Chapter
1 - Service
Characteristics
The aim of this introductory chapter is to illustrate some of the characteristics of
the 7340 of fundamental importance to the technical staff, in particular, where to
find the equipment status and how to keep it up to date.
Identifying the boards

Most boards of the 7340 are identified:
• by its Reference (950..), which is always indicated on the external side

of one pull tab, and its description, which is indicated on the internal
side of the pull tab.
• by the Serial Number (SN), indicated on the external side of the other
pull tab.
• by the Configuration Index (CI), indicated by two decimal figures on
the internal side of the pull tab. The Configuration Index represents
the HW level of the board. The Configuration Index is loaded in
specific components mounted on each board.
• when applicable, by its Firmware (FW) level, displayed in the System
Configuration screen, Firmware Option (see below).
The Input, Keyboard and TGC boards are not equipped with pull tabs thus this
information is on labels affixed on the printed circuit.
Configuration Screen
From the keyboard you can display the Configuration Screen. To do this, press the
MENU key and select SYSTEM CONFIGURATION option. The unit will show:
SECTION 1 1
7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
The system configuration screen is organized in five folders:
• General
• Licenses
• Boards
• Firmware (2 folders)
To select a folder, use the trackball to position the cursor over the correct tab and
press ENTER.
General
The screen displays:
Serial number It is the unit serial number
System Software The displayed data indicate:
• the release resident in the Processor board (RES).

• the Output Data System release (ODS).
Refer to Section 3 for • the installed SW releases (STD). The first three digits (the digits 8.10
further details on the
7340 boards
shown in the above screen shot) refer to the software release installed
in the Processor CPU, the other eight digits (the digits 016-191[012]
shown in the above screen shot) refer to the software release installed
in the ETX board, where the Windows® operative system is managed.
Video standard It reports which video standard (PAL or NTSC) has been set.
Licenses
The activable licences are listed in these fields.
SECTION 1 2
7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
See further in this Service technician can activate the licenses.

manual to know how
to activate a Demo
license
A demo license lasts five hundreds (500) working hours. The “Demo licenses”
display allows to check the status of the activated demo licenses.
Boards
The BOARDS option has two columns.
The “Board” column lists all the installed boards. The “CI” column lists the
Configuration Index (the [NN] figures) of the installed boards.
Firmware
The unit displays:
SECTION 1 3
7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
The Firmware option shows the installed boards equipped with Flash EPROM
(“Board” column) and their Firmware version.
Please note that the Flash EPROMs located on the boards are partitioned into
several sectors. Each sector of the Flash is independent and therefore each of them
can be separately programmed.
To exit from the System Configuration screen press OK.
The System Configuration screen can be saved on USB pen drive through
EXPORT option. The system creates a .txt file containing all Configuration Screen
information.
When units are shipped from Esaote, prints of the initial configuration are placed
in a pocket located on the bottom cover of the device. The technical staff will be
responsible for keeping these prints up to date when the configuration of the
device changes.
Machine Self-test
At power-on, the Processor board executes a self-test to check:
• the Configuration Index and the FW level of the boards

• which SW release is installed
The result of this self-test is displayed for a short time, before the Exam Start
window appears. However you can access to the Configuration Screen by pressing
the MENU key and selecting the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION option.
The initial self-test has a dual function:
SECTION 1 4
7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
• “Self-configuration”
If new features have been added (e.g. a new license has been installed), the
Processor automatically reconfigures itself to manage the new devices. The
Configuration display indicates the changes made: with reference to the same
example above, the screen will show the new license name on the “Licenses” field.
• Control
The Processor board checks for internal conflicts and, if there are any, displays a
warning message.
Configuration Conflicts
If there are conflicts between the HW levels of boards, between HW and SW or
between the SW releases installed, the system stops at the General Configuration
screen and displays a warning message detailing the reason of the conflict. For
example, the unit displays the following message:
System Configuration Error: Board(s) not available or not compatible
All the fields that caused the conflict are displayed in red. If the cause is a board
having a configuration index incompatible with the HW level of the device, the
Configuration Index field of that board will be red. This screen thus represents a
useful diagnostic tool for technical staff. This screen may be bypassed by pressing
the CANCEL key and access gained to the Exam Start window.
Updating the device

Each unit has a The 7340 is designed so as to minimize the number of update procedures that
DVD Burner drive require changing or replacing hardware in the system. This is possible due to the
installed on the left-
hand side
use of Flash EPROM which may be updated by means of a Compact Disk without
having to disassemble the device.
The SW used on the machine is installed physically on the Processor board: the
procedure for updating the SW release does not require any boards or CI’s to be
changed. As we have seen, the release installed appears on the Configuration
display.
The same philosophy is used for storing all the probe control tables. Whenever the
number of probes managed by the 7340 is changed, the new Acoustic Output
Data must be loaded from the upgrading disk.
The release installed in the Flash EPROM is controlled using the Firmware option
of the Configuration screen.
If there are conflicts caused by the firmware release installed, the characters of
these fields will be displayed in red.

The disassembling Tool Dimension
procedures are
Dynamometric Phillips electric screwdriver Medium and small tip
detailed in Section 2
Long Philips screwdriver Medium tip
Slotted screwdriver Medium and small tip
Tweezers -
The use of an electric screwdriver allows the access time to be minimized. Low
torques are recommended.
In order not to damage the parts during the disassembling procedures, it is

CAUTION
recommended to use the torques values indicated in Section 2.
Etafoam support
Etafoam support If the lower cover is removed, the unit can be switched on only if laying on the
P/N 8400303000 support shown in the following picture.
The support allows the correct air flow to guarantee the unit will not overheat.
SECTION 1 7
7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
The unit is prone to overheating if switched on when not lying on the Etafoam
N O T E
support. Once the Power Supply reaches the protection temperature it cuts out
automatically.
Service procedures
Service key The service procedures that require an interaction with the unit, as for example the
P/N 8610264000 language setting, can be activated only through the service key. The service key is
provided with an USB connector and can be inserted in any of the two USB ports
placed on the rear panel.
The key must be inserted before switching on the unit, to be able to access to the
several service menus. If the procedure is not carried out properly, the system
doesn’t allow the access to the menu and, in some cases, the following message is
shown:
The symbol shown on the left is used in this manual to indicate all the procedures
that require the use of the key.
USB Medium and Re-Writable CD

To perform a complete check of the unit, it is suggested to always have an USB
medium and a re-writable CD. These tools allow the service technician to test the
functioning of the DVD burner and of the USB ports.
Upgrading Disks
It is suggested to always have the last revision of the unit upgrading disk together
with the pertaining upgrading instructions. These tools allow the service technician
to install again the software on the unit, should it be necessary.

Chapter
3 - Precautions
A series of precautions that must be observed each time you perform an operation
on the 7340 are emphasised below:
• the equipment must always be switched off before carrying out any
service operation. In the same way, all the probes and peripherals
(external monitor, printer, video-recorder...) must also be
disconnected.
• the boards must be removed when the equipment is powered off.
• an electrostatic discharge occurring through the contact with the
operator, can irreparably damage the electronic components on 7340
boards, that are sensitive to electro-static discharges: we therefore
recommend that you take precautions to prevent these discharges each
time a board has to be removed/installed. In operational terms, this
means:
o the machine must rest on an electro-static mat connected to
earth.
o the service technician must also be connected to the same
earth each time he removes or installs the boards.
o the boards and components must always be moved in their
special electro-static containers.
o for the service on the field, use the specific kits including the
anti-static mat.
The chapter entitled “7340 Parts List” details the sub-assemblies that are to be
considered sensitive to electro-static discharges (ESD).
When the board is ESD sensitive, you can find on the PCB master this symbol.

7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
Input board
The probes are physically connected to the Input board: this board's main function is that of
connecting the active connector to the Front End.
Three (3) connectors are fitted to the board: two of them are connectors for the electronic probes
(CONN. A, B), and the third is for the Doppler probe (CONNECTOR PEDOF).
The signals coming from the active electronic probe (A/B) are sent to the Front End.
The INPUT CONTROL block has two functions:
o to send the active probe identification code to the Control board.
o to have the board configuration which is displayed in the System Configuration screen.
SECTION 3 3
7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
TRX1 and TRX2 boards

The TRX1 board, together with the TRX2 board, manages the Reception/Transmission from and to
the probes. Moreover both the TRX1 and TRX2 boards manage the CW Doppler. The TRX2
transmits the CW Doppler signal; its reception is managed first by the TRX1 board then by the TRX2
one.
The transmission pulses are sent directly to the electronic probe. The signals coming from the probe
are pre-amplified. They then are summed before being sent to the internal bus.
Once summed, the signals enter a variable gain amplifier chain that depends on the TGC curve set by
the user. In the same blocks each signal is digitally converted.
The signals then enter two receiving blocks that delay, sum and filter the signals so that the output of
the board, which represents the RF signal, is sent to the Control board.
The Control board loads all the information concerning the delays (depending on the active probe)
for the reception into the RAM blocks mounted on these boards.
The TRX1 board is involved in the CW Doppler reception. It receives the signals coming form the
probes and delays them for the focalization. The Doppler frequency emitted in the event of CW is
eliminated and then the signal is sent to the TRX 2 board where the Doppler signal is processed
before being de-modulated by the Doppler board.
SECTION 3 4
7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
Control board
The Control board is a complex board that implements several functions:
1. it initialises the TRX1 and TRX2 boards.
2. it programs all the RAMs on the Front End boards involved in the signal reception.
3. it manages the Front End boards (TRX1, TRX2) during the acquisition scanning.
4. it processes the radio-frequency signal.
5. it detects the TGC gains so that the corresponding curve can be generated.
6. it manages a mechanical probe.
7. it detects the temperature sensor of the connected probe.
8. it sends the Clocks to the other digital boards.
9. it implements the scan conversion, generating the memory writing addresses.
10. it applies post processing elaboration (persistence) process to BW, CFM and Contrast data.
11. it manages the scanning generating the proper timings for the Doppler board.
12. it identifies the connected probes and the active one.
SECTION 3 5
7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
Doppler board
The Doppler board receives the radio frequency signal and extracts the Doppler (CW, PW and CFM)
information. The PW and CFM signals are digital data coming from Control board while the CW
signal CW coming from TRX2 board is analog.
The CFM data are filtered and de-modulated to extract the phase and quadrature components. The
high frequency components of the signal, associated with the moving targets, are then processed to
extract information concerning the speed, variance and power of the color signal.
The Doppler signal is demodulated, the CW Doppler signal is digitalized and then processed to
extract its audio component and calculates the Fourier transform.
SECTION 3 6
7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
Processor board
The Processor board contains two CPUs: the central processor (68340 block) and the ETX board.
The two CPUs are interfaced through a dedicated dual-port block.
The central processor manages the system, contains the resident program and the AOD probe
management tables. Management of graphic memory, physically located on the board itself, takes
place so that it is possible to superimpose the graphics on the echo image.
The central processor also manages the interface with keyboard, trackball and encoders, the VTR
serial interface and the footswitch. The EEPROM device, residing on the Mother board, contains all
the general machine information (configuration, set ups).
On the same board is mounted the ETX board that manages digital filing and contains the LAN and
USB connectors. The ETX board has access to the Image and ECG memories on Video board.
SECTION 3 7
7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
Video board
The Video board can be divided into three sections:
1. The Video section generating the output signals for external monitors and peripherals. The
image data from Memory section, the ECG trace and the Graphic data enter the look-up
tables that supply the digital Video signal to be converted to standard RGB. For the standard
television presentation, the data is sent to DAC convert that converts them in the RGB
analogue output signals. The data are sent to encoders for the color printer and the VTR. The
VHS or S-VHS signals can arrive as input to the Video board from a VTR. The signal from
VTR enters decoders whose outputs are sent to the Memory section.
2. The ECG section where physiological signals (the ECG) is processed for presentation on the
board. The ECG signal is filtered to eliminate the notch, the ECG sync timing is extracted
and the ECG signal is sent to the Processor board (for possible synchronizing with the
ECG being acquired). The ECG data are written into an internal memory. This block sends
the data to the Video section for screen presentation.
3. The Image Memory section is where the acquired echo information is physically stored. The
section inputs are the acquired echo signal coming from Control board (acquired echo data),
from Processor board (archived data) and from Video board itself (VTR).
The board manages the LCD brightness that can be adjusted through the keyboard.
SECTION 3 8
7 3 4 0 – S E R V I C E M A N U A L
Power Supply board

The Power Supply board is an Half Bridge with PFC control, universal mains voltage (100-240 V).
The board has an EMI/RFI filter with the bridge rectifier and isolation transformer in cascade. The
secondary contains the DC/DC converters that supply the 5, 3.3 and 2.2 and high voltage converter
for the 2D, PW and the CW Doppler mode.

settings and whenever the unit is upgraded.
Upgrading the 7340

Usually the procedure to upgrade a 7340 with a new software release has three
steps:
• Firmware upgrade
• Windows upgrade
• Internal processor re-synchronization
Typically the support used to upgrade the unit is a DVD containing all necessary
files.
Some software releases could have specific upgrading procedures (for instance the
Bios Set Up could be run before software upgrading): refer to the protected
service web site to know if a software release requires specific instructions.
The upgrading procedure will remove the drivers of all PC printers added by the
N O T E
service. The PC printer driver CDs are necessary to install again the printers.
The upgrading procedure will cancel the network settings. Before starting the
upgrade, copy all the settings so that the network can be configured again.
The upgrading could remove the Dicom settings. Before proceeding with the

Fault Description
The description of the fault has to be the more detailed as possible, since this
simplifies the problem identification and solution The following information
should always be reported:
• When applicable, the active probe.

• If the problem affects the real time functioning, the active application
and modality (for instance, in cardiac application with Doppler PW).
• If the problem affects the not-scanning operations, the involved
function (such as measurements, annotations, report..).
• If the problems is related to data archiving, the used support ( internal
Data Base, Dicom server..) and the kind of failure (data not
transferred, missing data..).
• If any background operation was running when the problem occurred.
• If the problem is related to the peripherals, the kind of peripheral and
its failure.
• If the problem is during the upgrading procedure, the used procedure
and the step.
• If the problem is intermittent and reproducible: whenever it is
possible, it is extremely useful for the fault identification to have a
kwon operations sequence that always reproduces the problem.
Together with this information, the description should state all the steps that cause
the problem (for instance during 2D-CFM scanning with PA230 probe in Cardiac,
the 2D sector was reduced to 45°, the CFM sector was set to concurrent. After
having saved a clip the scanning sector doesn’t follow the movements of the
trackball). Images and/or Clips showing the problems are of course other useful
items.
