Setting the tube-current reduction

In Mammomat, the tube-current reduction is factory-set to "ON", which means that the
tube current is reduced to approx. 50 mA during the first 100 ms of the exposure. In this
way, possible grid lines are avoided.
If the tube-current reduction is set to "OFF", grid lines may occur at short exposure times
(< 100 ms).
