MammoCom Setup & Operation
1. Introduction
MammoCom is a GE Healthcare proprietary communication software program for GE-authorized Field Engineers
servicing the company’s various Senographe products. The software (loaded onto a laptop PC) provides diagnostic
assistance using a serial link to the Generator Interface Bd, 400PL2. Detailed user instructions for this software are
described in the DMR Advanced Service Manual (“ASM”) Chapter 2, and other Senographe ASM’s.
MammoCom software is composed of
several operating modules: (1) ANSI–
compatible VT200 terminal emulator, (2) Start

Copy all of the files to your HDD from the distribution CD (or other media).
3.2. Insert a memory stick into a USB port.
Memory capacity is not critical. The boot and Mammocom program files require about 406 KB storage space.
One DMR backup file set requires about 15 KB. Therefore, a basic 16 MB stick is sufficient.
CAUTION: If you are using a memory stick that already contains data, copy or move the files elsewhere NOW.
3.3. Install the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
Launch the SP27213.exe installation program. Follow the
prompts to license agreement, destination, and so on.
When the installation is complete, you will have a new icon
on the desktop, HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool.

3.5. Copy MammoCom files to Memory Stick

Copy the stav.exe and stav.dat files to the memory stick.
The memory stick setup is now complete. To use it, you can jump ahead to the Testing step below, or perform
the next step, Change BIOS Boot Sequence, for easier operation.
3.6. Change BIOS Boot Sequence (optional)
Your laptop PC BIOS has a setting that determines the order in which media (HDD, CD-ROM, USB, etc.) is searched
for operating system boot files. By re-sequencing the search order, the memory stick can be set as the first item
checked. If your

4. Using MammoCom
4.1. Launching MammoCom
Boot the PC from the USB memory device. The command screen will show a prompt indicating drive C. Drive C
refers to the root directory of the USB memory device. All MammoCom related files (Backup, etc) must be
stored here or in a sub-directory, because none of the other drives (HDD, floppy, CD/DVD, etc) are available.
At the C:\> prompt, type stav.exe and press <enter>. The MammoCom application begins and displays the
main menu.
4.2. Main Menu
The MammoCom Main Menu has six items. To select
an item, up- or down-arrow, then press <enter>.
Detailed information for each can be found in the
DMR ASM, Ch. 2.
Terminal emulator – connect to DMR
Change com. parameters – adjust COM settings.
Use defaults to connect with DMR.
File transmission – transfer files (ASCII or Coded)
to/from DMR.
Save emulator screen – the content of the Figure 7 MammoCom Main Menu
terminal emulator screen is saved to an ASCII
file.
Dos shell – used to access MS-DOS without exiting from MammoCom.
Clear emulator screen – refreshes the terminal emulator screen.
4.3. Terminal Emulator
Performing a Backup, Restore, or other maintenance
procedures require a connection between the laptop
and DMR.
Attach the serial cable (GE №2116257) between
the PC COM port and 400PL2/XJ4.
Select Terminal Emulator <enter>, then press
function key F10: Connect. The screen is
arranged similarly to the DMR control console
(buttons, labels, display). The PC function keys
behave as the console buttons. Pressing them is
similar to pressing the console buttons to
navigate menu access paths (refer to the DMR Figure 8 Terminal Emulator Screen
ASM for menu diagrams).
Prepare the laptop (“PC”)
Initiate the transfer.

5.1. Backup File Byte Size
Use the file size values in this table to verify that the generator or gantry backup files were saved correctly. Even
though the “file reception successful” message may appear, poor data transfer may result in a defective file.
Checking the byte count will confirm a successful transfer.
