Tube Operating Modes

intermediate boost:

 

(intermediate boost explanation see doc FAULTFINDING  function unit FU_mA)

 

enable   =   double boost mode active (default)

 

Active,      if emission current (Ie) in a range of                      [ Ie max - 20% ] ... [ Ie max ]

Inactive,   ifemission current                                            < [ Ie max - 20% ]

and if 'single step' has been programmed at 'Exposure switch type' at 'Data Set A' .

 

Recommended for children hospitals and casualty rooms (long preparation times).

 

disable   =   single boost mode

 

rotation prolongation after prep

Only possible with HIGH SPEED rotor control units

 

 

 

disable   =   (default)

                               Anode stops immediately after exposure end or let go of the PREP hand-switch if PREP has been started from standstill.

 

enable   =   Once started with PREP from standstill the tube keeps rotating for 30 seconds after the last let go of PREP as long as no exposure has been switched. The tube finally stops if an exposure has been switched (or after 30 sec).

 

 

For exposure series

                          if  ‘Exposure series / Tomo movement’ = yes has been programmed at RGDV ‘Data Set A’.

                          Exposure series have to be started with a fluoro command, afterwards the tube keeps 9000rpm exposure speed for 30 seconds after the last prep or fluoro.
