Module 2 System Hardware and Theory 
The goal of the System Hardware and Theory Module is to provide 
you with a solid grounding on the purpose of the GE Logiq E9/Vivid E9 
system’s different components and how they function together 
within the system. 
The Logiq E9 is a general system with the capability of performing 
cardiovascular, abdominal, urologic, pediatric and women’s health 
exams.and has been produced since 2009. The focus of the Vivid E9 is 
cardiovascular exams. We will use a color coded system to call out the 
differences where necessary. Text that appears in orange applies only 
to the Logiq E9 and green text applies only to the Vivid E9. 
The GE Logiq E9 and the Vivid E9 systems are quite similar but there 
are some differences. There are also some differences between 
versions of the same system. For example, in later versions of the 
Logiq systems the functionality of the Digital Receiver Boards (DRXs), 
Analog Receiver Boards (GRXs) and the Global Front End Interface 
(GFI) are replaced with the single MRX board. 
The three major functional blocks in all ultrasound systems are: 
 Front End – Includes transducer analog signal processing 
functions. 
 Back End – Includes user interface and system communication 
with DICOM systems.  
 Power Systems – Generates, regulates and supplies the required 
voltages to the various parts of the system. 
In the GE E9 systems the GTX board(s) in the Front End Processor, 
generate the signals transmitted by the probes as ultrasound into the 
body. The Transmit bursts are routed from the GTX board via the XD 
bus to the Relay board where the ultrasound probes are 
connected.the input signals travel from the probe connector panel to 
the front end Front End Processor (FEP), then to the Back End 
Processor (BEP), and finally, the results are displayed on the monitor. 
System configurations are stored on a hard drive which resides inside 
the BEP, and all necessary software is loaded from the hard drive on 
power up.
