4. In the QABrowser select type of
measurement.
5. Next select parameter mAs from the
menu.
6. The Select Detector screen is now
displayed. Select the MAS-3 probe.
7. Tap Select.
8. The real-time display for mAs is now displayed. Set the generator. Tap Reset. Make
an exposure.
9. The figure to the left shows the result from
an exposure with 80 kV, 100 ms, and
100 mA. The exposure time is measured
with the electrometer module (EMM).
If you would get a message as shown in the
figure to the left, the mAs probe is probably
connected in the wrong direction. Change
the direction of the mAs probe, tap Reset
and make a new exposure.
Since the MAS-3 probe is based on measurement of magnetic flux, false triggering
may occur due to electrical noise when the pre-heat is started and the anode starts to
rotate. If you get incorrect or inconsistent results try the following:
· First start anode rotation without firing the exposure.
· While the anode is rotating tap Reset or press corresponding button. Make the
exposure when the reset procedure is finished.
