5 Measurements with the Barracuda System
Introduction5.1
The Barracuda system has a modular design and can presently, using an MPD and an
electrometer module, measure up to eight parameters simultaneously plus three
waveforms from a single exposure:
· kVp
· Dose and dose rate
· Exposure time
· mAs and mA
· Estimated total filtration and determined waveform type
· kV waveform
· Dose rate waveform
· mA waveform
Using the MPD alone, 6 parameters and two waveforms can be measured
simultaneously. At present, the analogue waveform from the detector in the MPD is
only displayed in real-time on an oscilloscope connected to the analogue output of the
MP-SEM.
