Recommendations for using your display system  
Recommendations for using your display system  
1. Optimize the lifetime of your display  
Enabling the Display Power Management System (DPMS) of your display  
(in the display’s Settings menu) will optimize its diagnostic lifetime by  
automatically switching off the backlight when the display is not used  
for a specified period of time. By default, DPMS is enabled on your  
display, but it also needs to be activated on your workstation. To do this,  
go to “Power Options Properties” in the “Control Panel”.  
Barco recommends setting DPMS activation after 20 minutes of  
non-usage.  
2. Use a screen saver to avoid image retention  
Prolonged operation of an LCD with the same content on the same  
screen area may result in a form of image retention.  
You can avoid or significantly reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon  
by using a screen saver. You can activate a screen saver in the “Display  
properties” window of your workstation.  
Barco recommends setting screen saver activation after 5 minutes  
of non-usage. A good screen saver displays moving content.  
In case you are working with the same image or an application with  
static image elements for several hours continuously (so that the screen  
saver is not activated), change the image content regularly to avoid  
image retention of the static elements.  
3. Understand pixel technology  
LCD displays use technology based on pixels. As a normal tolerance in  
the manufacturing of the LCD, a limited number of these pixels may  
remain either dark or permanently lit, without affecting the diagnostic  
performance of the product. To ensure optimal product quality, Barco  
applies strict selection criteria for its LCD panels.  
To learn more about LCD technology and missing pixels, consult  
the dedicated white paper available at www.barcomedical.com.

Recommendations for using your display system  
4. Enhance user comfort  
Every Barco multi-head display system is color matched with the highest  
specification in the market.  
Barco recommends keeping color-matched displays together.  
Furthermore, it is important to use all displays of a multi-head  
configuration at the same rate to preserve color matching  
throughout the economic lifetime of the system.  
5. Maximize Quality Assurance  
The ‘MediCal QAWeb’ system offers online service for high-grade Quality  
Assurance, providing maximum diagnostic confidence and uptime.

Introduction  
Introduction  
Thank you for choosing Barco.  
Single display or complete system?  
This manual describes installation and usage of a complete NIO  
system. A NIO system is a bundling of one or more displays and  
one or more display controllers.  
However, if you have purchased the display only instead of a NIO  
system, please refer to the chapters in this manual covering the  
display, and disregard the information about the display  
controller or NIOWATCH software.  
The displays  
The E-2620 (S) is a 19.8-inch grayscale LCD display with a native  
resolution of 1600 x 1200.  
The E-3620 is a 20.8-inch grayscale LCD display with a native  
resolution of 2048 x 1536.  
Their high-brightness, combined with image crispness and  
excellent viewing angle, makes them ideal for a multitude of  
medical applications and environments.  
Long-term stabilization  
The displays contain a Backlight Output Stabilization system  
(BLOS©), which continuously stabilizes the luminance output of  
the LCD’s backlight. This improves the overall optical efficiency  
and provides long-term image confidence.  
NioWatch  
In NIO systems, the display comes standard with NIOWATCH, a  
user-friendly software tool that optimizes the LCD panel for  
DICOM-compliant viewing.

Introduction  
Power saving  
The displays are equipped with a power saving system. When left  
idle for a certain time, the computer connected to the display,  
will power down the display.  
The power saving system can be switched on or off using the on-  
screen menus.  
Tilt & swivel base  
The versatile tilt & swivel foot allows to use the display for  
viewing portrait or landscape image resolutions.  
The user can easily change the panel height and viewing angle,  
allowing to use the display in the optimal viewing conditions.

Display controller installation  
Caution: Wear a grounded, protective ESD strap during  
installation or handling of the display controller. Electrostatic  
charges can damage the display controller.  
Prior to installing your BarcoMed Nio display controller(s) in your  
PC please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with both  
the display controller(s) and the PCI slots in your computer.  
Figure 3: The BarcoMed Nio display controller  
Using the VGA capabilities of the BarcoMed Nio display controller  
Prior to installing the BarcoMed Nio controller, decide if you are  
going to use its on-board VGA capabilities. If you are, check the  
setting of the Jumper at J-1 on the display controller (see figure 4  
on page 33). By default, VGA should be enabled, on the top two  
pins.

Display controller installation  
Figure 4  
If you decide to use a separate VGA monitor as your boot  
monitor, you must disable the BarcoMed Nio’s on-board VGA  
capabilities by moving the jumper to the bottom two pins.  
Caution: To use multiple BarcoMed Nio controllers in a single host  
with VGA enabled, you should enable VGA on only ONE of the  
BarcoMed Nio display controllers and disable VGA on ALL the  
other BarcoMed Nio display controllers.  
Examples of PCI slots  
Although the BarcoMed Nio is a 64-bit board, it may be installed  
in either a 64-bit or 32-bit PCI slot. However, installing it in a  
32-bit PCI slot will result in a decrease in performance. Figure  
figure 5 on page 34 illustrates the types of slots so that you can  
correctly identify which one to use for the BarcoMed Nio.

Installing the BarcoMed Nio display controller  
Install the BarcoMed Nio controller in your computer following  
these steps:  
1. Turn off the power to your computer and disconnect the  
power cord, however make sure that the computer chassis is  
still grounded.  
2. Remove the chassis cover according to the manufacturer’s  
instructions. Be sure to observe safety warnings.  
3. If you have decided to use the on-board VGA capabilities of  
now remove any VGA display controller(s) that are currently  
installed in the computer or disable any VGA controllers that  
are integrated into your PC’s motherboard.  
4. Install the BarcoMed Nio display controller into a free PCI  
slot, either 64-bit or 32-bit (see 5 above, for examples of

Display controller installation  
6. Connect the primary display to the connector marked “VID 1”  
on the BarcoMed Nio display controller using the provided  
DVI cable (see 6 below). For a dual-headed BarcoMed Nio  
setup, connect the secondary display to the other connector  
on the display controller.  
7. Reconnect the power cord, turn on the power, and boot the  
system as usual.  
Running multiple BarcoMed Nio Display Controllers in a single host  
The physical order of the displays may vary when you are  
running multiple BarcoMed Nio display controllers. This is due to  
the PC’s PCI bus control in the system BIOS, and not the  
BarcoMed display controller. It may become necessary,  
depending on how your PC’s BIOS configures the PCI bus, to  
switch your DVI display connections to achieve a linear desktop  
configuration.

Preparation  
Prior to installing your BARCOMED NIO software the following  
should be done.  
1. Install the BarcoMed Nio display controller(s) in your system.  
2. Connect the BARCOMED NIO display panel(s) to the  
BarcoMed Nio display controller(s) and power supply(s).  
3. Decide if you want to install the NioWatch Software in  
addition to the driver.  
4. Decide if you are going to install the BarcoMed Nio driver  
with DualView enabled or disabled) (see Step “7.” on  
page 50 for a description of DualView).  
5. Decide which Palette Mode you wish to use with the  
BarcoMed Nio display controller. If you are uncertain, use the  
default setting as this setting can be changed later using the  
BarcoMed Driver Tab of the Windows Display Properties  
control panel.  
6. Put the BarcoMed Nio 2MP display panel in landscape  
position before installing the software. Put the BarcoMed Nio  
3MP/5MP display panel in portrait position before installing  
the software. If you wish to change the panel orientation  
later, the image orientation will adapt automatically to the  
panel orientation after rebooting the PC.  
Note: Both displays connected to a single display controller  
must have the same physical orientation and resolution in  
order to be attached to the Windows desktop.

Using the BarcoMed product installation wizard  
To install your BarcoMed Nio Windows display controller driver  
and NioWatch Software for the first time follow the steps below.  
If you are reinstalling the drivers or installing a new driver  
release over an existing driver release skip to the step 5:  
1. Boot your system, and log in using an account with  
administrator privileges.  
2. For each BarcoMed Nio display controller installed in your  
system Windows will launch the “Found New Hardware  
Wizard”. Click “Cancel”. Continue to click “Cancel” until  
Windows stops launching the “Found New Hardware  
Wizard”. Please be patient as this may take several minutes  
while Windows scans its library of Plug-and-Play device  
drivers to see if it has a driver for your BarcoMed Nio  
controller.  
3. If Windows advises you that it has finished installing all the  
new devices in your system and that you must reboot your  
system in order for the changes to take effect, click “No”.  
4. Insert your BarcoMed Nio Software CD into your computer’s  
CD drive. If the “BarcoMed Product Installation Wizard”  
doesn’t start within one minute, browse the contents of your  
BarcoMed Nio Software CD and double click on the file:  
“Setup.exe” to start the wizard.  
The BarcoMed Product Installation Wizard will begin by  
inspecting your system to make certain that all of the  
Windows components it needs are up to date. If they are, the  
BarcoMed Product Installation Wizard will display the  
BarcoMed Product Installation Wizard’s welcome screen (see  
19 on page 47). If the screen shown in figure 19 appears,  
please skip to step “5.” on page 48, otherwise continue to  
the next page.

BarcoMed devices installed in your computer, you will need  
to rerun the installer to install the drivers for the other  
devices.  
If you select a device with an installed driver, the wizard will  
warn you if the installed driver is newer than the one you  
are installing (see figure 23 on page 50).  
1. If Windows does not recognize the installed BarcoMed device, special settings  
may need to be made in the BIOS to support non-AGP video controllers or to  
support multiple video controllers. Check with your PC manufacturer.

Displays  
All of the available display adapters that are of the same type as  
the current barco display adapter are shown here graphically,  
with one display icon representing each port of a display adapter.  
The icon orientation reflects the display resolution. Only those  
ports with a display attached to them are active. If an icon is  
grayed out, that indicates a port with no head attached to it.  
When running DualView under Windows 2000 and Windows XP  
the desktop must be extended to include each display, otherwise  
those ports will not be visible to the Barco Display Tab.  
Hovering the cursor over a display icon will pop up a window  
with information that identifies the display.

Backlight RunTime: This is time in hours that the back light has  
been on. A common question is: How much longer will the  
backlight last? The backlight will typically last a very long time,  
but will only be able to hold a calibrated output of for 17000  
hours, after which time it will become slowly dimmer. For  
displays calibrated at, an estimate of how long it will be before a  
backlight replacement is needed = 17000 hours – backlight age.  
Firmware Revisions: This is the runtime firmware that is loaded  
in the display. This information may be helpful when there is a  
problem.  
Internal Temperature: This is the temperature inside the display.  
It starts out at about the ambient temperature when the display  
backlight is first turned on, then rises slowly to a steady-state  
temperature as the display warms up. Changes in light level due  
to temperature variations are completely controlled by the I-  
Guard sensor on the front of the display.  
Current Luminance Value: This is the current luminance value of  
the display. It may vary a bit from time to time, for the display  
continuously calibrates itself to meet the target luminance value.

Palette Mode  
In the Palette Mode section you can choose one of the four  
following Palette Modes.If you are using a color display in  
conjunction with your Barco grayscale display(s) under Windows  
2000 or Windows XP, prior to selecting a palette mode please  
make certain that you have configured your Window 2000 or  
Windows XP desktop correctly. (See the section “Configuring the  
Color to Gray Compatibility  
Use this palette option for applications, such as Java, which  
require True Color support. Such applications may not work  
correctly when using one of Barco's three "Standard 8-bit (256-  
color)" palette modes. All applications that are designed to work  
correctly with 8-bit (256-color) modes should continue to work  
normally.  
Please note that dithering is not used while in this mode. The  
Enable Dithering check box will be grayed-out, and dithering will  
be automatically disabled regardless of whether this check box is  
checked. This complies with the Windows standard interface  
method.  
Also, please note that direct access to the hardware through  
DirectDraw is not allowed in this mode. The Enable DirectDraw  
check box will be grayed-out, and DirectDraw’s access to the  
hardware will be automatically disabled regardless of whether  
this check box is checked. DirectDraw is still usable through  
DirectDraw’s Hardware Emulation Layer.  
UserModifiable Color Palette  
This option allows applications to modify the palette contents  
dynamically. As indicated in figure 37 on page 69, this mode  
reserves the first 10 and last 10 entries in the palette for the

Windows operating system, but applications can manipulate the  
middle 236 entries. This is the standard palette mode as  
configured by Windows.  
Figure 37  
Static Gray Palette including standard system colors  
This option sets the palette to be a static set of 256 gray values.  
Therefore, applications are denied the ability to dynamically  
change or allocate palette entries. This prevents palette conflicts  
between applications, which can cause image color values to  
appear distorted in the background application.  
As shown in figure 38, the 20 standard system colors are  
converted from RGB to gray values. The rest of the 236 entries  
from index 10 to 245 contain the missing gray values so that the  
palette has the full 256 gray values within it.  
Figure 38  
Please note that dithering is not permitted while in this mode.  
The Enable Dithering check box will be grayed-out, and dithering  
will be automatically disabled regardless of whether this check  
box is checked. This complies with the Windows standard  
interface method. If you are unsure whether or not your  
application requires this “Static Gray Palette including Standard  
System Colors” mode, contact your application provider.

BarcoMed Driver Tab  
Static Gray Palette with NO system colors  
This option sets the palette to be a static linear ramp of 256  
shades of gray. Therefore, applications are denied the ability to  
dynamically change or allocate palette entries. This prevents  
palette conflicts between applications, which can cause image  
color values to appear distorted in the background application.  
As shown in figure 39, each of the 256 entries in the palette has  
an RGB value of (i, i, i) where i is the index from 0 to 255.  
Figure 39  
If you wish to use a static gray palette we recommend using the  
“Static Gray Palette including Standard System Colors” option  
instead of this one. This is due to the fact that some applications  
assume that the first and last 10 entries of the palette are the  
standard system colors. In this palette mode, these entries are  
made up from entries in the bottom or the top of the gray ramp.  
Please note that dithering is not permitted while in this mode.  
The Enable Dithering check box will be grayed-out, and dithering  
will be automatically disabled regardless of whether this check  
box is checked. This complies with the Windows standard  
interface method. If you are unsure whether or not your  
application requires this “Static Gray Palette with NO System  
colors” mode, contact your application provider.  
Drawing Modes  
In the Drawing Mode section you can choose from the following  
Drawing Modes. If any of the options in this section are grayed  
out, then they are not available for the model controller with  
which you are working.

BarcoMed Driver Tab  
Enable DirectDraw  
This option allows the user to enable or disable DirectDraw.  
DirectDraw is a software interface that provides direct access to  
display devices while maintaining compatibility with the  
Windows graphics device interface (GDI). DirectDraw provides a  
device-independent way for applications to gain access to the  
hardware features of specific display devices. If you enable  
DirectDraw, your application will have the choice of using  
DirectDraw or GDI. If you disable DirectDraw, your application will  
use GDI instead of DirectDraw. Please note that in any case, your  
application can always use BarcoMed driver functions (i.e.  
WinBarco) or other graphics extensions (such as OpenGL).  
Monitor Configuration  
If the options in this section are grayed out, then they are not  
available for the model controller with which you are working.  
Under Windows 2000 and Windows XP you can enable or  
disable DualView through the drop-down menu.  
In SingleView mode the Monitor Configuration section allows you  
to select the number of monitors that the current display boards  
should drive, as well as how the monitors should be positioned.  
For example, if the current board installation is capable of  
driving four heads, but you only have three monitors which are  
placed in a single row, then you can select the “Three  
monitors–one row” option from the pull-down list. This would  
cause the Windows virtual desktop to be resized to fit on the  
three monitors, and you can move your cursor horizontally from  
one screen to the other. If “Custom Configuration” is displayed, it  
means that the current monitor configuration was set via the  
registry and it doesn’t agree with any of the configurations that  
the display control panel supports. Contact Barco Medical  
Imaging Systems for further information.

Configuring the Windows 2000 or Windows XP desktop  
Important: If you are using a color display in conjunction with  
your Barco grayscale display(s) you should configure your  
desktop before setting the resolution of the your Barco grayscale  
display(s).  
Under Windows 2000 or Windows XP the recommended  
configuration for best grayscale image quality when using a color  
display in conjunction with your high-resolution grayscale  
display(s) is to set the color display as the primary monitor. Then  
set the colors setting on the “Settings” tab of the Windows  
Display Control Panel to the highest possible color depth (e.g. 32  
bits-per-pixel “true color”) supported by the color display’s  
controller.  
The colors setting for your high-resolution grayscale displays  
should default to 256 colors (8 bits per pixel). The palette mode  
for the your high-resolution grayscale displays should be set to  
Static Gray palette with NO system colors. This guarantees that  
the all of the 256 gray levels available for GDI graphics will be  
present, and also eliminates the danger that colors will change  
when focus moves among different applications.  
However, if you are using the Color to Gray Compatibility palette  
mode, the color setting for your high-resolution grayscale  
displays should default to True Color (32 bits per pixel). Even  
though this palette mode supports 32 bit True Color, we  
recommend that when using a using a color display in  
conjunction with your high-resolution grayscale display(s) that  
you still set the color display as the primary monitor.  
Configuring the DualView desktop  
Display Resolution  
Under Windows 2000 and Windows XP both displays connected  
to a single BarcoMed controller must have the same resolution  
settings in order to be attached to the desktop.

Cleaning  
Precautions  
Take care not to damage or scratch the panel.  
Do not apply pressure on the panel.  
Do not apply or spray liquid directly to the panel or cabinet  
as excess liquid may cause damage to internal electronics.  
DO NOT USE:  
- Strong alkalis lye  
(Lye is a strong caustic alkaline solution of potassium salts,  
obtained by leaching wood ashes. It is much used in making  
soap, etc.)  
- Acid  
- Detergents with fluoride  
- Detergents with ammonia  
- Detergents with abrasives  
- Steel wool  
- Sponge with abrasives  
- Cloth with thread made of steel  
- Other coarse tools  
Panel  
Important:  
We recommend to let this cleaning procedure be done in a Barco  
service center. If not, you must perform the cleaning in a clean  
and dust-free environment.  
1. If there are dust particles on the LCD panel, blow them away  
by using a dust remover. E.g., DUST OFF 67 (KONTAKT  
Chemie).  
A dust remover is composed of a blend of compressed liquid  
gases functioning as propellant. They provide a jet of dry  
Nio® medical display systems  
111  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Cleaning  
inert gas that acts like compressed air for a quick and safe  
removal of dust particles and other dry contaminants on the  
surface of the lcd panel or the glass panel.  
Attention: The dust remover contains a liquid gas. If you  
shake the can or move the can too fast while spraying, you  
may blow drops of liquid on the panel surface!  
If this is the case, clean the panel as described below.  
2. If the LCD panel is dirty or wet, take a lint-free, nonabrasive  
cloth and lightly moisten the cloth with a solution of 25%  
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and 75% de-ionized or distilled water.  
E.g.: Cleareen, a product of Certified Laboratories.  
3. Gently clean the panel with the moist cloth.  
4. Take another clean, dry, soft, lint-free cloth and gently wipe  
the glass dry.  
Cabinet  
Clean the cabinet using a recognized cleaning product for  
medical equipment. The cloth you use must be moist, not  
wet!  
Repeat with water only and wipe dry with a dry cloth.  
The cabinet has been tested for resistance to the following  
products:  
Cidex, Betadine, Alcohol (Isopropyl and Ethyl), Ammonia-  
based cleaners (Windex) and Aquasonic Gel.

Tip: These instructions apply to both Windows 2000 and

Windows XP.  
Important: If you are using a color display in conjunction with  
your Barco grayscale display(s) you should configure your  
desktop before setting the resolution of the your Barco grayscale  
display(s).

Troubleshooting  
Configuring the Windows 2000 or Windows XP desktop  
Under Windows 2000 or Windows XP the recommended  
configuration for best grayscale image quality when using a color  
display in conjunction with your high-resolution grayscale  
display(s) is to set the color display as the primary monitor. Then  
set the colors setting on the “Settings” tab of the Windows  
Display Control Panel to the highest possible color depth (e.g. 32  
bits-per-pixel “true color”) supported by the color display’s  
controller.  
The colors setting for your high-resolution grayscale displays  
should default to 256 colors (8 bits per pixel). The palette mode  
for the your high-resolution grayscale displays should be set to  
Static Gray palette with NO system colors. This guarantees that  
the all of the 256 gray levels available for GDI graphics will be  
present, and also eliminates the danger that colors will change  
when focus moves among different applications.  
However, if you are using the Color to Gray Compatibility palette  
mode, the color setting for your high-resolution grayscale  
displays should default to True Color (32 bits per pixel). Even  
though this palette mode supports 32 bit True Color, we  
recommend that when using a using a color display in  
conjunction with your high-resolution grayscale display(s) that  
you still set the color display as the primary monitor.  
Setting the resolution of your BARCOMED NIO display  
In order to set the resolution of your BARCOMED NIO display you  
must be logged in using an account with administrator privileges.  
1. To set the resolution of your BarcoMed Nio display(s) right  
click on the desktop and select “Properties”.  
2. Select the “Settings” tab.  
118  
Nio® medical display systems

Troubleshooting  
3. Select the rectangle that represents the first BARCOMED NIO  
display attached to the BarcoMed Nio display controller you  
are working with.  
NOTE: If you are using the VGA capabilities of your  
BarcoMed Nio display controller, the resolution for the first  
display may be set to a VGA resolution of “640 x 480” pixels  
with 16 colors and a default refresh rate. If your  
BarcoMed Nio controller is not running VGA, the display may  
not be enabled yet. To enable the display, check the “Extend  
my Windows desktop onto this monitor” checkbox, but do  
NOT click the “Apply” button at this time.  
If you installed your BarcoMed Nio drivers in SingleView  
mode (default for Windows 2000) there will be one  
rectangle for the virtual display representing the two heads  
controlled by each BarcoMed Nio display controller.  
If you installed your BarcoMed Nio drivers in DualView mode  
(default for Windows XP) there will be a rectangle  
representing each head controlled by each BarcoMed Nio  
display controller. This will be true even if you have only one  
display connected to your BarcoMed Nio controller. Both  
displays of a display controller cannot be enabled at the  
same time unless their display properties match. If necessary  
detach the second display of the BarcoMed Nio display  
controller you are working with by right clicking on the  
rectangle that represents it, deselect “Attached” and click  
the “Apply” button.  
Tip: Since Windows 2000 and Windows XP will not let you  
detach the primary display connected to a particular  
controller, you may need to temporarily make another  
display the primary display  
Caution: if you have a single display configuration and you  
have enabled DualView, Windows will not allow you to  
attach the second head. This is normal and not a bug.  
4. For the display which is still attached click on the  
“Advanced” Button.

Troubleshooting  
5. Select the “Adapter” tab and then click on the “List All  
Modes” button. Select the resolution and refresh rate that  
your BarcoMed Nio display supports from the dialog box and  
click “OK”.  
Tip: In the Adapter box, the Adapter string shows if this  
display is the First View or the Second View attached to the  
display controller. Please make a note of this, so that you can  
arrange the displays in the correct order later if necessary.  
6. Click “OK” on the bottom of the Adapter Control Panel. If the  
“OK” button on the bottom of the Adapter Control Panel is  
not visible, press the “TAB” key once and then press  
“CTRL”+“Enter” to select “OK”.  
7. Click “OK” in the “Windows will now apply your new  
desktop settings” dialog box. Your BarcoMed Nio display  
should now synchronize and display the Windows desktop.  
8. Click “Yes” when asked, “Your desktop has been  
reconfigured. Do you want to keep these settings?”  
To set the resolution of the second display attached to the  
BarcoMed display controller you are working with, go back to the  
“Settings” tab of the “Display Properties Control Panel”. Attach  
the display you detached in step 2 above, by right clicking on the  
rectangle that represents it and selecting “Attached”.  
Now repeat steps 5-8 above for this display.  
If you are using a Quad-Head Configuration repeat all of the  
above steps for the two displays on the second display controller.  
Tip: After installing DualView and setting the resolutions in a  
Quad-Head Configuration you may need to drag the heads into  
the proper position in the window on the “Settings” tab, so that  
the arrangement in the window on the “Settings” tab matches  
the physical arrangement of your configuration.

Glossary  
Calibration  
Each display is calibrated in the factory before it is sent to the  
customer. After this calibration, black and white luminance are  
set to the ideal level.  
A stabilization routine, constantly active when the display is on,  
keeps these levels constant using the built-in sensor.  
Display Controller head  
An display controller (graphics board) converts the digital data  
from the computer into digital or analog video voltages.  
Most of the common display controllers contain just one set of  
video and sync outputs. However, some high-end boards, like  
some of the BarcoMed boards, contain two sets of video and sync  
outputs. This is called a dual head display controller. It is like two  
complete display controllers implemented on one single unit.  
A dual head board in the computer behaves exactly as if two  
separate boards were installed.  
DICOM  
DICOM stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in
