Introduction:
When a hardware or software problem occurs on a Barco medical system which needs to be further evaluated by the Barco engineers, it's important to collect all hardware and software technical information from that system (Workstation + Display controller + Monitor)
By following this step by step guide, you will be able to perform a BarcoMed SelfExam (hereafter: BMSE) report and send the report together with your error description to the Barco customer service team.
