The CIRS Dynamic Platform provides an economical, user-friendly solution
for the complex tasks associated with tumor motion and patient position-
ing in radiation therapy.
The platform is made from stiff, low-density plastics. The device enables
precisely controlled inferior-superior motion up to 50 mm for any phantom
up to 70 lbs. Multiple types of dosimeters and dosimeter arrays includ-
ing ArcCHECK® can be positioned on the platform and used for dose
verification of moving target treatment plan . A removable pin system in
the main platform allows consistent placement and fixation of almost any
phantom and traditional laser alignment marks enable accurate positioning
of the entire device. An independently controlled smaller platform provides
Posterior-Anterior surrogate chest wall motion.

The following are the recommended steps to install the “USB to Network Adapter” that was shipped with this phantom. The new Net-
work Connection must be setup as a Static IP address in order for the PC to communicate with the motion controller of the phantom.
Setup notes for Dynamic Phantoms with controller con-
necting to a PC using an Ethernet connection:
Note: The provided “USB to Network Adapter” can act as Plug and
Play device on some PC but CIRS recommends doing the installation
of the driver as outlined above.
1. To install the necessary driver, unzip the “USB-to-Network
Adapter” folder found on the provided USB drive or download
the zipped folder from the CIRS website. Unzip to a known
location and follow instructions from “Instructions.pdf”
document.
2. Follow the on screen steps and acknowledge all the mes-
sages related to driver’s installation. Once the driver installa-
tion is finished, plug the “USB-to-Network Adapter” into
your PC’s USB port and acknowledge the Windows installa-
tion message. Exit the “USB-to-Network Adapter Software”
menu by clicking Exit.
3. From the Control Panel, open the Network and Sharing Cen-
ter and then select “Change adapter settings”.
4. Providing that the installation of the “USB-to-Network Card”
was successful, the newly installed Network Adapter should
show as “ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter”.
Select it’s Properties using the right mouse click menu as
shown below.

4
5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on prop-
erties 6. In the internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) properties window, change from default “Obtain an IP address automatically” to
“Use the following IP address:” Enter “192.168.0.101” as the
IP address and “255.255.255.000” as the Subnet mask.
Note: If an IP address conict occurs because IP address
192.168.0.101 is already assigned to another Net
work Adapter, the user can try any other IP address between
192.168.0.102 and 192.168.0.249.
7. Once the IP address is entered, click OK. Connect the PC to
the Controller using the provided Ethernet cable by inserting
one end of the cable in the controller’s Ethernet port and the
other one in the “USB-to-Network Adapter”. Power on the
controller. To check that the PC to controller connection was
successful, ensure the icon of the “ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 to
Gigabit Ethernet Adapter” in the Control Panel matches the
image below. Network Connection can be renamed using the
right mouse click menu.
8. A more in depth check of the PC-to-controller communication
connection can be done by running a “ping command” in Com-
mand Prompt as seen in the image below. To ping the controller,
type “ping 192.168.0.250” and press enter. Ping certifies
IP-level connectivity to another TCP/IP device. If you receive
Ping statistics for IP address 192.168.0.250 (controller IP ad-
dress) the communication connection between the PC and
controller was successful.

(32 and 64 Bit)
Pentium 3®or equivalent
512 MB RAM, 2 MB of available disk space
INTRODUCTION
CIRS Motion Control is an application which allows you to control
the movement of the CIRS Model 008A Dynamic Thorax Phantom
and model 008PL Dynamic Platform. With CIRS Motion Control, you
can quickly set up a movement based on a library of pre-defined
motions, including Sin, Cos4, Cos6, Sawtooth, Sharkfin, Hyster-
esis ( Model 008A only) and Continous Drift, Transient Excursion,
Persistent Excursion, High-Frequency Excursion, or you can import
custom motion data from any tab-delimited or comma- separated
text file. CIRS Motion Control also allows you to save any motion
to easily access the same parameters for repeated calibration and
testing.
INSTALLATION
The CIRS Motion Control application requires the Trio PC Motion
library, which allows the computer to recognize the Trio controller
board in the Dynamic Phantom or Platform. To install the Trio PC
Motion library, double-click Trio_PC_Motion_ActiveX_2_12_0_Setup
and follow the steps in the InstallShield Wizard.
To install CIRS Motion Control, double-click MotionControl-
Setup or Setup and follow the steps in the Setup Wizard. The
Microsoft.NET Framework Version 3.5 is required for the ap-
plication to run.
GENERAL USE
The CIRS Motion Control Software is preinstalled on the optional
computer. Help can be launched from Help Menu. A copy of the
software is included on a CD or USB drive.
CIRS does not support 3rd party equipment. Please refer to the
included documents for warranty and service information for the
ACER brand computer (computer optional).
The software automatically creates a log file where data about wave-
form parameters are saved. The log file is usually located under the
current user in the Application Data folder. A Windows OS search
function can be used to find the log file. Searching hidden files and
folders should be enabled.
The log file provides a record of the motion history of the device and
can be used as objective evidence that proper QA was performed.
