1. In the receptors window, select a receptor in the list to modify.
2. To rename the receptor, select the Name field (touch the field or left
mouse click on the three dots at the right end of field). A data entry key-
board will display. Using the keyboard, edit the receptor name as
required, then press the Enter key.
3. The Group field setting identifies which of the four Receptor buttons on
the operator control panel (Wall, None, Table, or Aux) will be linked with
this particular receptor. To change the "Group" setting, touch or mouse
click on the Group field. A drop down list box of the receptor buttons
will open. Select the desired receptor button.
(Note: The Aux button is
only functional on generators equipped with "Universal" type AEC.)
4. The PhysicalReceptor field setting identifies the receptor location
where the ion chamber is physically located (Table, Wall, Wall2, or Aux).
Wall and Wall2 are generally used for separate calibrations of 40 and 72
SID locations of a wall cassette holder. To change the "PhysicalReceptor"
setting, touch or mouse click on the PhysicalReceptor field. A drop
down list box containing the physical receptors will open. Select the
desired receptor.
(Note: The Aux and Wall2 receptors are only functional
on generators equipped with "Universal" type AEC.)
5. Aec Enabled Check box: Select "Aec Enabled" to enable AEC operation
with this receptor. The only receptor not enabled for AEC is "None".
6. The Target Level, BaseCalibration and KvCalibration are display only
fields. Target Level is this desired optical density value selected during
AEC calibration; Base and kV calibration dates and times indicate the last
time AEC calibration was performed.
7. The Add, Delete and Duplicate buttons below the receptors window
provide the ability to add new receptors and delete existing receptors
from the list, and duplicate existing receptors for the purpose of creating
copies for modification.
