Two-State Inputs
Document #726-602-G1 3 - 25
Signal Definitions: The signals between the x-ray generator and Imaging system are defined
as follows:
Signal Description
Fluoro On This signal is active when fluoro radiation is ON. It causes the system to
display the live fluoro image on the image monitor in “Fluoro” mode. When
inactive, the system will maintain the last full frame of fluoro on the image
monitor. This signal is overridden when the Prepare for photospot signal is
active.
P Fluoro ON (Pulsed Fluoro ON) This signal indicates to the system that the generator
is currently generating an x-ray pulse. It is used to synchronize the
acquisition of images with the x-ray exposure.
Prep Rad Exp This signal is active when the operator is preparing for Radiographic
Exposure. It signals when the generator is switching from “Fluoro” to
“Radiographic” mode. This signal is used for both cine and spot
acquisition.
Req Rad Exp This signal is active when the operator has requested a Radiographic
exposure and is used for both cine and spot acquisition.
Rad Exp On This signal indicates to the system that the generator is producing
radiographic radiation for photospot imaging. It is considered an optional
signal. However, the signal line must be installed when the Spot in/Out
relay open condition does not terminate an exposure. Additionally, this
line must be installed for Tomography procedures.
NOTE: Failure to install the RAD EXPOSE ON line will limit the usable
radiographic exposure time to 200 milliseconds.
