Ultrasonix troubleshooting
Troubleshooting the Ultrasonix system
The major problem we have with the Ultrasonix Tablet is that the built-in display often flickers and sometimes goes dark. To work around this issue, and to make it possible to view the ultrasound image inside the soundbooth, we have attached two external monitors to the Ultrasonix's external monitor port via a splitter.
If the built-in screen has gone dark and the external displays are also dark, try these steps:
- Make sure the external monitors are powered on.
- Unplug both of the external monitors' video connectors from the splitter, then plug them back in.
If there is still no display, it is possible that the Ultrasonix has chosen a video mode that the external monitors are not capable of displaying. Normally in this situation you will notice that the external monitors will display the Ultrasonix splash screen and boot options on a restart, then go dark when Windows begins starting. The following steps should fix this situation.
- If the built-in monitor is dark, wait at least 60 seconds after boot for Windows to finish starting. Press Ctrl-Shift-t (all three keys simultaneously), which should force the external monitor to be used as the primary display and turns off the built-in display. Now you should be able to see what you are doing.
- To enable display to both the built-in and external monitors, press Ctrl-Alt-F12 (all three keys simultaneously) to pull up the Intel Graphics Control Panel. Under General Settings select the Clone Dell 1905FP profile and click OK.
