13.1.1 Post-Offset Used for Correcting Exposed Frame For radiographic detectors like the 2530C-G5, offset correction is performed using a post-offset frame captured after the acquisition with X-ray (the post-offset is automatically generated directly after the exposed frame). Therefore, constant offset calibration is not needed for standard radiographic acquisition.
2530C-G5 X-ray Detector 13.1.2 Offset Calibration Offset calibration creates an offline offset map used for offset correction. The offline offset map is used to correct a preview frame. Configuring the acquisition to deliver a preview frame using the API is done when setting corrections prior the acquisition.
X-ray Detector Calibration and Corrections requirements under all modes of operation. Dose requirements are determined by the settings of the generator X-ray source. Varex recommends accumulating 32 frames for gain calibration for optimal Note image quality. When a gain calibration is performed, the pixel defect map is automatically Note updated.
2530C-G5 X-ray Detector Once Offset and Gain calibration are complete with the selected mode, the X- Note ray detector is ready to acquire images. 13.4 Defects Correction Some pixels in the detector may be defective or less linear than the neighbors. It is possible to mask these pixels by applying the defect map correction to the acquired image.
Acquiring Radiographic Images 14 Acquiring Radiographic Images Radiographic acquisition is controlled by software. Each acquisition results in multiple frames (exposed and post-offset, or a single corrected frame). Exposure is initiated by sending the Start command followed by a Trigger command. When the trigger command is sent, it starts integration. The integration time is defined in the detector configuration file and may be different for each mode.
2530C-G5 X-ray Detector 14.1 Image Acquisition with ViVAPro Click on the Acquisition Settings button to apply settings for the acquisition. Once all settings have been configured, click on the Acquire button to start acquiring images. Note See the ViVAPro User Manual for the various configuration settings.
Troubleshooting functions. Upon receiving PREP signal, the workstation software should call the vsp2_rad_acquisition_start API function; upon receiving REQ signal, the workstation software should call the vsp2_rad_acquisition_trigger API function. When VSP2_RAD_EXPOSE_WINDOW_START event is received, the workstation software should initiate the EXP_OK signal and when VSP2_RAD_EXPOSE_WINDOW_END event is received, the workstation software should terminate the EXP_OK signal.

2530C-G5 X-ray Detector 17 Maintenance In principle, the X-ray detector assembly is maintenance-free. However, it is important to refresh the detector corrections as needed (see Section 17.1 Cleaning and Disinfecting The X-ray detector may become contaminated during use. The specific materials most likely to become contaminated are the X-ray grade carbon fiber input window and the housing.
Maintenance Disinfecting chemicals are: • CAVI-Wipes • Sodium Hypochlorite (Chlorine Bleach) 17.2.1 Cleaning the X-ray Detector To clean the X-ray detector: 1. Remove the tether cable from the X-ray detector. 2. Use appropriate personal protective equipment as discussed in the chemical’s instructions.
2530C-G5 X-ray Detector If you are using a disinfectant other than those specified or the chemical doesn't Note contain disinfectant instructions on the labeling, we recommend you consult a specialist for the procedure to disinfect. Repeated exposure to alcohol-based chemicals can result in cosmetic Note discoloration of the detector.
