The Discovery Operator’s Console consists of a Pentium PC on a convenient, roll-around
computer cart designed specifically for the Discovery PC. AC power from the scanner is
fed to the Operator’s Console via a power strip attached to the PC cart.
The Pentium PC contains the video controller board to drive the monitor and the PCI
Communications Controller Board to interface the PC to the Scanner. A modem card is
provided for remote communications with other PCs. A Network Interface Card (NIC) is
installed to control communications with the Hologic QDRNet

or a DICOM

network.
The mouse gives the operator easy control over the Windows XP-based Discovery
software and the keyboard is used for data input to the Discovery software. A color inkjet
printer is provided with the PC. An optional laser printer can be substituted for the inkjet
printer.
