5 CONFIGURATION CHECK INFORMATION
Note:
It is not normally necessary to set the configuration parameters listed here. They are set to their
correct values in the factory, or by the link from the AWS. They are given here for convenience in
the event that you suspect that they have been changed, perhaps during troubleshooting.
5-1 Set Date and Time
• The Generator clock updates automatically via the AWS each time the Senographe subsystem is
powered up (either alone or when the complete system is powered up). It is not normally necessary
to change it manually.
Note:
After a Generator CLEAR operation, the current date and the date of the last installation mode ac-
cess are both set to the Generator software release date; the time is set to 0:00:00. The current
date and time are updated at the next power up.
• The clock is used for the following functions:
- Thermal protection cooling algorithms, whether the Generator is turned on.
- Recording dates and times in the error log.
- Recording the date of last access to installation mode.
• If it is necessary to change the date or time on the Gantry manually, note the following points:
- Dates (menu path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/DAY) are entered in the form
DD/MM/YY; e.g., for February 14th, 2003, you must enter 14/02/03.
- Time (menu path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/HOUR) is entered in 24-hour format;
e.g., for 3:13:27 pm you must enter 15:13:27.
• Perform a checksum (SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/CKSUM/CKSUM) and return to the Application mode.
5-2 Check X-ray Tube Type
1. Select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/CONFIG/TUBE.
Check that the X-ray Console display shows the correct tube type: 2foc/2met/1ang (dual focus, bi-
metal, single anode angle, or slope; This corresponds to tube type Maxiray TH100-M1).
2. Select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/CONFIG/TUBE/MODEL and choose MAXRAY
TH100-M1.
If the configuration on step 1 is not correct, proceed with steps 3 and 4 below.
3. If necessary, set the correct X-ray tube type:
Select FOCUS/DUAL on the X-ray Console.
Select SETUP/ANODE/DM on the X-ray Console.
4. Press SETUP; check that the X-ray Console display now shows the correct tube type (above).
• Perform a checksum (SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/CKSUM/CKSUM) and return to the Application mode.
