System self-test
The Vivid S5/Vivid S6 ultrasound unit is designed for reliable
operation and consistent, high-quality performance. Automatic
self-testing facilities are provided to monitor system operation
and to detect malfunction as soon as possible, thereby
eliminating unnecessary downtime. The detection of any
serious malfunction may result in immediate interruption of
scanner operation.
System malfunction
In the event of error or system malfunction the user may
generate and export a log file to a removable media as
described below and contact authorized service personnel.
Adding bookmarks
When a problem occurs during regular use of the system, press
ALT - B. This inserts a "bookmark" into the system failure logs,
and a confirmation message appears on a prompt line (see
Figure 14-1). Bookmarks serve as time-stamps, indicating
where particular problems have occurred, while allowing the
user to continue working with minimum interruption. The
bookmark logfile assists service engineers in troubleshooting.
