Description
The detector is an x-ray imaging device. It consists of an array of 2022 x 2022 pixels (40.4 x 40.4 cm).
Each pixel is attached to a data acquisition circuit that converts incoming x-ray signal to 14-bit digital
data.
The detector is constructed from a metal case. The front face contains a graphite x-ray imaging window.
The back face contains the usage instructions and safety warnings.
Figure A1-1 shows the front of the detector, which faces toward the x-ray source.
