1.1 Service Characteristics

1.1.1 Identifying the Boards

MyLab’s design is based on the use of modular, functionally isolated printed circuit
boards (PCBs) and subassemblies known as Field Replaceable Unit. This
modularization greatly simplifies on-site service and repair. In most cases, on-site
maintenance is accomplished by removing and replacing the PCBs or
subassemblies.
Most boards of MyLab are identified:

• By its Description and reference, which is always indicated on the label.


• By the Serial Number (SN), indicated on the label.
• By the Configuration Index (CI), indicated by two decimal figures on the label.
The Configuration Index represents the HW level of the board.
The Configuration Index is loaded in specific components mounted on each
board.

1.1.2 Fuses

WARNING
Do not replace the system fuses with types different from those specified.

1.2 Equipment

In this section the required tools to access the system internal parts are listed
together with the tools to activate the Service procedures and to perform a functional
test of the unit.

1.2.2 Service Procedures

USB Service key


P/N 140009500

The service procedures that require an interaction with the unit, can be activated
through the service key only. The service key must be inserted in one of USB ports.

The key must be inserted before switching on the unit, to be able to access to the
several service menus. If the procedure is not carried out properly, the system
doesn’t allow the access to the menu.

This symbol is used in this manual to indicate all the procedures that require
the use of the service key.

1.2.3 USB Medium and Re-Writable CD/DVD


To perform a complete check of the unit, it is suggested to always have an USB
medium and a re-writable CD/DVD. These tools allow the service technician to test
the functioning of the USB ports and DVD burner.

1.2.4 Upgrading File


It is suggested to always have the latest revision of the unit upgrading file, together
with the pertaining upgrading instructions. These tools allow the service technician to
install the software on the unit, should it be necessary.

1.2.5 Safety Test Equipment


The safety test has to be performed whenever the system composition has been
changed, either by adding a new peripheral or by having replaced parts. Refer to
chapter 7, SAFETY TEST page 78 in this manual for detailed information on when to
perform the tests and how to carry it out.

3 350032500_03
1.3 Warnings and Precautions

WARNINGS

It is forbidden to edit or delete files that belong to the software package. Doing so
may compromise the system safety.

PRECAUTIONS

A series of precautions that must be observed each time you perform an operation
on the system are emphasized below:

• The equipment must always be switched off before carrying out any service
operation. In the same way, all the probes and peripherals (for example
external monitor, printer, and video-recorder) must also be disconnected.
• Power off the equipment prior to perform any disassembling operation.
• An electrostatic discharge occurring through the contact with the operator, can
irreparably damage the electronic components on system boards that are
sensitive to electro-static discharges: it is therefore recommended that
precautions to prevent these discharges are taken each time a board has to
be removed/installed. In operational terms, this means:
o The machine must rest on an electro-static mat connected to earth.
o The service technician must also be connected to the same earth each
time he removes or installs the parts.
o The boards and components must always be moved in their special
electro-static containers.
o For the service on the field, use the specific kits including the anti-static
mat.
o The chapter entitled “system Parts List” details the sub-assemblies that
are to be considered sensitive to electro-static discharges (ESD).

When the board is ESD sensitive, you can find this symbol on the PCB master.

REFERENCE: IEC 61340-5-1 (2007)

1.4 Packaging
Whenever the MyLab or PCB rack has to be shipped, the system or rack has to be
properly packed to prevent trauma damage.

Probe Adapter Board
The Probe Adapter Board is the board for the connection of the echo probes: the
probes are physically connected to this board.

The board mounts n.3 (three) small connectors together with the switching logic to
enable the active connector.

The main function of the board is to switch among the three probe connectors
selecting the active one for the acquisition.

Front End Board


The Front End Board carries out some fundamental functions regarding probe
managing and power supplying.

Probe Transmission Section (Tx)

The board manages the transmission to the probe controlling the pulses to be
transmitted to the elements. The transmitters are individually controlled in terms of
enabling, delaying and pulse shape by a dedicated FPGA.

Probe Reception Section (Rx)

The board manages also the reception of the signals implementing the receiving
beam former.

The received signals are summed together, amplified, digitally converted and then
sent to the dedicated Rx FPGAs that implement the digital focalization.

CW Acquisition Section

This dedicated section manages the acquisition of the CW signals from their analogic
delay to their A/D conversion.

Power Supply Section

The FE implements the power supply function distributing the supply voltage within
both FE and BE boards so that all the other needed supply voltages can be
generated. It supplies also the high voltages for probe transmission and the standby
voltages for PC module.

In this section a dedicated micro-controller manages the system start-up, shutdown,


the batteries and their chargers. The micro-controller also monitors the internal
temperature and controls the fans speed.

9 350032500_03
Battery Bridge Board
The Battery Bridge board connects the two optional batteries to the Front End.

The bridge includes the power voltages, the SMB logic connections and the
monitoring thermal signals.

Back End Board


The board implements several functions.

The BE board processes the RF signal through a FPGA and n.2 (two) DSPs. The
FPGA processes the RF signal and the Doppler data.

The first DSP controls the processes on the FPGA, the acquisition sequences and
processes both Doppler data and Physio signal. The second filters and mixes the
image data.

The PC module is mounted on the BE board. The PC main functions are:

• Processing CFM data


• Managing of the cine memory,
• Managing of the scan converter,
• Generation of signals for the two LCD displays (main display and touchscreen
display),
• Managing of the user interface in terms of input from the keyboard and output
to the displays.
• Managing of the digital peripheral on the USB,
• Managing of the LAN connection,
• Managing of the audio signal for the speakers,
• Control of the Hard disk mounted on this board,
• Control of the DVD burner.

A dedicated Wi-Fi module is accommodated on the board. This module is connected


to the PC Module and to the Wi-Fi antennas.

The BE Board also processes the ECG PHISYIO analog signal.

Mains Power Group


The group manages the connection to the mains power line. It sends and receives
power to/from the insulating transformer. It mounts the power sockets for the
peripheral devices.

An AC/DC module converts the mains voltage to 19V. This voltage powers the
electronics and is sent to the Front End. There is also an AC/DC module that
generates the supply voltage for the main monitor.

10 350032500_03
Keyboard Group
The Keyboard Main board implements:

• the connection towards the main group of electronic boards


• USB Hub for the USB connections
• N.2 (two) external accessible USB connectors
• the loudspeakers connection
• N.1 (one) microcontroller for managing the control panel keys, the encoders,
the TGC potentiometers, the touchscreen and the LED’s of the board keys.

The Keyboard Main board manages:

• the control panel keys


• the gain encoders
• the leds of the control panel keys
• the six toggle encoders
• the trackball keys
• the trackball keys LED’s
