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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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
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

BarcoMed Driver Tab
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.

BarcoMed Driver Tab
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.

The following options maybe set individually on each Barco
display even if they are connected to the same BarcoMed
controller:

Drawing Mode
Note: If the second display connected to any given BarcoMed
controller is not attached to the desktop when you set the Palette
Mode, Drawing Mode, etc. of the attached display, the second
display will inherit the properties of the first display when you
attach it 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

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.

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

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.

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
Medicine. It is a standard developed by the American College of
Radiology (ACR) and the National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA).
The standard specifies how digital image data can be moved
from system to system.
In addition, Supplement 28 Part 14 specifies a function that
relates pixel values to displayed Luminance levels and is called
Grayscale Standard Display Function.
