INTRODUCTION
The software needed to install DISOFT can be provided on a USB stick, a CD or downloaded
through the FTP server from Instrumentation Difra.
The installation process will be described for a new installation in the chapter “New installation”. If
the NYSSTAR is used to update an existing DISOFT installation, please follow the DISOFT update
process described in the user's manual of DISOFT installation. Once the software is updated,
follow the description of the configuration for NYSSTAR.
COMPUTER MINIMAL CONFIGURATION

NYSSTAR is not a stand alone product. It requests a computer and the software DISOFT. The
computer has to satisfy the followinfg characteristics otherwise the system will not work properly.
• Operating system : Windows XP 32 bits, or Windows 7 32 bits;

• Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo (Core Quad recommended for binocular system) or Intel Core
I7 (Core I3 and Core I5 does NOT work);

visual stimulator, …), others drivers may need to be installed and the the configuration of DISOFT
may also need to be adjusted. For this, please see User's manuals of others devices from
Instrumentation Difra.

CONFIGURATION
In a new installation, the configuration of DISOFT will be done automatically, so this has not to be
done. This chapter will be necessary to configure DISOFT to install a NYSSTAR on an older
installation of DISOFT.
Follow the process describes to reach the configuration part of DISOFT. This part is called “Difra

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
allowed to.
NYSSTAR INTERFACE CONNECTION
The NysStar interface is used to connect cameras to the computer with a locking connection. Please
follow steps and do not connect the camera or the NysStar interface before being allowed to.
1. Turn on the computer and log in as “Administrator” or with an account with full
administrator rights.
2. Take the NysStar interface and set the switch on “O”, the part of the switch with “O” pushed
down. See A on the Illustration 16.
3. Let the switch alone, do not connect camera on it.
4. Connect the power supply on the NysStar interface, see C on the Illustration 16. and connect
it to the mains by plugging it in a power outlet see B on the Illustration 16. The power
outlet should be a 230V AC 50Hz or a 115V AC 60Hz.
5. Connect the NysStar interface to the computer with the USB cable A to B. See D and E on
the Illustration 16.
6. DO NOT CONNECT THE CAMERA.
7. Switch on the Hub by setting the switch on “I”.

Illustration 16: NYSSTAR interface connections

CAMERA CONNECTION
Connect a camera on the NYSSTAR interface, see F on the Illustration 16. Even if two cameras are
available, start to connect only one. Depending of the operating software, one of two situations will
take place.
If the computer is running under Windows 7, the camera will be installed automatically and when it
is done, the computer will give a message telling that the camera is ready to be used.
If the computer is running under Windows XP, some steps have to be done. Please follow them as
described here after.
Once all this has been done, the first camera is installed and ready to be used. If a second camera is
available, follow the same process for the second camera without disconnecting the first one.
INSTALLING THE CAMERA UNDER WINDOWS XP
A pop-up window will open automatically.
Illustration 17: Add new hardware window
Select “No, not this time”.

Illustration 18: Driver installation for the camera
Select “Install software automatically (recommend)” and click on “Next”.
Illustration 19: Installation process running
The camera installation is under process.

Illustration 20: Camera installation complete
Now, the camera and the software are completely installed and ready to be use.
FIRST START-UP
If a firewall is installed on the computer, Nysstar will need to be authorized. At first start-up of
DISOFT, when the image of the camera will be displayed, the firewall of the computer will ask you
the authorization for Nysstar. This is normal and without this authorization, the system will not
work. Nysstar uses an internal TCP/IP protocol in the computer to communicate data from camera
to software and without allowing this flow of data, the camera will not be able to send data to
DISOFT.
Illustration 21: Nysstar firewall authorization
Here is the example for the intergrated firewall of Windows, if the computer is equipped with
another firewall, refer to its documentation to allow the Nysstar process.

NYSSTAR UTILIZATION
In DISOFT, once the patient is encoded and the exam is started, the image of the eye is displayed in
a new window.
The utilization of NYSSTAR requires most of capacities of the computer. In order to avoid any
problems, we recommend to avoid the use of any other software simultaneously, pay attention to
Windows updates and anti-virus software analyzes. Problems will also be avoided if all sleeping
and stand-by mode are deactivated.
The window of the eye's video will be kept open from exam to exam on the same patient. If you
close the window with the image of the eye, you will have to close the window of the current exam,
the sequence and the window of exam selection to go back up to the patient selection screen prior to
be able to restart the VNG window and make a new exam.
NYSSTAR WINDOW DESCRIPTION

This window is made of three parts. The first part contains the video of the eye, the second part
contains buttons for the Torsion analysis and the third part is made of slide bars for manual settings
of the NysStar. The part of the window containing the manual settings can be displayed or not. The
release version of the NYSSTAR software is indicated on the top of the window, in this example the
release number is the “1.2.0.0”.

Illustration 22: NysStar's

window

The window with the image of the eye can be enlarged. When the cursor change to a double arrow,
left-click and move your mouse to enlarge the window. The maximum size of the eye's video is
from 640x480 pixels at 50Hz.. The position of the window can also be changed Once the position
of the window has been changed, it will be memorized by the software. At next start up, the
window will be opened where it had been closed the last time.
Illustration 23: Eye's video
A right click on the image of the eye will display a menu. This menu contains four lines that can be
checked or not.
• Advance: check this line enables to display the manual setting part of the screen;
• Print Stars: enable to display or not the small white cross that show the border of pupil;
• Print Star Center: enable to display the center of the pupil calculated by the NysStar.
• Fixation: not yet available.
The four buttons of the Torsion detection will only be activated if the camera is equipped with this
option. The utilization of the second part of the window will be described in the torsion detection
chapter.
The utilization of the third part of the window will be described in the pupil detection chapter.
PUPIL DETECTION
Once the window with the eye's video displayed, a detection of the pupil has to be made to enable
the eye's tracking.
To detect the pupil:

1. Press down the key “control” (Ctrl) and hold it.
2. Click on the center of the pupil with the mouse.
3. Release the key “control”.
A white cross will then be displayed on the center of the pupil. This white cross will follow
movements of the eye.
Small white crosses are also displayed. They are used to locate the boarder between the pupil and
the iris. If the detection is good, these points are at the boarder between the iris and the pupil, see
on Illustration 24 for a bad detection and Illustration 25 for a good detection.

A bad detection can be detected, if the big white cross does not follow movements of the eye or if
small white dots are not located at the boarder of the pupil and iris. If you have on of these two
situation, do a new detection of the pupil as explain before.
Small white cross should be

at the border of the pupil
Illustration 24: Bad pupil detection

Illustration 25: Good pupil detection
Parameters will be set automatically when you do a pupil detection, they can also be adjusted if
needed. Find a description of these parameters here:
• Luminance: If you have to change one parameter manually, start with this one. To adjust it,
move the cursor in order that the image shows the most details in the iris. When the cursor
is moved from the left to the right side the image will became darker, from white up to
black.
• Pupil color: This is the second parameter to change manually. With this parameter, the color
searched by the system for the pupil will change from gray to black. To adjust it simply
move the cursor to get the more white dots on the border of the pupil.
• Delta Iris Pupil: Adjust the color difference between the pupil and the iris. This is the last
parameter to modify to get most white points on the border of the pupil.
• Radius Min: Minimum radius of the pupil to be detected. Parameter really hard to adjust

better than the automatic process.

• Radius Max: Maximum radius of the pupil, this parameter can be used if an other part of the
screen has almost the same color than the pupil and that some white dots are set close to this
part. Decreasing the value will avoid white dots to be detect too far away of the center of
the pupil.
TORSION DETECTION
The torsion detection is an option on NYSSTAR. The camera needs specific feature to allow the
torsion detection. With the option available, it is possible to activate the torsional in the
DIFRATECHNICAL and in options of each exams.
Illustration 26: Torsion recording in options of

exams
To activate the torsion for each exam, in DISOFT go in options of exams and check the “Eye
torsion recording” option. The “Averaging” slide bar is a filter from 0% to 100% to smooth the
curve of the torsion. This filter is applied after the recording so it is possible to change it after the
exam and to check its effect on the curve.
A B C D
Illustration 27: Torsion detection
Once the exam started and a good pupil tracking set, click on the A button to start the torsion
acquisition, it will display the area of the eye that will be used to detect the torsion.
To increase the precision of the torsion detection, best is to increase the diameter of the area by
using the button B and C and to get a structure from the iris in the area of detection.
The last button D is used to set the reference, to set the zero position of the torsion. When the area
of detection is set and that the patient just look straight without any stimulus, click on this button to
set the zero position.

TROUBLESHOOTING
During the utilization of the NYSSTAR, some problems may occur. Here is a description of what
to do to solve them.
A first point is never disconnecting the camera from the NysStar interface or the NysStar interface
from the computer when DISOFT is started. This will only result in software crashes.
To avoid problems best is not to connect or disconnect any USB hardware (USB key, printer,
mouse, …) when DISOFT and NYSSTAR are running on the computer.
The utilization of NYSSTAR requires most of capacities of the computer. In order to avoid any
problems, we recommend to avoid the use of any other software simultaneously, pay attention to
software automatic updates and anti-virus software analyzes. Problems will also be avoided if all
sleeping and stand-by mode are deactivated.
A last advice is to remove all standby and all energy saving function from Windows.
NO MORE WINDOW WITH THE IMAGE OF THE EYE

The window that displays the eye has disappeared. First check that the window is not minimize to
the taskbar of Windows. If the window can not be found back, please close the exam and start it
again. If at this moment the window is still not displayed, close the exam and the acquisition screen
of DISOFT and start a new one.
One important thing to understand in the behavior of NYSSTAR is that the window of the eye's
video is kept open from exam to exam on the same patient. If you close the window with the image
of the eye, you will have to close the window of the current exam, the sequence and the window of
exam selection to go back up to the patient selection screen prior to be able to restart the NYSSTAR
window and make a new exam.
THE IMAGE OF THE EYE IS FROZEN

Stop the exam and restart it. If this does not solve the problem, close the exam and the acquisition
window. Try to select again the patient in the list and click on “Acquisition”. Start the exam. The
window should be back.

ERROR MESSAGE “CAMERA NOT DETECTED”

If you get the following message, a problem occurs in the USB connection between the camera and
the computer.
Illustration 28: Error message

"Camera not detected"
This message can appears when the software doesn't find the camera.
Verify that the camera is correcly connected to the computer, that the Nysstar interface is powered
and turned on. Once the trouble resolved, the image of the camera will be automatically displayed.
If the trouble persists, check that the camera is correctly detected by the computer.
