Indirect programming of detector framing node
First Claim
1. A programmable image data acquisition system, comprising:
- a host computer having at least one host processor to execute operations with a host operating system and a host memory to store image data; and
a programmable detector framing node to receive image data output from an image detection system and communicate the received image data to the host memory, said detector framing node being selectably programmable by reading a programmable memory unit after power is initially applied thereto.

Abstract
A real time imaging system includes a programmable detector framing node controlling generation of radiation and controlling radioscopic image detection. Radioscopic image data is acquired and communicated by the detector framing node independently of a host computer operating system. The detector framing node controls events in real time according to an event instruction sequence and communicates the received radioscopic image data to host memory through a computer communication bus. The image data is received from a selected flat panel detector of a plurality of different flat panel detectors. The detector framing node is programmable by way of a pair of JTAG loops. The JTAG loops receive programming instructions from the host computer and from a pair of JTAG ports.
