3 POST-INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS
In this chapter, instructions how to set up and configure different Planmeca
Romexis system components, features and interfaces (such as DIDAPI,
TWAIN interface, PMBRIDGE interface, DICOM interface, Clinic
Management etc.) after installing the Planmeca Romexis software on
Windows operating system (OS).
NOTE
TWAIN Capture is only supported only on Windows operating systems.
Default Orientation
Specifies the default orientation for scanned images.
NOTE
If a separate button has been assigned to the source, Romexis Client must
be restarted for the change to take effect.
NOTE
For troubleshooting cases: A PMBridge log file is saved in the
%programdata%/Planmeca/Romexis/pmbridge folder. In normal mode,
patient information is not visible in the log file. Enable debug mode in the
PmBridge.ini file by adding DEBUG_LOG=1. This displays patient
information in the log for troubleshooting purposes only.
C:\Program Files\Planmeca\Romexis\pmbridge
32-bit and 64-bit Windows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Dimaxis.exe (Value Name: Path)
32-bit and 64-bit Windows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Planmeca\Romexis (Value Name:
pmbridge)
64-bit Windows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft
\Windows\CurrentV ersion\App Paths\Dimaxis.exe (Value Name:
Path)
64-bit Windows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Planmeca\Romexis
(Value Name: pmbridge)
NOTE
According to PMBridge SDK instructions, practice management software has
to add the folder 'Program' to the path obtained from registry. That is why the
complete path is not found from the registry.
NOTE
PMBridge installation updates the Dimaxis.exe registry key to point to
Romexis PMBridge folder. This disables PMBridge use with Dimaxis. If
PMBridge is still desired to be used with Dimaxis, the respective registry key
should be changed to point to Dimaxis PMBridge folder.
3.3.2 Users
PMBridge user group permissions can be altered to PMBridge user needs in
Planmeca Romexis Admin Module. For more information see section "Admin
module" on page 149.
The Romexis installer creates a user group PMBridge Users and a user
PMBridge to Planmeca Romexis database. When starting Planmeca
Romexis via PMBridge, the respected user is automatically selected
(Romexis.bat file's parameters uid (user id) and pwd (password) found
from the PMBridge installation folder).
Software requirements
• Planmeca Romexis Server version 3.8.3.R or newer
3.5.1 Installation
1. Insert Planmeca Romexis Implant Library USB flash drive.
5. Check the boxes next to the databases to which you want to install the
new Implant Library.
NOTE
If you are running a SOLID or ORACLE database, or your database
does not appear on the list, leave all selections unticked. SQL scripts for
manual database update install to your hard drive. Update the database
manually as instructed in section "Manual installation" on page 36.
NOTE
Make sure you have selected ROMEXIS Database Server.
3.6.2.1 Configuration
When the Romexis installer deploys MS SQL Server onto the server
computer, it also creates a Stored Procedure in the Romexis instance that
provides a facility to make backups from the Romexis database, and
transaction logs. To call the Stored Procedure a set of two SQL scripts and a
batch file is provided on the Planmeca Romexis installation media in the
\Tools\backup\ folder.
1. Copy the contents of the folder to an appropriate location such as:
C:\Program Files\Planmeca\Romexis\backup\
2. Modify the following file as instructed in the inline comments:
romexis_db_backup.sql (to configure database backup settings)
The following settings are provided in the file and should be adjusted to
fit the local backup needs. “1” denotes true while “0” denotes false:
• @backupfldr = ’c:\romexis_images’
Folder to write backup to, a subfolder 'romexis_db' is automatically
created and used. This must be changed to point to a safe location
that is available for tape backup.
• @reportfldr = 'c:\romexis_cache’
As above but defines location for writing reports of the backup
process.
• @checkattrib = 1
Defines if new backups should have their archive bit set. The Stored
Procedure will automatically delete backups older than defined by
dbretainunit UNLESS the files have their archive bit set to true. If this
is left at “1”, the old backups should have their archive bit set to false
when they are backed up to another media to prevent the file system
from being filled with backups.
• @dbretainunit = 'months'
Defines the period for which the backups should be preserved before
automatic deletion. Can be: minutes | hours | days | weeks | months |
copies.
• @dbretainval = 2
Specifies how many dbretain units to keep old backups.
• @rptretainunit = 'copies'
Defines the period for which to retain reports for. Can be: minutes |
hours | days | weeks | months | copies.
• @rptretainval = 30
Specifies how many rptretainunits to keep reports.
• @report = 1
Flag to indicate whether to generate reports or not.
NOTE
Remember to test the backup functionality after creating the task.
Use the Windows Scheduled Tasks service to setup a daily backup event as
follows.
1. Open Control Panel.
2. Open Administrative Tools.
3. Browse and open Task Scheduler.
5. Proceed with the Scheduled Task Wizard and choose Browse to select
the program. Browse to run_romexis_backups.bat that you have
copied to an appropriate location. (e.g. C:\Program Files
\Planmeca\Romexis\backup\).
On Windows 7, additionally add the path to the backup script folder to
the field Start in (optional).
13. Right-click on the Task and choose Run to test the functionality of your
setup. Example screens are presented below.
NOTE
The source and destination databases need to be updated to the same
Planmeca Romexis software version.

Only TIFF images can be reprocessed. Please set Image Type to TIFF in
Planmeca Romexis Configuration application before using Image
Reprocessing, see section "Imaging" on page 72.
To define the path for the external application, click the Select button.
Example
1. Browse to the Simplant-exe file.
2. Type the name of the Simplant and type -sf ”%0” in the Command Line
field.
NOTE
The launch feature requires that the receiving software is capable of
receiving file and patient information via command line. Please see the 3rd
party documentation for correct parameters.
For more information see section "External applications quick launch setup"
on page 180.
6.7.7.2 3D Binning
The 3D Binning option specifies pre-scaling performed on 3D images before
opened in the launched application. The operation is called binning and it
combines two or more adjacent voxels into one, reducing the resolution of
the resulting image. Binning does not affect the geometry or dimensions of
the image.
The valid settings are:
• Original resolution with no image processing. This is the default value if
left blank.
• Apply binning so that the volume shrinks to half of the original, so that for
example a 0.16mm resolution results in 0.32mm resolution.
• Apply binning so that the volume shrinks to one third of the original, so
that 0.16mm resolution results in 0.48mm resolution.
A recommended output to use in 3rd party implant planning software is
0.32mm or 0.48mm voxel size. When exposing in High resolution or
Standard modes (0.16mm,) use binning value 1 or 2 (resulting in 0.32mm or
0.48mm), and with the Low dose mode (0.32mm) use binning value 1 or
blank (resulting in 0.32mm).
6.7.7.3 CAD/CAM
The following options are available for CAD/CAM settings:
• Show 3M True Definition Import
The toolbar logo can be defined for each software and the launch command
can be customised when necessary using the 3D Imaging Application

PlanScan Control
• Port number
Defines the port number.
NOTE
Requires PmBridge.ini file configuration. Set DYNAMIC_PORT value to 1
and UNIQUE_PORTS value to 0.
NOTE
This option is not suitable when using DxStart, VDDS or similar integration
between 3rd party software and PMBridge. Dynamic socket port use
requires 3rd party software to bind directly to PMBridge and not close
PMBridge connection for the opened Romexis client session.
6.7.11 DICOM

COMPUTERNAME or CLIENTNAME of the client workstation.
Computername and/or clientname can be seen in Windows command line:
Windows Start Menu --> Run --> Type in "cmd" --> In the command line, type
in "set".
X-ray devices are mapped with their IP addresses.
For example, a Terminal Server environment with three ProSensors (ip-
addesses: 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3) and three Terminal
Server clients (clientnames: xpprosensor1, xpprosensor2, xpprosensor3)
would be mapped to each other the following way in the
ProSensorEthernetConfig.txt file.
xpprosensor1=192.168.0.1 xpprosensor2=192.168.0.2
xpprosensor3=192.168.0.3
NOTE
Each terminal server client must have access to the DIDAPI folder and a
working network connection to the X-ray devices.
