Adjustments / Programming
•
Calculate the maximum tube current
Tube current displayed in mA at 125 kV * 9 (R/min)
Dose rate value, measured in R/min
•
Multiply the tube current to be programmed by 10, since this must be entered into the
service PC in 1/10 mA steps. Round off the value to the nearest whole number.
Example:
4.4 (mA) * 9 (R/min)
11.2 (R/min)

Programming

•
Connect the service PC to the serial interface of the ARCOSKOP.
•
Select the "Adjustment, Parameters..." menu.
•
Select "Limitation of skin dose rate (FL)" in the "Parameter Groups" combo box.
•
Click on "Get from unit".
•
Enter the value to be programmed in "Value".
•
Click on "Set Value".
•
Select "Put to unit". Follow the menu guidance on the service PC.
•
Select "Save to file".
•
The value to be programmed has been transferred to the ARCOSKOP and temporarily
saved to disk.
NOTE

Checking

•
After programming, check the maximum skin dose rate again.

Tube current displayed at 125 kV:
Maximum skin dose rate:
Measured dose rate value:
In 1/10 mA: 35.3, rounded off to the nearest whole
= 3.53 (mA)
number: 35
The value to be programmed is 35
You must exit the service program with "Logoff" and "Quit".
Only then will the modified parameters be stored on the disk as a
new file!
