Note that, if you know the correct HVL value, derived by running the Determine
HVL procedure previously, you can skip that procedure and go right to the
Determine ESE procedure. Likewise, if you know the valid mAs to use during the
"goal image" exposures, you can skip the Determine ESE procedure and go right to
the Generate Goal procedure.
Before starting the AEC Calibration Tool:
•
You must be logged in to the FFDM-S Acquisition Workstation operating
system as apps.
•
The FFDM-S Acquisition Workstation application must not be running.
If the application is running, kill it using the task manager.
If you are logging in as apps, then immediately upon the desktop being
displayed, double-click the console window icon and press the Ctrl+C keys. You
must do this within 5 seconds to prevent the FFDM-S Acquisition Workstation
application from starting.
To start the AEC Calibration Tool, in a terminal window, enter the command
AecCalTool.
You should see progress information in the terminal window. Eventually, the AEC
Calibration Tool main window will open. The main window will finish displaying
when the DRAPI initialization is complete.
