• Ion Chamber Configuration setting: Accesses the Ion Chamber
Configuration screen, which is used to configure each ion chamber
interfaced with the system (two separate ion chambers, of either slope
or level type, can be interfaced to the generator)
• Tomo setting - Accesses the Tomo configuration screens for setting up
the system for interfacing with the Siemens or Pausch tomography
systems (available settings are Siemens, Pausch, or OFF (none))
To change a configuration setting, press the key next to the configuration selec-
tion to be changed. After all configuration settings are set appropriately, press
the key next to the Main field. The configuration settings are saved in non-vola-
tile read-only memory (NVROM) and the system returns to the main Service Menu
(see Figure 3-3).
The following paragraphs provide specific instructions for setting each of the
available configuration selections.
Printer On/Off Setting
When configured to do so, the HF Series X-ray generator will print
post-exposure factors (kVp, mA, time, mAs, etc.) to an externally interfaced
device such as a label printer. The label printer must comply with the follow-
ing serial communication protocol:
9600 baud rate, no handshake, 1 start bit,
1 stop bit, no parity
. To connect a printer, attach an RS-232 serial cable
between the printer and the RS-232 A16J2 9-pin connector on the rear panel
of the Operator Control Panel.
The Service Configuration Screen displays the current printer setting. When
set to On, the generator will provide serial output data to an externally con-
nected printer. When set to Off, serial data output for a printer is disabled.
Note: The printer setting has no affect on upload or download functionality
using Q-Ware software.
