(6) correction factor

            The default value is 1 representing a density of 1.0. If no PC-hardkey exists, the density adjustment must be carried out by typing in the appropriate factor.

 

          PCR + DiDi:        1.00

 

          Without a PC hardkey: If the value has to be changed to the desired density after a test exposure + density measurement, the entire set has to be programmed again with a new correction factor.

If the PC-hardkey exists, use the function 'Start Automatic DRC  Processing' >> '<CANCEL>' and keep the correction value on 1, if not use the following formula:

 

 

          The name of the FSC is the abbreviation of the resulting speed and the color of the film screen combination. There might be names like B400 for a blue 400 speed combination or G200 for a green 200 speed combination. The default abbreviation name is taken from the speed class of the screen data set.
The name can be changed (only with the PC-hardkey), see 'Start Automatic DRC Processing’ = ‘<CANCEL>' or ‘<ESC>‘.

The name must be changed if different film screen systems with the same resulting name exist, otherwise the change from e.g. one G200 to a second one cannot be recognized at the control desk.

Combinations of systems with different colors cannot be programmed (not allowed by government law in most of the countries) the automatic way (even though they are used), it requires a special procedure.

 

If film screen combinations are used at different chambers a data set can easily be copied to other chambers/data sets once the first has been programmed (only with the PC-hardkey):

Use the '<CANCEL>' function, the data screen will be displayed. With the Save function <F3> the data screen can be loaded to the disk/hard disk with any file name (e.g. Ch1D1). If a data set is opened at another chamber the saved file can be Loaded with  <F4> + file name to the open data set. Transmit the data set with <F2> thereafter. The density alignment must be carried out for each chamber + data set.
