Calibration Procedures
2.1 Entering Calibration Mode
The Affinity Series has four calibration screens which are used to setup and calibrate the x-
ray generating system, the automatic exposure control system, and the electro-mechanical
sub-systems (compression force, thickness, etc.).
Perform the following to access the Calibration Mode screens:
1. Turn the unit off.
2. To access the Host Microprocessor Board (Figure 6-1, Item 7), remove the Gantry right-
side panel as per Chapter 6, Section 2.1.1.
3. Locate DIP switch (S2) at the lower right side of the Microprocessor Board. Set the unit
for the Service Mode (S2 switch 1 = ON). Table 4-1 shows all the switch settings and
their functions.
4. Turn power ON. When the Run Mode appears, the unit is in the Service Mode.
5. The three user screens (Run Mode, User Default, and Exposure Default), the Debug
screen, and the three calibration screens (Cal #1, Cal #2, Cal #3, and Cal #4) are now
accessible by pressing Reset + Left Arrow or Reset + Right Arrow.
