Data and technique inputs are made via the keyboard while the screen displays all exposure options and selections for the selected exposure mocle (Manual, Auto-Time, Auto-kV, or Auto-Filler). Data fields on the screen list palient information (name, identification number, gender, etc), exam data (view, CPT code), and technologist identification data, In addition to the current date and time, status lines inform the user about items like the printer, AutoFilm ID, compression, and image receptor. The display screen provides illumination for the keyboard and is manually adjustable, forward and back. See Figure 1-1 10 identify the Operator Console components. Legend for Figure 1-1 1.

Table 3-15: Master Density Adjustment 8.2 AEC Calibration, 100 mA Qs rn Read this entre section prior to performing the procedures. Select and enter the AEC Curve. Take the first Master Density shot and measure the OD. Divide that OD by the target OD (1.70) to find out how far off itis (in percent) and change the Master Density value by that percent value. Retake the shot; adjust and retake as needed. Select 25 kV and take the DEN shot, Determine the percent difference between the DEN OD and the target OD and change the DEN setting accordingly. Take the Low, Mid, and High (Gain, DEN, Offset) exposures and measure the ‘OD values. They should be close together, but possibly one or two may not ‘meet the specification. Determine how far to adjust the DEN value to get all three of the OD values to be within the desired range. If one is 0.10 higher than the other two, adjust the DEN so that the high one 's near the top of the allowed range and the other two are near the bottom. ‘Once that adjustment is complete, retake the Low, Mid, and High (Gain, DEN, Offset) shots. They should now all be within range. Try to avoid adjusting the gain of offset by more than two counts. ‘When taking the ‘inal’ three shots for a given KV, you can also take the DEN shot for the NEXT kV. ‘Once that KV is done, repeat for the next kV. If you write down the Gain, DEN, and Offset values for each kV in Table 3-17 on p, 3-39 as you work, you can sometimes ‘pre-set’ the next DEN value so that you‘e already in range when you take your first DEN shot. For example, you can use the DEN for one kV as the starting point for the next kV. RHODIUM: This is not as true for Large as itis for Small, but once you're done with Moly, take the DEN values for 28 to 35 KV from Moly and, as a starting point, enter them as the new DEN values for Rhodium. 336 P/NMAN00341 ~ Service Manual Chapter 3—Systern Setup S ‘AEC Calibration SERIES System Setup for Calibrations ‘On the Operator Console, select the film type to calibrate. 2.
