Tracking The Radiographic Table - AGFA DR 600 User Manual

Tracking the radiographic table

The position tracking button on the main screen of the tube head display
indicates if tracking can be performed.
Table 26: Tracking status
Tracking synchronizes the movement of two components:
• Adjusting the table height drives the X-ray tube height. The SID is kept
constant.
• Adjusting the position of the table bucky drives the X-ray tube longitudinal
position.
• Adjusting the longitudinal position of the X-ray tube drives the position of
the table bucky.
• Adjusting the alpha rotation of the tube head unit drives the position of
the table bucky.
To enable tracking:
1. On the tube head display, press the position tracking button.
Table 27: Tracking status
2. Adjust the table height, the position of the table bucky, the longitudinal
position of the X-ray tube or the alpha rotation of the tube head unit.
The corresponding component (X-ray tube or table bucky) is moving
accordingly.
