Figure 3-16. Service Settings Menu
The Service Settings Menu provides access to various system settings. The fol-
lowing briefly describes the various Service Settings Menu selections:
• Set Date setting: Accesses the Set Date Screen for setting current date
• Set Time setting: Accesses the Set Time Screen for setting current time
• Film/Screen Defaults: Sets the film/screen combination that is used
as the default for each of the available receptors used with the
generator (i.e., Wall 40", Wall 72", Table 40", Wall2, and/or Auxilliary
receptor). This setting applies to AEC and APR AEC mode exposures
only. Each receptor used with the system requires that AEC calibration
be performed using the selected film/screen combination.
• APR Format: Configures the APR Procedure Screens to display or not
display the Film Speed and/or CM (thickness) screen fields when the
generator is operated in APR mode.
• Main: returns the system to the Service Menu (see Figure 3-3)
• Language setting: Sets language used for operator control panel
display screens/menus (i.e., English, French, Spanish, German, or
Italian).
• Back Up Time/MAS setting: Displays current, system-wide, AEC
exposure back up mAs setting (only functions on systems equipped with
QG-AEC option). The system allows for selection of a mAs setting
between 10 and 600 mAs (in 10 mAs increments). Note: APR
procedures have a separately configurable back up time/mAs setting
which, when lower in value, will override the system back up time/mAs
setting. Refer to APR Edit chapter in the Operator’s Manual for APR
procedure back up time/mAs settings.
