Digital Remote Controlled Table with dynamic flat panel detector
 You can adjust the Fulcrum and incrementation if needed.
 Choose a tomography speed and angle. Once selected, the tomography time is displayed.
Make sure that it is the same as the one mentioned in the tomography protocol that you
selected on the Acquisition console LCD screen. If not, you can change the combination by
pressing another speed or angle. The slow speed / 40° angle (4seconds exposure) is not
possible.
 Press the Exposure Preparation (1st trigger) button, the column angulation will move to the
starting position of the tomography.
If needed, you can release the Preparation button and use the carriage movement to center
the Xrays on the region of interest, using the light of the collimator
 To start the exposure, make sure that the sensor is READY, then press the Exposure
Preparation (1st trigger) button, then the Xray Emission (2nd trigger) button.
The column will rotate and Xrays will be made.
You MUST keep both buttons pressed during the whole movement. If you release one of
them, the table will exit the tomography mode.
Once the column rotation is finished, you can release the Preparation and Emission buttons.
If the message "Tomography not possible, move carriage" appears, it means that the
carriage/sensor holder is too close to the head side of the table to allow the tomography
movement. In this case, release the Preparation button, press "OK", move the carriage to the
feet side of the table, and try again by pressing the Preparation button.
 If there are additional tomography protocols in the list and you want to make other tomography
exposures, you can press the Preparation button to make the column rotate to its initial
position. You MUST keep that button pressed during the whole movement.
You can release the Preparation button after the movement is finished.
Once the column is back to its original position, if there was an increment other than 0
displayed on the table console screen, the new fulcrum height is indicated. You can still modify
it directly. You can not modify the speed and angle of the tomography.
 Make sure the sensor is in ready state. Press the Exposure Preparation (1st trigger) button,
then the Xray Emission (2nd trigger) button. A new tomography exposure will be made.

You can repeat this until you have made the necessary tomography exposures, or there are
no longer tomography protocols in the list, or the fulcrum height has reached 0mm or 300mm.
