP: Good Lab Practice Generally refers to a system of management controls for laboratories and research organizations
to ensure the consistency and reliability of results as outlined in the OECD Principles of GLP and
national regulations. GLP embodies a set of principles that provides a framework within which
laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported and archived. GLP helps
assure regulatory authorities that the data submitted are a true reflection of the results obtained
during the study and can therefore be relied upon when making risk/safety assessments.
icon An image, picture, or representation. A sign or likeness that stands for an object by signifying or
representing it.
menu: drop-down and pull-down A menu is a list of commands presented to an operator by a computer or communications system.
They are primarily shortcuts to frequently used commands. A computer using a GUI presents menus
with a combination of text and symbols to represent choices. By clicking on one of the symbols,
the operator is selecting the instruction that the symbol represents. A context menu is a menu in
which the choices presented to the operator are automatically modified according to the current
context in which the operator is working. A common use of menus is to provide convenient access
to various operations such as saving or opening a file, quitting a program, or manipulating data.
Most interfaces provide a pull-down or pop-up menu. Pull-down menus are commonly used in menu
bars (usually near the top of a window or screen), which are most often used for performing
actions; pop-up menus are more likely to be used for setting a value, and might appear anywhere
in a window.
pane A pane is a sectioned window on a graphical display. Examples of this usage include a file browser
with multiple panels.
screen A computer display monitor, usually referred to as a monitor.
tab A navigational method for switching between documents. Traditionally designed as a text label
within a rectangular box with its top borders rounded. Activating a tab (usually by a mouse click)
makes its associated document visible and the tab itself usually becomes highlighted to distinguish
it from other inactive tabs. Generally, only one tab can be active at a time.
window A visual area, usually rectangular in shape, containing some kind of user interface, displaying the
output of and allowing input for one of a number of simultaneously running computer processes.
Windows are primarily associated with graphical displays, where they can be manipulated with a
pointer. A GUI that includes windows is called a windowing system.
workstation A high-end desktop or deskside microcomputer designed for technical applications. Workstations
are intended primarily to be used by one person at a time, although they can usually also be
accessed remotely by other users when necessary.

CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL MEMORY UPGRADES, DRIVERS, GRAPHIC, VIDEO CARDS, EXTERNAL DEVICES, OR ANY
OTHER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ON THE WORKSTATION CONNECTED TO THE SCANNER.
Such installations can interfere with the operation of the scanner. Contact Technical Support (Tel (USA): +1 800 227
2155, or Tel: +1 520 887 2155; for Technical Support, press 1) before installing any of the above items.
Cyber Security
Any device that is connected to a network (internally or externally) has the potential to be compromised by unauthorized access or
viruses. As with most devices, iScan Coreo Au is designed to run on a computer utilizing Microsoft Windows and virus protection
software which requires the validation and implementation of the appropriate patches.
To connect to iScan Coreo Live from outside the internal network, use virtual private network (VPN) access.
Some of the potential cyber security hazards are:

• Malicious software that alters the device software (such as viruses)
• Unauthorized access to the system that could compromise data safety
• Security of data transmitted over the internet
Cyber security involves protecting data by preventing, detecting, and responding to malicious cyber attacks. Cyber attacks could
involve computer viruses which can completely erase data or hackers who alter files or even use the device as a host to attack other
devices. As serious as these hazards are, steps can be taken to maximize cyber security.
User Authorization
All iScan Coreo Au users must login with a valid username and password. The username and password are securely transmitted in
encrypted form over the internet or intranet. Once a user has logged in, the user remains active in the application until the user
explicitly logs out, closes the browser (used with the Live application), or because the application closes after a period of inactivity.
Securing Networks and Servers
Network security consists of the provisions made in the computer network infrastructure, policies adopted by the network
administrator to protect the network, and the network resources that prevent unauthorized access.
The following are critical steps for securing a network server:

• Physical security (servers and network infrastructure behind locked doors)
• Use of robust passwords
• System and data backups (at regular intervals)
• Data protection
• Terminating unused services

• Restricting access to used services
The following are critical steps and methodologies used to secure network and servers:
• Data protection
• Data backups (at regular intervals)
• Refusal of automatic updates from off-the-shelf software
• Antivirus software for computers and servers
Protecting Data
Establishment of a network firewall and protection of the network against viruses using anti-virus software are effective methods to
protect data. Virus definitions should be kept up to date and regular scans of computers for spyware should be performed using a
legitimate anti-spyware application. If viruses or spyware are found, remove them immediately.
Evaluate Your Software Settings
The default settings of most software enable all available functionality. However, hackers may be able to take advantage of this
functionality to access devices. It is especially important to check the settings for software that connects to the internet (browsers,
email clients, etc.). Apply the highest level of security available that still provides needed functionality.
Backup and Recovery
In order to develop a successful backup and recovery plan, comprehension of data accessibility needs and the potential impact of
data loss is essential. Automatic backup procedures need to be adopted using a data backup utility.

following information:
SlideName_Rack#_Slot#_DateStamp.FileExtension
The Date Stamp delimiter is a dash or an underscore as in the following example:
biotest0812_7_1_20080813.jp2
Note: The Rack# and Slot# are not required if you edit and create your own filenames:
SlideName_DateStamp.FileExtension (for example, biotest0812_20080813.jp2).
Append Time Stamp A time stamp (in Military time format) is appended to a filename and consists of the
following information:
SlideName_Rack#_Slot#_TimeStamp.FileExtension
The Time Stamp delimiter is a dash or an underscore as in the following example:
biotest0812_7_1_1437.jp2
Note: The Rack# and Slot# are not required if you edit and create your own filenames:
SlideName_TimeStamp.FileExtension (for example, biotest0812_1437.jp2).
Create New Folder for Each Group A subfolder named after an assigned folder name is created by the scanner in the output
directory. All slides associated with the assigned folder name are placed in the subfolder.
Apply Barcode as Filename The barcode on the label of a slide is used to form the filename of a slide and consists of
the following information:
Barcode_DateTimeStamp.FileExtension
The following barcode filename examples includes 1D and 2D barcodes:
1D: 20761234_201008131437.jp2
2D: 20761234_HER2_201008131437.jp2
Note: This parameter is inactive and grayed out and unavailable until a barcode license
is installed. For information on obtaining a barcode license, contact Ventana
Medical Systems, Inc.
Delimiter to Separate Date/Time Stamp A dash or an underscore, separating the slide name from the date stamp or the time
stamp.
Note: If no options are selected, the output filenaming convention for individual slides is SlideName.jp2, with no date stamp or time
stamp.
Duplicate filenames are not allowed. If you attempt to save a file with a name that is already in use, a date stamp and a time stamp
are automatically appended to the name of the file to keep it unique.
Configured and saved parameters apply only to the user who configured and saved them. They are not applied to any other user or
the general system.
When a user logs out of the scanner, the configuration saved by that user is stored by the scanner. When the same user logs back
into the scanner, the configuration previously saved by that user is restored by the scanner.

section of the slide setup table, that filename is used as the output filename when a slide has no 2D barcode.
The 2D barcode configuration must be set only one time. It then applies to all scanner users and sessions.

Configure Rack Map Orientation

The default rack map orientation displayed on the console is in the reverse order (right to left) of the racks loaded into the slide tray
of the scanner because the scanner reads the order of the racks from left to right once the scanner door is closed. Therefore, Rack 1
displayed on the rack map actually corresponds to Rack 4 in the scanner tray (Figure 3-62). If desired, use the following procedure to
reconfigure the rack map orientation.

can use the Chat window to make comments or ask questions. Remote users can request to take control from the host to navigate
and highlight areas of interest on the slide image.
There are three types of participants in a Live collaboration session:

1 Host; the session initiator and controller
2 Client; a participant who only observes the session
3 Presenter; a client who has been granted control of the session by the host
Figure 4-29 Collaboration Button
Note: Confirm with your system administrator that the host and remote workstations are properly configured to enable the
Collaboration feature. The host workstation must be reconfigured if moved.

i Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if you implement the Sample Sources in your application or if you use Intel IPP to
implement algorithms that are protected by others’ licenses then you may need additional licenses from various entities. Should any such additional
licenses be required, you are solely responsible for obtaining any such licenses and agree to obtain any such licenses at your own expense.
ii Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a valid license to Intel IPP is a prerequisite to any license for Sample Source, and possession of
Sample Source does not grant any license to Intel IPP (or any portion thereof). To access Sample Source, you must first register your licensed copy of
the Intel IPP with Intel. By downloading, installing or copying any Sample Source file, you agree to be bound by terms of this Agreement.
f SOFTWARE TRANSFER: You may permanently transfer the Materials and all of your rights under this Agreement to another party (“Recipient”) only if

ClearImage Software Deployment (Inlite)
Introduction
As of ClearImage Rel 6.0 the procedure for the deployment of production software is separate from the installation of the SDK for
development of user applications.
Production Deployment Summary
The Production Deployment Kit (PDK) is different from the Software Development Kit (SDK). The PDK is absolutely required
for production operations and must be installed prior to license registration on the target computer. Conversely, the SDK does not
support production operations. The PDK contains the ClearImage engines and the License Manager application. To deploy the
software for production along with your user applications:
1. Obtain the link to your PDK (see below)

2. Download it
3. Execute the downloaded program to perform the installation.
4. The first element of the installation is the Licensing Manager:
a If this is a new installation, register the license.
b If you are updating an already licensed installation, then you may use it as is.
5. Once the license(s) is (are) registered the software installation will proceed.
a If the system is online the registration will proceed automatically and quickly
b b. If the system is offline, you will need to complete this step before the software can be installed and used.
Note: The PDK is installed in C:\Program Files\Common Files\ClearImage\.
Note: The Licensing Manager refers to the PDK software as a PRODUCTION version.
Note: To preserve an existing version of the PDK, before you install the new version, you should rename that directory, or else the
new install will replace it. For example, rename it to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\ClearImage_v5.6.3\. Later you will be able
to use the Licensing Manager to select which version to use in production.
How to obtain PDK
Inlite provides an email with the download link to the PDK, under two circumstances:
1. After the purchase of a license from Inlite, you will receive an email with the license certificate and the download link.
2. In response to a customer support request which requires software download.
Which version to Download
You are entitled to receive the latest software for the support period of your license. The support period means:
• One year after the purchase of the license
• More years or months of support that were purchased
For example, if support for your license expired in Sep 2008, then you would receive the latest download available till 30 Sep 2008.
Note: Recovering a lost license due to a crash, rebuild or some OS activity is not the same as requiring a software download. There
may be a charge for license recovery.

Application Development Summary
The ClearImage SDK contains the Demo application which you can use to test and understand various features and operations of
the ClearImage engines. The SDK also contains fully functional engines with APIs for development, as well as sample code. To
initiate development:
• Download the publicly available SDK from Inlite’s Web site
• Install the SDK, using the installation password
• The SDK will be installed in C:\Program Files\ClearImage\COM\eval\
• When you install a newer SDK, it will replace the previous SDK.
• See Tech Note 28 Operating Modes for details
Support for Rel 5.x
The Rel 5.x SDK contained a User Distribution Kit (UDK). The UDK installed the ClearImage engines and the Licensing Manager.
For production purposes, either the SDK or UDK could be executed to install the engines on the target computer. Inlite will
continue to support the installation of Rel 5.x as follows:
• Rel 5.x software will continue to work as before.
• If new downloads of Rel 5.x are requested, the user may obtain either the Rel
5.x UDK for that period, or the latest Rel 6.x PDK, depending on the expiration date of support for that license.
• Users who distributed Rel 5.x SDKs for production should not update their production system with the Rel 6.x SDK, because it
cannot be used for production. Instead they should request the appropriate PDK or UDK download.
• Inlite will no longer deliver the Rel 5.x SDK, except by request, to customers who are under support.
