5.9 Reading Environment

5.9.1 Description

Overview
The reading environment settings for diagnostic displays allow the user to specify the color temperature and
luminance of SteadyColor-calibrated displays. The reading environment for non-diagnostic displays allows the
user to specify the maximum luminance on Barco clinical displays and third-party displays, however color
temperature selection is not available.

Supported display controllers
When driven by an MXRT-x500 or later display controller, the Reading Environment can be configured on
MDMC-12133, MDNC-6121, MDCC-6530, MDCC-4430, Barco MDRC displays, and third-party displays.
Diagnostic reading environment configuration is available on Coronis Uniti displays that are
calibrated with QAWeb 1.13.01 or later, on MDNC-6121 displays that are configured with QAWeb
1.13.10 or later, and on MDCC-6530 and MDCC-4430 displays calibrated by QAWeb Enterprise 2.2
or later.

5.9.2 Operation

Using Reading Environment for SteadyColor Diagnostic Displays
The configuration of the Reading Environment is complimentary to the QAWeb settings. If the SteadyColor
display is calibrated by the QAWeb 1.x Agent and the workstation is not connected to the QAWeb 1.x Server,
all the controls in this section are available in the Barco System Settings Control Panel. If the workstation is
connected to the QAWeb 1.x Server, use the server to set the reading environment. If the display is calibrated
by the QAWeb Enterprise Agent, only the white-point chromaticity is calibrated through the Barco System
Settings Control Panel.
Configure the white point chromaticity, ambient light, color calibration model, and calibrated luminance to user
preference. After the settings have been changed, the QAWeb Agent will check if it has calibration files for the
new settings. If it does, it will upload the calibration data to the display, which may take 20-60 seconds. If it
does not have the calibration files, it will calibrate the display to create them, which may take up to 10 minutes.
When changes to the Reading Environment for Diagnostic Displays are made, the Barco System
Settings Control Panel will indicate that changes are still in progress. Please let the system apply its
changes before proceeding with readings.
Using Reading Environment for Non-Diagnostic Displays
Reading Environment can be individually enabled on each non-diagnostic display to reduce its luminance.
Unlike DimView, the luminance of these displays will not change with cursor movement. The Reading
Environment feature can be used in conjunction with DimView.

5.9.3 Configuration

Configuring Reading Environment for Diagnostic Displays
• Use the settings QAWeb already has: When selected, reading environment settings for diagnostic
displays are disabled in the Barco System Settings Control Panel.
• Suggest the following settings to QAWeb: When selected, the reading environments are modifiable.
