3.3.2.2. SUJ

The dVRK SUJ controller should be mounted on the back of the vertical column of the patient cart. The enclosure comes with 4 holes that should match existing screw holes on the column. You should:

  • Remove the existing plate

  • Leave the 4 thin gray cables untouched (these are for the potentiometers measuring the up/down translations for the SUJ)

  • Use spacers between the column and the dVRK SUJ controller to prevent crushing the cables

  • Connect the SUJ connectors. There should be enough space below the controller to run the SUJ-PSM1 and SUJ-ECM cables under it.
