Calibrating the AEC
5. Click the Enable Capture button, then make the indicated exposure.
6. Enter the dosimeter reading in the appropriate units.
Note that the scale of the units to be entered changes from mR to R if the R/mR
units are selected, but remains in mGy if Gy/mGy units are selected.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the second and third ESE exposures.
After the third exposure, the average of the three dosimeter values entered is
displayed. Also, the suggested mAs value to be used for goal table generation.
is displayed.
NOTE: In most cases, the suggested mAs will not exactly match an mAs value to which the Generator
can be set. In this case, it is recommended that you use the closest lower mAs setting so that the
desired AGD will not be exceeded during future AEC exposures.
