1. Whole Body Count Data
2. Background Data
3. Efficiency Data

Clicking on any of these three will bring the system into the background counting mode, as seen in the screen capture below.

Data Acquisition Figure-02

This screen should look quite familiar when you compare it to the DOS data collection screen:

1. The main data collection screen is the most obvious,
2. The "profile" window in the upper left corner should also be familiar, and
3. The information block in the upper right corner provides the same type of information as was available in the DOS program.

In the DOS program, you would press "Escape" to stop the background collection. In the Windows version of the "Helge" program you click on the "Stop" box in the lower right corner.

Notice how the screen has changed, in fact, if you look in the lower right corner where the "Stop" is located, you will see the cursor from the previous step and that the word "Stop" has been grayed out.

Looking in the lower right-hand corner, you see that you have three options:

1. Start a background count,
2. Start a count, or
3. Close this screen.

The names shown in the left screen capture come from the "Personnel Database," which is a database file from that is unique to a particular site. Each whole body counting system will have a database that pertains to that whole body countimg system. As you will note from this screen capture, you may type in an individual's name in the box at the top or you may use the scrollbar on the right to search for the name. The software is written, however, so let as you type each character of the individual's last name, the display changes to show names beginning with those characters. For this example I am going to jump directly to make a whole body in the next word a count for a Mr. Jack Chadwick. See this screen capture immediately below.

You should look at the data and verify that this is the person for whom you wish to perform a whole body count. You have two choices at this point:

1. You cannot edit this particular page in this part of the program. If something needs to be changed, you need to go to the Database Management to make any changes, or
2. You can accept that the information is correct and click "Next," which brings you to the next screen capture (in closeup).

Having clicked "Next," we obtain the next screen where the "Job Title" and the "Employer" boxes have been filled from their respective databases for this individual. Note that the "Reason for Count" has an option for choosing from a defined list, or you can add a new reason for the count to this list and the size of this list is determined only by the amount of disk storage space. In the old DOS program you could only have nine reasons for a count.

Therefore, the next step is to either choose to reason for the count or accept the one shown here. Clicking "Next" brings us to the next screen.

Data Acquisition Figure-07

We are almost ready to perform a count. Clicking "Next" brings up the following screen. Let us assume that the carriage is positioned correctly, which will be the normal condition. In this circumstance, the following screen will appear:

Data Acquisition Figure-08

Because it is possible that the carriage was not positioned correctly, let us consider that condition before we show the actual counting screens.

We see this screen if the carriage is not at one of the left or right limit switches. The operator should look at the position of the carriage and if it is not at a limit switch, you have three options (see these options below the following picture):

Data Acquisition Figure-09

1. If the detector Is not positioned correctly, you can release the clutch switch and manually push the carriage to whatever location where you want to begin the count. If you are doing a stationary count, this is where you would position the carriage such that the detector is directly above the particular organ you were trying to measure, such as the lung.
2. If you are going to do a standard moving detector whole body count, you can let the computer move the carriage to either the left or the right end.
3. if you're doing a stationary count and the detector has been positioned correctly, then the click the "Stationary Count" box.
