How to Configure the Scan System for the Gem80Scanner

Complete the following steps to configure the scan system for the Gem-80 scan task:

1. Ensure that the Digital Pathworks-32 version 7.1A or greater software is installed on the machine that the scan task will be running on.
2. Configure the scan system by specifying the appropriate information in the scan system configuration area of the database.
3. Run RTAP with the Gem80Scanner included as an entry in RtapEnvTable, with the autostart phase field set to 0 (zero).

Refer to the Scan System section in the RTAP/Plus Integration Manual for configuration of device-independent sections of the scan system. The following sections describe the device-dependent information for the GEM-80 protocol scan task, including the following:

1. The point format for the Gem-80 device specific information.
2. The device-dependent attributes and fields that you must configure.
3. The device-dependent attributes and fields the scan system sets.
4. The device-independent attributes that the Gem80Scanner uses in a special way.

Italicized attribute and field names in the following tables represent attributes and fields that you must assign values to. Non italicized entries are set or used by the system.
