Checking the Dose Rate
Select the I.I. full field of view and open the collimator to the size of the measurement
chamber.
Confirm the message "Select II maximum ... " with OK.
Click Fluoroscopy on.
Change the mA value so that the dose rate desired appears on the dosimeter.
Dose rate values to be set:
Multiline without grid:
Multiline with grid:
Note the factor for the chamber. If you are using the Dali -/ Nomex chamber for the mea-
surement, the dose rate value must be increased by 6%.
Exit the dose rate adjustment field with OK after the dose rate has been reached.
Enter "300 mV" in the B-Signal Value field.
Click OK.
Wait for the data to be transferred to the generator (may take some time).
Click "Fluoroscopy on" in the CCD Brightness Adjust field if the value 0 + 1 is not
reached: Record the nominal-actual values with the algebraic sign. Exit the XCS soft-
ware.
In case of deviations:
- Connect the service-PC to the Multiline.
- Call up "Parameter" in the Adjustment menu.
- Click "Get from Unit."
- Select Parameter: "am 7 TV-Iris" in the parameter groups.
- Select Parameter "FLUORO Zoom 0".
- Reduce or increase the TV iris value (nominal/actual) in the Value Actual field.
If the TV iris value is negative (nominal/actual), it should be reduced.
For example, a value of "- 5" means that the nominal/actual value recorded earlier must
be reduced by a factor of - 5 x 10, i.e. by - 50.
- Click Set Value after the change.
The changed value is marked in the parameter window
(i.e. the value is not yet transferred to the unit).
- Click Put to Unit.
The message "Component... to continue" is displayed.
- Click OK after the automatic Reset.
- Switch off the system for a complete reset.
- Switch on the system.
- Record the dose rate again.
