Before you can add an Rx Site to a DICOM plan for export, you need to define
them on the Rx Sites tab on the Settings dialog box.
Deleting an Rx Site
If you no longer need an Rx Site, you can delete it from the Rx Sites tab of the
Settings dialog box.
Laser System
You need to perform this setup if you want to use the Setup Reference Distance
tool in Monaco to determine shifts or if you have movable lasers in your CT
room and would like to send a file with the shift values to the LMS system.
e. Enter the scan reference and setup reference points. Make sure you
check Lock Scan Reference. Then, select the orientation of the
patient or phantom in the Patient Orientation when Scanned drop-
down menu.
f. Click Send to Laser.
g. Verify that a message appears that reads as follows: “Laser file
<filename > written successfully” where <filename > is the name of
the file created in lasermark folder. Additionally, you should verify
that the file was in fact created in the lasermark folder.
If you are using a Gammex laser marking system, the system names the file after
the patient ID (for example: smith.cts or autorun.cts if AutoRun is enabled).
If you are using a LAP IsoMark laser marking system, the system always names
the file lapdata.dat.
MLC Geometry
Use this dialog box to review the MLC geometry parameters and to make minor
adjustments of those parameters if necessary.

You must close Monaco before you install your photon Monte Carlo machine
folder. Do not start Monaco while you install your treatment unit machines.
CAUTION If the Monaco system is connected to a XiO server, please make sure Monaco uses a
unique machine model ID which does not exist in XiO. Otherwise, you need to
rename the model ID before you install the model.
1. Find out your Monaco system installation type by selecting "Start >All
Programs > Elekta > Edit License" in Windows. If the option "Standalone"
is checked, it is a standalone installation. Otherwise, it is a non-standalone
installation.
2. Run Monaco and find the Monaco data location by selecting "Elekta
Application button > Settings > Servers > Data Location", hereafter
referred to as "\\MonacoDataLocation." On a non-standalone system, you
also need to find the installed XiO Server by selecting "Elekta Application
button > Servers >XiO Server." Write down the server's name, hereafter
referred to as "XiO_Server_ID."
On A Non-Standalone System:
1. Use Windows Explorer to browse to
"\\MonacoDataLocation\Installation\1~QA Clinic\tele". Please make a
backup of this "tele" folder first. Normally there are several demo models in
this folder for training purposes; we suggest you delete those demo models
except the model "IECMachine", which will be used for DICOM RT PLAN
import purposes. Also use Windows Explorer to browse to:
"\\MonacoDataLocation\XiO_Server_ID\Clinic_ID\tele” and delete all
unwanted demo models there.
2. After you clean up the unnecessary models, please save your own model
folder(s) in "\\MonacoDataLocation\Installation\1~QA Clinic\tele".
3. Run Monaco, select "Elekta Application button > Settings > Servers >
XiO Server." Select an existing XiO server and click the "Update Server"
button. If it is the first time that you are trying to connect to an XiO server,
you can add your XiO server now.
On A Standalone System:
Save the model folder into the "tele" directory under your own clinic. Example:
"\\MonacoDataLocation\Installation\Your_Clinic\tele" and
“\\MonacoDataLocation\Installation\1~QA Clinic\tele”
WARNING It is your responsibility, as a qualified Medical Physicist, to review and verify all
delivered models, and the resulting dose calculations in Monaco, before clinical use in
patient treatment plans.
