Page 12: Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction The PaxScan 2530W model family of radiographic digital image receptors is commonly referred to as a flat panel detector (FPD). The detector together with image processing and command software called Virtual Command Processor (VCP) is designed for integration into a complete X-ray system. The imaging system has two main system components: The flat panel sensor and VCP software.
Page 13: Optional Parts
(801) 972-5000. Intend Use The PaxScan 2530W model family is designed to meet the needs of general radiography diagnostic for medical and veterinary use in portable applications utilizing multiple sensitive and extend dynamic range modes. This family model will acquire image over a wide range of dosage, while providing maximum access to the patient, with a minimum possible border on the active imaging area.

Page 32: Modes Of Operation
Modes of Operation The PaxScan 2530W supports two modes of operation as defined in Table 2-0. In general, there is a tradeoff between varying operation modes of resolution, or field of view, or cycle time, or noise. The sensitivity of the imager is optimized to match the X-ray dose used in each mode.
Page 33: Default Mode
The Virtual Command Processor software supports multiple connections to two or more receptors of the same type; however, ViVA controls one receptor at a time. The receptor selection is changed from the  Acquisition drop down menu. This feature is typically useful in a testing environment. © Varian Medical Systems | X-Ray Products...
Page 34 Select Open link Receptor under the Acquisition drop down menu bar to establish connection to the PaxScan imaging system. For multiple receptors, completion of the single receptor setup is required before additional receptors are available for setup in the serial # drop down. © Varian Medical Systems | X-Ray Products...

Ensure required receptor appears in the Mode drop down. The 2530W currently supports Rad or Auto Trigger 1x1 4pf. Click Offset Calibration button or select from the menu bar under Acquisition. © Varian Medical Systems | X-Ray Products...
Page 36: Gain Calibration
To reduce the effects of noise, the average of each pixel in the flat field image is calculated by accumulating a number of frames into an internal memory buffer, then dividing the sum of each pixel by the number of frames acquired. © Varian Medical Systems | X-Ray Products...
Page 37 However, the actual number of calibration frames used must be determined solely by the system integrator depending upon their specific performance requirements. Gain calibration requires the production of X-rays and therefore Important: certain precautions must be taken by the human operator. © Varian Medical Systems | X-Ray Products...
Page 38: Connect To The Panel As Access Point
Detailed instructions on performing gain calibrations are covered in the ViVA Online help documentation. Table3-0 Gain Calibration - All Modes Step Action Results To ensure proper warm up, the PaxScan 2530W Receptor Warm Up must be operational for a least two (2) hours prior to Gain calibration. Offset Calibration Software performs a new Offset calibration referred to as dark field acquisition.

Page 67: Interfacing Information
Appendix A Interfacing Information All the interfacing connections for the PaxScan 2530W are at the panel itself and the Varian I/O box. The Gigabit Ethernet connection carries control information to the panel and supplies image data with diagnostic information to the customer supplied workstation. The Hardware Synchronization connection is a 9-pin D-sub type.
Page 68 If the Varian I/O box is used the synchronization interface to the panel consists of two inputs and one output, all isolated through opto-couplers. The expected inputs to the panel are Prepare and Exposure_Request. The output from the panel is Expose_OK, which can be used to trigger the generator. This active low signal is used to identify when the panel is ready for exposure.
Page 69 The typical timing of the synchronization interface is shown below. The panel is maintained in an idle state, until the asynchronous Expose_Request is received. When the panel receives the Expose_Request, the assumption is that the generator is ready to make an exposure when Expose_OK is issued.

Page 76: Battery Charger
The Varian 1 bay and 3-bay charger is intended for use with the Varian Battery. The Varian charger will fully charge a Varian battery in maximum 3 hours when operating at room temperature. The charger is used with the PaxScan wireless radiographic digital image receptors.
Page 77 Charging a fully discharged battery will take 3.5 hours maximum and 2.5 hours typical when operating at room temperature. Up to three batteries can be charged at a time in the Varian 3- bay battery charger.
Page 78 2. The output of the charger is 16.8V DC, 1.4A max (+/1 1% and 10 Hz).. Step Action / Results The Varian battery communicates with the Varian 1-bay charger when it is plugged into the charger. The battery monitors its readiness state and is mechanically keyed to charger for easy installation.
