System Performance Measurements

1. Warm up the generator with 10 exposures of 80KV and 5mAs.
2. Take measurements at 300mA, 10mAs, 40", Tabletop from 60 to 120KV.
3. Record mR and KV measured in the table below.
4. Verify that the KV is within the control limits on the graph at right.
5. Note the generator performance relative to Standard Frequency and High Frequency systems.

Measurement of Grid Tray Attenuation

1. Set the system up for a 40" Grid Tray exposure at 10mAs
2. Place the Unfors probe in the center of the bucky, under the table and grid.
3. Take exposures at 60, 80, 100, and 120KV. Record here.
4. The attenuation of the table and grid tray will be calculated and used for gridded exposures.

mAs vs. mR Measurements

1. Warm up the tube with 5 exposures at 80 KV, 5mAs
2. Set the generator for each of the mAs stations present in the technique chart and record the resulting mR values below.
(These measuments should be made on the tabletop, 40" SID)
3. All mAs stations on the Technique Chart should be included in this test. Adjust or add any additional stations as required.

Tabletop Technique Values

1. Using the Required mAs, insert the closest or higher Generator mAs values to the table below. (mAs to Set column)
2. View each graph below the table. Adjust the mAs and KV so the purple line follows the blue one.
3. Holding mAs to higher values and using lower KV will produce smoother plots.
4. Insert the correct mA values for the required mAs. Note large or small filament as needed.
5. The values in the green columns will be transferred to the technique chart.
