3.1.4 RADIOGRAPHIC PARAMETERS
kV DISPLAY can show:
• The radiographic kV value selected for the technique.
• The actual X-ray Tube heat unit value after pressing the “On” push-button
(Refer to Section 3.6).
• The error messages during a system fault, preceded by the letter “E”
(a.e., E02) (Refer to Section 3.9).
mAs DISPLAY can show:
• The radiographic mAs value selected for the technique.
• When an exposure is made with AEC, it shows the actual mAs at the end
of the exposure whenever the “Prep” push-button has not been released.
• If an exposure is aborted by releasing the “Exp” push-button during the
exposure, it shows the actual mAs value until the “AEC Rese t”
push-button is pressed to reset the error condition.
mA DISPLAY: Shows the radiographic mA value selected for the technique.
Time DISPLAY can show:
• The Time value (in s econds) selected for the radiographic technique.
• When an exposure is made with AEC, it shows the back-up time during
the exposure and the actual Time at the end of the exposure whenever
the “Prep” push-button has not been released.
• If an exposure is aborted by releasing the “Exp” push-button during the
exposure, it shows the actual Time until the “ AEC Reset” push-button is
pressed to reset the error condition.
RAD Displays canalsoshow:
• The actual Time, the calculated mAs, and the selected kVp and mA
radiographic parameters of the last exposure, with or without AEC, after
pressing the “AEC Reset” push-button (values flashing).
• The exposure counters (Refer to Section 3.7).
