End Delay; Setting Up The Hardware - Radcal ACCU-GOLD2 User Manual

Accu-Gold
The Accu-Gold Pre-Pulse algorithm automatically detects the correct trigger threshold and eliminates
pre-heat pulse counting. The duration and pulse count are reported excluding the pre-pulse region. KVp
is calculated over the last 60% of main exposure. Dose is calculated for the entire exposure, including
the pre-pulse region.

End Delay

Many modern x-ray generators now feature scout exposures which may introduce gaps of several
seconds or more in the radiation output. The default end of exposure timing for Accu-Gold is 1 second
for Diagnostic sensors and 3 seconds for Mammographic sensors. In some instances, this is not long
enough and Accu-Gold may attempt to display the exposure results while the generator is finishing the
exposure. If this situation is encountered, you may select an end of exposure delay of up to 8 seconds.

Setting up the Hardware

To set up the Accu-Gold hardware
1. Connect the sensor(s) to the digitizer. Connect the USB cable to the digitizer and then the
computer.
2. Position the sensor to make a measurement.
Note: Position the sensor before clicking the Connect button; moving the sensor or cable after
