¶ Increase size of buttons in Office Medic application on small screens with high resolution
By default, the size of the buttons in Office Medic do not change when DPI settings are adjusted in Windows. To force these DPI changes, we must use the Application Compatibility options available in Windows.
To do this:
- Find the Office Medic icon on the desktop
- Right-click on the icon and choose Properties
- Click on the Compatibility tab
- If you need to adjust the setting for all users on this computer, click on the Change settings for all users button; if you don't have permission to do this or you only need this setting for the current Windows user, proceed to the next step
- Click on the Change high DPI settings button
- Tick both boxes on the form, change the first dropdown to I open this program and the second dropdown to System (Enhanced)
- Click OK button for the two open property pages (three if the settings were changed or all users)
¶ Office Medic ECG capture performance issue on slower CPUs
On Intel Atom CPUs and systems with slower processors, if an ECG test is run with the Leads view set to 3x4 View, the timer may appear to lag at times and Office Medic may crash after a minute or two. If you see the timer misbehaving, it could be this issue or it could be an issue with the latency setting for the FTDI adaptor used with the ECG.
To work around this specific performance issue:
- Open Office Medic from the icon on the desktop
- Go to the Options menu, then to ECG…
- Click on the Acquisition Settings tab, then change the Leads dropdown to 12 Leads - this will adjust the default view when capturing an ECG
- Click OK and close Office Medic
¶ Error when producing a PDF from Office Medic - Error 1012: You have an old version of Ghostscript installed
When producing a PDF in newer versions of Office Medic, an error may appear as follows:
Window title: PDF Writer - bioPDF
An error occurred.
Error 1012: You have an old version of Ghostscript installed. Ghostscript version 8.50 or newer is required. Please install a newer version.
Source: GUI
Internal hint: Run converter to create PDF file
Developers: You can hide this message with the "suppreserrors" setting.
This means that some old GhostScript files are hanging around in the Office Medic directory. To fix this:
1. Download the latest GhostScript version install files for both Windows x86 and Windows x64 from https://www.ghostscript.com/releases/gsdnld.html
2. Install both packages on the computer, installing to the default directory; keep note of the install directory for each package
3. Go to the installation directory for the x64 package then open the folder named bin
e.g. C:\Program Files\gs\gs10.06.0\bin
4. Copy the files from the bin folder directly into the bioPDF installation directory
e.g. Copy from C:\Program Files\gs\gs10.06.0\bin
To: C:\Program Files\bioPDF\PDF Writer\gs\
5. Repeat process for the files in the profiles directory, copying all from the folder to the bioPDF folder.
e.g. Copy from C:\Program Files\gs\gs10.06.0\profiles
To: C:\Program Files\bioPDF\PDF Writer\gs\
6. Go to the installation directory for the x86 package then open the folder named bin
e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\gs\gs10.06.0\bin
7. Copy the files from the x86 bin folder directly into the bioPDF installation directory
e.g. Copy from C:\Program Files (x86)\gs\gs10.06.0\bin
To: C:\Program Files\bioPDF\PDF Writer\gs\
This issue should now be resolved! Try producing another PDF.
