PanelCert (Panel Certification Tool)

What PanelCert Does
PanelCert is used to verify that the image detector is still within specifications after
performing a mapping to correct for bad pixels or lines. The image detector will be checked
to both U.S. and European standards. A detailed and summary report will be generated for
both specifications.
Installation
1. Open a DOS window by choosing Run from the Start menu, typing cmd in the
open combo box and then clicking the OK button on the Run dialog box, Figure 1.
Figure 1
2. Using the DOS window, create c:\panelcert directory
cd<space>c:\<return>
md<space>c:\panelcert<return>
3. Create c:\panelcert\data directory
cd<space>c:\panelcert<return>
md<space>data<return>
4. Copy all files from the PanelCert CD to c:\panelcert
copy<space>d:*.*<space>c:\panelcert<return>
Note: Drive d: is assumed, your actual CD drive letter may be different.
5. Close the DOS window.
6. Create a new environment variable called DRAPI_DIR.

Operational Notes
o Clicking on the question mark (?) next to the control boxes will provide help.
o If a detector fails the PanelCert qualification, try mapping the detector again
with fewer pixels. A common mistake is to map more than 17 pixels in a 5 by 5
area. This is a violation of the specification and will cause a failure.
o The reports will specify the X and Y coordinate of any failure. By using PixFix
and typing the coordinates into the View/Goto menu selection, the defect can be
found quickly.
o If desired, map names can be changed to something more meaningful by using a

hyphen character. All characters from the hyphen to the period will be ignored
but processed properly. For example, MP1234-tom.map is a legal name.
o Don’t keep any files in the c:\PanelCert\data directory. This directory is used as
a scratchpad and all files are erased each time the program is executed.
o Questions can be answered by calling Technical Support at 800-760-8342.
