1 Introduction
This book describes how to use the software “DAR-8000 Overlay Information Edit Tool”
which edits the display method of the patient information displayed on a screen and a film
of DAR-8000i/8000f. This book is intended for the engineer and service engineer who fully
understand about DAR-8000 series.

If DAR-8000 overlay edit tool is not installed to the system, install it by referring to
Appendix A “Overlay Edit Tool”.

When the attribute of a file and the security setup to be edited with this tool are not set up
correctly, a system may not work correctly, without reflecting an edit result correctly.
Please use this tool after checking and correcting a file attribute and a security setup by
following procedure.

2.1 Object File

The following files are files to be edited.

2.2 Checking the File Attribute

If the “Read-only” attribute is set to object files, the edits cannot be saved correctly.
Clear the “Read-only” attribute using the Windows Explorer.

2.3 Checking the Security Attribute

If the access authority of user “operator” is not set to the object file, these files
cannot be accessed from the application program of DAR-8000 series. Please
check that group “Users” has the access authority using the following procedure.

1) Log in as user “shimadzu”.

2) Select an object file using the Windows Explorer and select [Property] from a
right-click menu.

3) Click [Security] tab and select [Users].

When “Users” does not exist, click [Add] button to add “Users”.

4) Checks that all [Allow] check boxes are selected. When they are not selected,
select “Full Control” check box and click [Apply].

5) Click [OK] to close “Properties” dialog box.

Repeat procedure from 1 to 5 for each file.

This application is a tool for editing the display/print overlay information in DAR-8000
equipment.
Overlay information is information that displays a patient name, patient information, etc. on
the image to be displayed and printed.
This application allows user to change the position or size for each overlay information and
change the font.
The function of this application is shown in “Table 3-1 Function List of Overlay Information
Edit Tool”.

Functional Outline
Based on the format of XML defined in the Orion Overlay
schema definition file (Ooverlay.xsd), read data from the
specified XML file and update the edits.
UTF8 is used for a character code.
A preview displays the image with the overlay information,
which is to be displayed and printed.
Size of a screen is fixed at 1024x1024, and in order to check
positions, such as circle blanking, an arbitrary image file can
be displayed as a background.
Each overlay item can be changed in size and position.
A position can be specified using two methods: the
coordinates entering in a dialog and the drag and drop
operation.
A font of each overlay item can be changed in the kind, the
size, and the color code.
Append new LABEL objects and new Dynamic objects to
arbitrary position. Text or Dynamic ID of each overlay item
can be changed and deleted.
Since the Dynamic item has only ID information in XML, the
text corresponding to Dynamic ID is defined on the tool so
that Dynamic ID can be replaced with character strings in
the preview display, allowing user to check character size,
and position, etc.
4 Screen Explanation
4.1 Main Screen

• Starting the application will display the Main Screen (Figure 4-1).
• This main screen consists of a preview area in the left side of the main screen,
which arranges an object on a screen based on the information described in
XML screen, and an operation area in right side on which user operates.

Preview Area Operation Area

Figure 4-1 Main Screen

M517-E140 7
4.2 Preview Area of the Main Screen

• When the background picture is specified, the background picture file is

displayed in the preview area.
• In a preview area, based on the overlay information on read XML, objects are
arranged on a screen, and a layout can be checked.
• Objects are displayed according to the kind and size of the font, and the
rectangle specification and coordinates specification that are described in
XML.
• In object selection mode, the object size and position can be changed using a
mouse.
• In object append mode, Dynamic objects and LABEL objects can be
appended to the place specified with the mouse.
• About a Dynamic object, two display methods can be selected; the ID display
of DB and the display in the sample character string defined for every ID.
• If a grid display is enabled, a grid will be displayed on the background of a
preview area by 8x8 dots. When movement is performed, a position will be
corrected by 8x8 dots.
• If the frame display of an object is enabled, each object is surrounded with a
white frame.
