1-1 General
See Illustration 1–1. The AMX–4 Series (henceforth, in this publication, called AMX–4) is
identified on the rating plate located on the top cover by Model Numbers 46–270157Gx,
46–315161Gx, 46–329267Gx, 2115090–x, 2169360–x, 2236420–x and any other model
number associated with the AMX–4 Series mobile x–ray equipment.
This book is not intended to be read from cover to cover like a novel. It is intended to intro-
duce you to the AMX–4 Diagnostics Service Tools and provide reference material to help
you isolate problems.
You should be familiar with the operation and capabilities of Diagnostics before you need
them. This book can help you with the process. Read Section 1 Introduction. It provides a
brief overview of the diagnostics. Read Section 3-5 Loop Test or Section 4-5 Loop Test, as
appropriate for the PROMS in this unit, and Section 9 Data Base Access. You will learn how
to operate AMX–4 Diagnostics and gain some insight into it’s capabilities by performing
the Demonstration Procedures.
You will need to change values between decimal, hexadecimal, and binary equivalents
when using diagnostics. Many pocket calculators have functions to perform the conver-
sions for you. However, a calculator is not always available when needed. Appendix 1 will
help with conversions up to 16 bits or 4 hexadecimal characters when you are unable to use
your calculator.

3-1 System Block Test
System Block Test checks the digital to analog and analog to digital converters. It also
checks the tap selection circuitry.To check the D/A and A/D converters, DAC U332 on CPU
46–232828 or U355 on CPU 46–264974 is set up so that it will send a ?<!)3.+S signal to
the Filament and kVp Control Board. The signal is received by the Filament and kVp Con-
trol Board at J2 pins 11 and 12, schematic location 2–D1. The signal leaves this board unal-
tered as ?<!)3.+)T5?S at J2 pins 13 and 14, schematic location 2–E4, and returns to the
CPU Board on connector J5 pins 13 and 14, schematic location 5–E1. Analog buffer AR398
on CPU 46–232828 or AR392 on CPU 46–264974 conditions the signal for multiplexer
U406 on CPU 46–232828 or U342 on CPU 46–264974. The signal is ultimately read by the
processor and compared with the output signal. If they agree the test passes.

Taps are checked by individuals selecting &'!UV through &'!WV signals at the Generator
Control 2 Port, schematic location 4–B9 on CPU board. The six tap signals go to six identi-
cal circuits on the 1kHz Driver Board, schematic sheet 2. On the 1kHz Driver Board these
signals are converted to 110 volt coil driving signals and tap feed back logic signals. &'!U
T35? through &'!W) T35? return to the CPU board Generator and AEC Status port,
schematic location 3–E7. Tap select and feedback signals are compared. If they agree the
test passes.
By examining the tap feedback circuit, you can see that a shorted coil will produce a feed-
back signal. Keep this in mind when running System Block Test. You should hear six (see
note) equally spaced clicks of the relays being selected when the tap test is running. If you
don’t, and the test passes, check the relays.
Note that with this firmware, &'!6V is not tested.

Loop Test can be used to check circuits that are not tested by other portions of diagnostics.
Command signals may be set, and feedback checked to see if circuits are functioning. You
may use Loop Test for signal tracing by setting selected signals to a known state. When a
potential fault is discovered, Loop Test may be used to set the signal high and low to verify
the fault.
Exit Diagnostics and turn the AMX OFF when you finish using Loop Test. This resets the
system and makes sure the CPU Port Latches are properly set for other tests. (Setting the
Service Switch up and down will also reset the latches.)

You will activate tap relays by writing to the Generator Control 2 Port located at 1000 Hex.
By reading the Generator and AEC Status Port at 1600 Hex you will see that the relays are
active. Refer to Section 5-8 Generator Control 2 and Section 5-7 Generator and AEC Status
for signal identification. These two ports are used by Block Test when it checks the tap re-

4-1 System Block Test
System Block Test checks the digital to analog and analog to digital converters. It also
checks the tap selection circuitry.To check the D/A and A/D converters, DAC U355 on
CPU 46–264974, is set up so that it will send a ?<!)3.+S signal to the Filament and kVp
Control Board. The signal is received by the Filament and kVp Control Board at J2 pins 11
and 12, schematic location 2–D1. The signal leaves this board unaltered as ?<!)3.+
T5?S at J2 pins 13 and 14, schematic location 2–E4, and returns to the CPU Board on
connector J5 pins 13 and 14, schematic location 5–E1. Analog buffer AR392 on CPU
46–264974 conditions the signal for multiplex U342 on CPU 46–264974. The signal is ulti-
mately read by the processor and compared with the output signal. If they agree the test
passes.

Taps are checked by individuals selecting &'!UV through &'!6V signals at the Generator
Control 2 Port, schematic location 4–B9. The six tap signals go to six identical circuits on
the 1kHz Driver Board, schematic sheet 2. On the 1kHz Driver Board these signals are con-
verted to 110 volt coil driving signals and tap feed back logic signals. &'!U)T35? through
&'!6)T35? return to the CPU board Generator and AEC Status port, schematic location
3–E7. Tap select and feedback signals are compared. If they agree the test passes.
By examining the tap feedback circuit, you can see that a shorted coil or stuck contacts will
produce a feedback signal. Keep this in mind when running System Block Test. You should
hear seven equally spaced clicks of the relays being selected when the tap test is running. If
you don’t, and the test passes, check the relays.

Loop Test can be used to check circuits that are not tested by other portions of diagnostics.
Command signals may be set, and feedback checked to see if circuits are functioning. You
may use Loop Test for signal tracing by setting selected signals to a known state. When a
potential fault is discovered, Loop Test may be used to set the signal high and low to verify
the fault.
Exit Diagnostics and turn the AMX OFF when you finish using Loop Test. This resets the
system and makes sure the CPU Port Latches are properly set for other tests. (Setting the
Service Switch up, and then down will also reset the latches.)

7-1 Introduction
To enter the Diagnostics Program, refer to Section 2 Entering Diagnostics.
Error Log maintains an error occurrence history which can be helpful when diagnosing
problems. Calibration errors, and errors encountered when entering Diagnostics are not re-
corded. As shown on Illustration 7–1 there are two Error Log functions:
*( %""#"),$2& 1B&):4=&4)!0)FB!?B)&44:45):??S44&=(
8( =$2&#*"'.2 1B&)0S;'&4):L)1!;&5)20)&44:4):??S44&=(
Both the Error List and Histograms can be initialized, setting all data to zero, to establish a
starting point from which errors can be monitored.
Initializing the Error List empties the error buffer. This provides a starting point from which
errors may be tracked. Initializing the error list at installation, just before turning the unit
over, provides a clean buffer from which operating errors can be followed.

7-2-1 View Error List
Error List tells you the order in which errors have occurred. It has room for 256 errors. The
first error to display when viewing the error list is the first error which occurred. This is the
oldest error listed. The most recent error is at the end of the list. Each time an error occurs it
is logged at the end of the error list. If an error occurs 20 times in secession, it’s code will
occupy 20 consecutive spaces. This appears as if there is no response to stepping up or down
through the list. You must count the number of steps to determine the number of occur-
rences.

Histogram tells you the number of times an error occurred. It is arranged in error code order.
Each time an error occurs it is logged in the Histogram. If an error has not occurred, the error
code will not display. Histogram displays the hexadecimal error code number above kVp
and the number of occurrences as a decimal number above mAs.

7-4 Initialize Histograms
Initializing Histograms empties it’s buffer. This provides a starting point from which you
may track errors. Initializing Histograms at installation, just before turning the unit over,
provides a clean buffer from which operating errors can be followed.

To enter the Diagnostics Program, refer to Section 2 Entering Diagnostics.
Charger provides a means by which the batteries may be charged when the AMX is not
completely calibrated. The Voltmeter and Charger MUST be calibrated before this proce-
dure is used. Other calibration procedures may be delayed until batteries are charged.
Charging by this method is identical to charging in the Applications Mode.

9-1 Introduction
Data Base Access provides direct access to the calibration and configuration data base.
Data may be checked to see that it is within specified values, and it may be altered to opti-
mize operation.
Always record the address and data before making changes so you can return to where you
started. Always test your changes to make sure they are correct.
Be very careful when altering data. It is possible to enter data that will make the AMX–4
operate improperly, causing damage to the unit, injuring a patient, or when attempting to
drive the unit, injuring the operator and pedestrians.

After entering Data Base Access, a hexadecimal address and data value displays on the kVp
and mAs display as shown on Illustration 9–3. Data values display as either a two digit or a
four digit hexadecimal number. Data Base address locations are sequential hexadecimal
numbers. Section 10 Data Base for AMX–4 Units with: PROMS

9-4 Selecting Data Base Address

See Illustration 9–3. Pressing O<P)# increases the address location and pressing O<P)$
decreases the address location. You may scroll the address by pressing and holding the
switch, or change one location at a time by pressing and releasing the switch.
When you reach the address location of the data you wish to change, press M'KN$. The
address display turns off leaving only data on the kVp and mAs display. To exit the address
location without changing data, press M'KN#.
9-5 Changing Data Base Values

Data is changed starting with the left, or most significant, hexadecimal character and mov-
ing right to the least significant character. Change data by using O<P)# and O<P)$ to
select the proper hexadecimal value, then press M'KN$ to enter the value and move to the
next character. (On units with Proms 46–303815G1/46–303816G1 and later on Board CPU
46–264974, the selected digit will flash.)
Data displayed on the mAs and kVp display is entered into the data base either when
M'KN# is pressed to exit the address, or when M'KN$ is pressed to enter the last value.
The address and new data appears on the kVp and mAs display after entering data.
9-6 Check Sum and Limit Errors
You can always read Data Base Access. However, you can write only to areas containing a
valid check sum. The area where the check sum error occurred must be re–calibrated before
access is allowed. Why? A new check sum must be calculated every time data changes. If
you change the wrong value you could damage the AMX–4, or leave it in a non–compliant
condition.
A Limit Error occurs when a value is entered that is above or below preset limits. A limit
error prompt occurs after out of range data is entered. What happens? The data you entered
is compared with it’s upper and lower limits. If it is outside of the limit, the original value is
placed in the data base instead of the value you entered.
During this demonstration you will learn to operate Data Base Access. You will also see the
relationship between Calibration and Configuration Data Base. First, you will enter out of
range data to see the response to a limit error. Then you will use Data Base Access to change
data and test the change. Finally, you will change data using Calibration, test the change and
verify the change using Data Base Access.
Let’s look at an example of Data Base Access. Field light on time is used for this demonstra-
tion because it presents the fewest problems if things go wrong. If a problem should arise as
you try this example, simply enter calibration and reset the field light on time.

9-7-8 On Your Own
You have used Data Base Access to change a calibration value. Then you tested the change
and you saw the result of entering out of range data. Table 9–1 contains some Field Light
On–Times in seconds and the Data Base hexadecimal values. Enter some of these values to
see that valid data is accepted. Test your changes to see that values from 5 seconds, 05 Hex,
to 45 seconds, 2D Hex, are accepted. You may enter a value that is less than 5 seconds to see
that it produces the same results that too long a time produced.
By now you can see that as long as the Data Base Value is within it’s minimum and maxi-
mum range, the program will accept it. You have seen that you can do no damage with Field
Light On–Time. With other parts of the data base this is not the case. Improper values can
destroy the batteries or X–Ray Tube and most every thing in between. Don’t be afraid of
using Data Base Access. But when you use it, use it carefully.
9-7-9 Return The Original Value
Enter the original hexadecimal value that you wrote in the margin in Section 9-7-2, Change
Field Light On–Time. Test the unit to make sure it is operating properly before leaving.
9-8 Floor Scuffing
Some units leave marks on the floor when accelerating. Reducing the Acceleration Factor
reduces this problem. Refer to '^ÂFALED@HC)TE^DHL$(address 01 6A) in Table 10–6, Drive
Parameters, or Table 11–5, Drive Parameters (whichever is appropriate for PROMS in this
unit), and experiment with the value until the scuffing is reduced. After the data change, be
sure to recalibrate the drive handle.

SECTION 13
THEORY
13-1 Power–up Diagnostics
The power–up diagnostic firmware is responsible for verifying the integrity of the follow-
ing major functions/components:
" The 80C31 microcontroller.

" The program code EPROM checksum.
" The non–volatile RAM battery.
" The RAM external to the microcontroller.
" The calibration data checksum.
" The watchdog timer.
" The programmable timers external to the microcontroller.
" The A/D converter circuitry and power supplies.
13-2 Visual Indication Of Testing
As the power up tests are executing, message display indicates the various test numbers. It
takes the following form:
VA@V)P)##)777777
where xx is the test number from 01 – 07 and yyyyyy is !'22%3 if the test passed or
T'$,%3 if it did not.
There are 8 Light Emitting Diodes on the CPU board which light to indicate which test is
being executed. Upon power–up or reset, all LED’s are lit. Once the tests begin to execute,
the lit LED’s represent the binary code of the test being executed. Note that test 0, the CPU
test, is not indicated on the alpha display, but is represented on the LED ’s when all are
turned off. The prompt &%2&$+*)-#.!,%&% displays upon completion of the testing if
a fatal power–up fault was not detected.
13-3 Power Up Tests
Testing is done in a confidence building manner. If a test fails, a failure indication is given.
If the failure is fatal, program execution stops. If the test is non–fatal, testing continues after
a brief delay while the failure prompt is given. If a test passes, the next power–up test is
executed. This sequencing continues until a fatal fault occurs or all the tests of been suc-
cessfully executed. Control is passed to the Application Code, Calibration Code, or Diag-
nostics.
When the intended operating mode is the application code, non–fatal faults are those faults
which do not directly effect the drives. Should a non –fatal fault be detected, x–ray and
charging will be inhibited and the message 3"$<%2)#+,( displays when the application
mode is entered. This provision is incorporated to allow the unit to be moved to a conven-
ient area for servicing if the drive circuits appear to be functional. In order to access diag-
nostics, the service switch must be set before the &%2&$+*)-#.!,%&% message fin-
ishes displaying. Functional descriptions for each of the power–up tests are given in the
following paragraphs.

13-4 80C31 Microcontroller Tests (test – 00)
Testing the 80C31 Microcontroller involves verifying the functionality of each of the fol-
lowing:
" CPU registers and timers

" data transfers
" arithmetic operations
" logical operations
" boolean variable manipulations
" program branching
This test is FATAL regardless of firmware set or intended operating mode.
13-5 EPROM Checksum Test (test – 01)
The sum for the first 65535 bytes of program code is calculated and checked to make sure it
is equal to the 65536th byte. This test is FATAL regardless of firmware set or intended oper-
ating mode.
13-6 Ram Battery Test (test – 02)
This test checks the integrity of the non–volatile ram battery. If the ram battery is below 2.0
volts, the first write to ram after power up will not be executed. This fact is used to deter-
mine the state of the battery.

13-7 External Ram Test (test – 03)
The external ram test is non–destructive and involves writing and reading the patterns 00,
FF, AA and 55 for each RAM location. In addition, a destructive addressing test is done on
the RAM locations not allocated to the non–volatile database. This test is FATAL regardless
of firmware set or intended operating mode.
13-8 Calibration Data Checksum Test (test – 04)
The checksum for the calibration data is calculated and checked to make sure it is equal to
the checksum value stored in non–volatile memory. This test is non–fatal if the calibration
or extended diagnostics modes are to be accessed. It is non–fatal for the application mode
only if the handle calibration data checksums are ok.

13-8-1 Checksum By–pass
On occasions, troubleshooting errors that occur during calibration can be more efficient if
done in the applications mode. However, unless the unit is totally calibrated it will not allow
normal applications operation. This is where the checksum by–pass is useful. The follow-
ing diagram illustrates how this is done:

13-9 Watchdog Timer Test (test – 05)
The watchdog timer is checked to make sure that when strobed, its output goes high within
100 us, stays high for at least 30 ms and goes low within 75 ms. This test is non–fatal for any
intended operating mode.
13-10 Programmable Interval Timer Test

(test – 06)
This test checks the functionality of the 82C54 timers 0 and 2, including the ability to count
and to provide the proper strobe on their outputs. This test is non–fatal for any intended
operating mode.
13-11 A/D Converter Circuitry Test

(test – 07)
This test checks the functionality of the A/D converter, the sample and hold and the analog
multiplexer. In addition, the integrity of the processor +5V supply is verified in this test.
This test is non–fatal if the calibration or extended diagnostics modes are to be accessed. It
is fatal for the application mode (!15V and +24V also tested if dip switch #3 is enabled on
CPU Board 46–264974, starting with firmware 46–302688G1/46–302687G1).

13-13-3 Charge Control Algorithm

for PROMS 46–329187G1/46–329188G1 or 46–329187G2/46–329188G2
Charging can be entered from the application mode by plugging in the line cord. The
AMX4 charger can be classified as a pseudo constant voltage charger. This is because the
charger hardware is actually designed for constant current charging but the firmware strives
to maintain a constant voltage by adjusting the charger current output. Illustrations 13–5
through 13–8 show various aspects of actual charge profiles. Profiles will vary with state–
of–charge, battery condition, etc.
Illustrations 13–5 through 13–8 show only a small sample of the possible charge scenarios.
The intent here is to present the most significant elements of the charging algorithm and
how the various charge control DATA BASE parameters would effect charge performance.
Even though the details of Illustrations 13–5 through 13–8 apply specifically to PROMS
46–329187G1/46–329188G1 or 46–329187G2/46–329188G2, the concepts presented are
valid for all PROM versions.
A charge cycle can be either a non–extended (top–off) or an extended cycle. Most cycles
will be of the non–extended type as seen in Illustration 13–5. However, every n+1 times that
charge is initiated, the AMX4 charger will automatically attempt an extended charge as
shown in Illustration 13–7. (n = the value of the DATA BASE parameter “Trickle Limit”).
An extended charge is considered valid once 1/2 of the extended time has elapsed. If this
condition is not met because the charger is unplugged, the system will continue to initiate
extended charges.

Illustration 13–5 shows a typical non–extended charge profile. About 50% of the usable
capacity of the batteries was removed prior to charge. The graph plots battery voltage vs.
charge current. Charge current is represented two ways: by the voltage across the charging
resistor, and by the voltage out of the charge current demand DAC. Actual current can be
calculated by dividing the voltage across AMX1A3R1 by 2.5". The various charge time
frames are as follows:
TIME FRAME “A”: This is the charge start–up period. The charge current is increased to
the maximum allowable level for the present set of conditions (battery
state–of–charge, line voltage, etc.). See Illustration 13–6 for an expansion of this time
frame.
TIME FRAME “B”: This is the current limited period. The level that the charge current is
limited to is determined by the DATA BASE parameter “Maximum Charging mA”. The
charger will remain at this level until the battery voltage starts to approach the clamp volt-
age. NOTE: This time frame will be by–passed for charge cycles which are initiated when
the batteries are nearly fully charged.

!"#$%% &'!"()'*+$,-./%01/0
TIME FRAME “C”: This is the clamp anticipation period. During this time frame, the
charger decreases the charge current in anticipation of the voltage clamp. Clamp anticipa-
tion begins at a voltage 7.0V below the voltage set by the DATA BASE parameter “High
Charge Clamp Volts”. The rate of charge current decrease is a function of the rate of battery
voltage increase. Clamp anticipation is incorporated to minimize clamp voltage overshoot.
TIME FRAME “D”: This is the voltage limited period which begins once the voltage set
by the value of the DATA BASE parameter “High Charge Clamp Volts” is exceeded. Dur-
ing this time some ripple will be noticeable on the voltage waveform. This ripple is due to
the limited resolution of the digital–to–analog convertor which controls charge current.
The duration of this time period is variable depending on the state–of–charge of the batter-
ies prior to charge as well as over all battery condition. This time frame ends, as does the
“High Charge Mode”, when the charge current drops to the level set by the DATA BASE
parameter “Start Timed Charge Counts”.
TIME FRAME “E”: This is the timed charge period which begins when the switch to
“Trickle Mode” is made. When the charger is in the trickle mode, the resolution of the sys-
tem increases by a factor of 10. This is the reason for the sudden increase of voltage at
AMX1A2A1 TP29 by an order of magnitude. (Note, however, that the voltage across the
AMX1A3R1 charging resistor doesn’t change appreciably.) During the initial stages of this
time period, the battery voltage may increase (as shown in Illustration 13–1 ). This is be-
cause a one count change of the charge DAC does not have the same affect in the trickle
mode as in the high charge mode. The firmware decreases the current by one DAC count
once every two minutes as long as the voltage remains less than two volts above the clamp
level, and once every 15 seconds if the voltage is more than two volts but less than five volts
over the clamp. If the battery voltage exceeds the clamp by more than five volts, the firm-
ware will drop the charge current to zero for 15 seconds and then reapply it at a lower level.
This period ends when the amount of time equal to the DATA BASE parameter “TOP OFF
TIME” in minutes has elapsed and charge current is brought to zero.
TIME FRAME “F”: This is the “CHARGE COMPLETE” period. The charger output is
zero, the system electronics are powered from the A.C. line, and “CHARGE COMPLETE”
is displayed on the message display. The system will remain in this state until the system is
unplugged from its AC outlet. If during this time period the battery voltage falls below the
level set by the DATA BASE parameter “Monitor Full Capacity Millivolts”, the firmware
will trip the circuit breaker to conserve charge if the system has been in the “CHARGE
COMPLETE” mode for at least the amount of time specified by the DATA BASE parame-
ter “Breaker Trip Time”. One of three conditions can cause this to occur. First, the battery
set can have one or more shorted cells each decreasing the voltage by approximately 2
volts. Second, the regulator circuit which supplies power to the system electronics may be
defective, forcing the battery to supply this power. Finally the breaker might trip if the sys-
tem is left in the “CHARGE COMPLETE” mode for many days, because of the battery’s
own self–discharge.

Illustration 13–6 shows in detail what occurs at the beginning of a charge cycle. When the
system first senses that the charge cord has been plugged in, it sets the Charge Current DAC
to its appropriate level and then closes the charge enable relays (K150 and K187) on the
charge board AMX1A3A1. Charge current is maintained at this initial level for approxi-
mately 75 seconds to allow for stabilization. The Charge Current DAC output is then in-
creased at a rate of 9 DAC counts per 18 seconds until the maximum current level (set by the
DATA BASE parameter “Maximum Charging mA”) is reached. See Illustration 13–8 for a
case where the charge current does not ramp up to its maximum level.

The profile in Illustration 13–7 shows what occurs when a battery which has been only
slightly discharged is recharged. Because the battery quickly becomes resistant to charge,
its voltage climbs at a fast rate and generally over–shoots the clamp voltage as shown.
TIME FRAME “A”: This is the “High Charge Mode”. See Illustration 13–8 for an expan-
sion and detailed description of this time frame.
TIME FRAME “B”: This is the timed charge period which begins when the switch to
“Trickle Mode” is made. For an extended charge this timed charge ends when the amount of
time equal to the DATA BASE parameter “Final Phase Time” in hours has elapsed. The
charger maintains the battery voltage at the clamp level by slowly decreasing the current.
TIME FRAME “C”: This is the “CHARGE COMPLETE” period for an extended charge.
The charger enters a float charge condition, and charger output is adjusted to maintain the
battery voltage at the level determined by the DATA BASE parameter “Trickle Charge
Clamp Voltage”. This voltage will be maintained until the charge cord is removed from its
AC outlet.

Illustration 13–8 shows what occurs when a nearly charged battery is recharged. Charge is
initiated as described for Illustration 13–6, except that the current never reaches its maxi-
mum level because current stops increasing when the battery voltage exceeds the clamp
voltage minus seven volts (123V in this case). The charger now enters a clamp anticipation
phase as indicated by the Time Frame “C” description for Illustration 13–5. Once the clamp
voltage is exceeded, the charge current decreases at a rate of 1 DAC count every six seconds
if the voltage is increasing at a rate greater than 0.2V in six seconds. Otherwise, charge cur-
rent is decreased at a rate of 1 DAC count every 40 seconds. If the clamp voltage is exceed-
ed by more than 2.00V, the firmware brings the charge current demand to zero for 15 sec-
onds to force the battery voltage to drop before the charge current is reapplied at a level 3
DAC counts lower. If the battery voltage needs to be dropped more than 4 times within a 4
minute window, the charge current is reapplied at a level 10 DAC counts lower.

13-14-1 Battery Charger Run–Time Diagnostics
Checking charge current feedback. The actual feedback must be within !20% of the
expected feedback otherwise an error is flagged.
Checking to see if the charger is saturated. During the high current charging phase, the
charger is assumed to be saturated if the charge current feedback is approximately 6% lower
than the expected value. Charger saturation occurs when the charger can not meet the
charge current demand. Usually this takes place toward the end of a charge cycle when the
battery voltage is high (head voltage is low). When saturation is detected, charge current
demand is decreased.

The drive mode is entered from application code whenever the drive handle is engaged and
is exited when the handle is released.
The Drive Control Algorithm converts the drive handle input to a drive command, allowing
“reverse only” if the bumper is engaged. It sends the status of the x–ray tube parked switch
to the drive control board.

From the graph on Illustration 13–10 it becomes apparent the any handle input will map the
appropriate output drive command. It should be noted that the left and right channels are
independent from one another.
Drive Control Run–Time Diagnostics in the main drive control loop check drive current
feedback to see that it is equal to or less than the drive command. Checks for drive stalls and
stuck handle are also done.
13-15-2 Drive Diagnostics
Using the Run–Time Diagnostic Drive Display to Isolate Drive Errors. Firmware in-
cludes diagnostics which display drive command and feedback for both left and right drives
on the kVp mAs display. The displays are activated any time the service switch is active
when the unit is in the drive mode. The displays are activated any time the service switch is
active when the unit is in the drive mode. The display format is as follows:

The displays change very fast but you should be able to notice trends. That is, as the output
increases so should the feedback and when the output decreases the feedback should follow.
The only time the feedback equals the output is when the drive power amp is not pulse width
limited which only occurs when the unit is accelerating from stop and when driving very
slowly. Note that the data is displayed in hex and that because of the bipolar operation of the
drives a request for no drive corresponds to 80 (HEX) on the display. Keeping this in mind,
the feedback should always be on the same side of 80 as the Output command (+ a couple
counts). If a drive fault should occur, the firmware “locks” the fault condition on the display
as long as the drive deadman switch is held active. This will allow you to record the display
so that you can interpret what it means. The display is especially helpful in isolating blown
fuses or bad connections to the drive motors. If either of these conditions were present you
would see the feedback remain constant while the output command is very active.
Conditions which are detected as faults:
1. Current feedback indicating drive in the opposite direction from what was comman-
ded.
2. Current feedback in excess of what was commanded.
3. Current feedback which doesn’t exceed 10% of the output command for at least 100
ms.

WHAT SOFTWARE WANTS TO SEE FROM THE HALL EFFECT SENSORS:
The AMX software looks for certain voltages from the Hall effect sensors in the Drive han-

" The voltages from the Hall effect sensors enter the CPU via analog MUX U342. They
can be measured at CPU TP22 (left handle) or TP21 (right handle). They must be as
follows, or calibration errors will occur:

" Always push full forward and pull full back during calibration. Otherwise, the CPU
may see a greater or lesser voltage than expected during applications, and cause a 218
error.
" During applications, the software looks at the Hall sensor voltage and does some cal-
culations based on data gathered during handle calibration. The calculations convert
the approximately 3–7 Volt Hall signal into a –10 to +10 Volt signal used as the Drive
Command to the drive servo. This command is the output from a D/A converter and
can be seen on TP19 (left drive) and TP18 (right drive). A 0 Volt command is a com-
mand for no motion, while a + or – command provides drive in a forward or reverse
direction.
" If there is no voltage change at Test Points 21 or 22, explore the Handle Check signal.
WHAT THE HANDLE CHECK SIGNAL IS FOR:
The AMX CPU makes the handle check signal from a D/A output that is normally used for
the Charge Current Command. While AMX is driven, it cannot charge, so this D/A per-
forms double duty.
" The Handle Check signal is at CPU TP29. This should measure about 10 Volts with
a meter. When the drive enable bar is engaged, the signal is actually a square wave
that is 10 Volts for 24 mS and 0 Volts for 1 mS. When this signal drops to zero, it forces
the signal from the Hall sensor to zero. The signal is continuously 10 Volts when the
enable bar is released.

" During driving, the CPU looks for the drop to zero Volts once every 24 ms. During
the 24 ms in between, the CPU can get the actual handle command. If this zero Volt
drop is missing, there will be a 218 error. This is a safety feature to guarantee that the
analog MUX, Sample and Hold, and A/D are working correctly while driving, in order
to prevent runaway of the AMX.
WHAT SOFTWARE WANTS TO SEE FROM THE DRIVE FEEDBACK SIGNAL:
The CPU expects certain voltages from the drive servo’s Drive Feedback signal that is input
to the CPU at PIN 25 (left drive) and PIN 26 (right drive) of analog MUX U342.
" The Drive Command from CPU is a –10 to +10 Volt command with 0 Volts meaning
“do not drive.” The feedback that should be seen from the servo is calculated by the
following formula:
Feedback Voltage = 5 + ((Drive Command x 0.625) x 0.5)
Thus there is a Drive Command that goes above and below 0 Volts which produces
a feedback that goes above and below 5 Volts.
" The software looks at this feedback whenever the enable bar is picked up. An error
occurs if any of the following happens:

" Monitor the command and feedback by flipping down the Service Switch while in

kV/mA display. (There is a good description of this in Section 13–15–2 of this manu-
al.) Note that the display for the command is scaled by the .625 (63%) factor so that
the command and feedback will match.

" The software looks at this feedback as soon as handle is lifted. When not driving, there
should be about 5 Volts at PINS 25 and 26 of the MUX. If there isn’t about 5 Volts
upon picking up the enable bar, there will be a “RELEASE HANDLE” or 214 thru
217 error. This can be an aid in troubleshooting. If there is an error by just pulling up
the enable bar, it means that feedback was never correct, and the problem is probably
the CPU or Drive Controller. If handle has to be moved to get error, there is probably
a blown fuse or bad Power Amp board.
Usually the Power Amp Fails because a FET becomes shorted. This shorted FET will
probably destroy a DG201 analog switch on the Drive Controller (U31 or U51), and
blow a fuse (F1 or F2 by the drive contactors). Determine if the FET’s are shorted by
measuring their impedance with an OHM meter. There should be at least 10K OHM

13-16 Generator Control
13-16-1 Generator Control Algorithm
Following is a sequence of events for a no error x–ray cycle:
1. Prep switch is pressed.

2. 60Hz inverter is turned off if the field light was on (this prevents electrical noise when
the rotor relay is switched in).
3. Check critical status interlocks.
4. Turn on the 60Hz inverter (rotor).
5. Turn on filament inverter and boost the filament.
6. Output kVp DAC command.
7. Output leakage compensation DAC command.
8. Pull in the safety contactor.
9. Determine battery voltage.
10. Turn on the 1kHz inverter.
11. Output the required filament current command.
12. Select the appropriate tap relays.
13. Display “READY FOR X–RAY”
14. Expose switch is pressed.
15. mAs integrator is enabled.
16. Start exposure command is issued.
17. Auto Cal data is collected.
18. Interlocks are continuously checked during the exposure.
19. When the selected mAs is reached on the mAs integrator, the exposure is terminated
(the “stop command” is issued)
20. All DAC outputs are set to “0”.
21. The 60Hz, 1kHz and 2kHz Inverters are turned off.
22. Adjust filament current demand database using Auto Cal data.
23. Turn off rotor and tap select relays.
24. Wait for Prep Switch to be released.
13-16-2 Selecting The Proper KVp Demand
The correct kVp, demand is determined from the operator selected kVp and calibrated data
base values. During kVp calibration, the relationship between 4 kVp demand DAC outputs
and the resulting kVp is determined. All kVp demands are then linearly interpolated in be-
tween these database entries.

!"#$%% &'!"()'*+$,-./%01/0
13-16-3 Selecting The Proper Tap Relay Combination
The selected tap relay combination is a function of selected kVp, battery voltage and cali-
brated tap constants. The tap combination that will yield an average emission current clos-
est to 100mA will be selected.
13-16-4 Selecting The Proper Filament Current Demand
The proper filament current is determined using the selected kVp and the calculated emis-
sion current resulting from the selected tap relay combination. During filament current
calibration the filament current at 90 and 110 mA of emission current is determined for each
kVp station and stored in the database. A linear interpolation is done on these database ele-
ments using the calculated emission current to arrive at the proper filament current at the
selected kVp.
13-16-5 Auto Calibration
To compensate for tube aging and to “tweak” interpolated filament current points, auto
calibration is done after all exposures longer than 10ms as follows:
" Determine how much the filament current needs to be adjusted based on the initial
kVp error of the last exposure.
" Weight the filament current table adjustments based on the mA.
" Adjust adjacent filament current table points to reflect the change made at the present
station.
13-16-6 Generator Control Diagnostics (Fault Detection)
During the PREP and EXPOSURE cycles, the firmware continuously checks the status of
various interlocks. As a result, there 36 unique errors that can appear. All x–ray generator
related faults are indicated by the message “ERROR 4xx”, where xx is a unique error code
for a particular fault.
13-17 Field Light Control
The field light can be turned on any time the unit is not charging or in the x–ray mode (prep
or expose) provided a generator fault has not occurred. The field light is turned on by ena-
bling the 60Hz clocks to the 60Hz inverter. The clocks remain enabled for from 5 to 45 sec-
onds after the field light switch is released. Pressing the field light switch during the 5 to 45
second time period reloads the timer with the calibrated on time. The field light has a maxi-
mum total on time of 200 seconds before it is disabled for cooling.

The battery aging algorithm may change the “monitor_zero_capacity_millivolts” to pre-

vent potential error during exposure. This will make the minimum on the bar graph corre-
spond to a voltage higher than 112V. (The normal bargraph range corresponds to 112V min.
and 114V max.)
The algorithm may be disabled and the range reset to norm by loading defaults, running full
calibration, and loading location 19D with 0000. (See the data base access section).

46–329187G1/46–329188G1 or
46–329187G2/46–329188G2 (SMART GAUGE)
This section describes the high–level operation of the battery capacity metering algorithm
for the AMX–4 mobile rad product. This algorithm shall hereafter be referred to as
“SMART GAUGE”. The SMART GAUGE firmware divorces the bar graph display from
battery voltage and instead uses actual usage to approximate remaining capacity. This has
the effect of normalizing all battery sets regardless of manufacturer or manufacturing date.
It also allows the system to be relatively insensitive to bad cells as long as performance is
still there.
13-22-1 Discharge Loads
When the AMX–4 is “ON”, there are five distinct loads on the battery. They are idle, drive,
field light, prep, and x–ray exposures. All load currents except for drive are relatively con-
stant and can be integrated easily over time. To be conservative, the drive load is considered
to be constant at a level equivalent to driving at top speed on a flat level surface.

Available capacity in milliamp hours is decreased from its present level as described by the
follow equation:
remaining capacity = remaining capacity

– idle energy removed since last sample
– drive energy removed since last sample
– field light energy removed since last sample
– prep energy removed since last sample
– xray energy removed since last sample

!"#$%% &'!"()'*+$,-./%01/0
The various energy removed values (in milliamp seconds) will be determined from elapsed
time as follows:
ENERGY REMOVED ELAPSED TIME NOMINAL LOAD&
idle energy removed = {[Elapsed idle time] " 300 (mA)}
drive energy removed = {[Elapsed drive time] " 3000 (mA)}
field light energy removed = {[Elapsed field light time] " 2500(mA)}
prep energy removed = {[Elapsed xray mode time] " 3000(mA)}
Exposure energy removed (in mA seconds) will be determined from exposure data as fol-
lows:
x-ray energy removed = {[Cumulative Exposure Energy since last sample (Joules)]
" (conversion factor)
where,
conversion factor =(1000 mA/A) # [ 0.75 (generator eff.)"100V (typ. loaded volts) ]
= 13
&
These nominal loads are adjustable via DATA BASE parameters. The load to DATA
BASE names are cross–referenced below:
NOMINAL LOAD DATA BASE PARAMETER

idle Idle Load Current
drive Drive Load Current
field light Field Light Load Current
prep Prep Load Current
The remaining capacity calculations are done each time a new battery voltage value is cal-
culated which is approximately every five seconds. The % capacity remaining is then dis-
played on the 48 segment bargraph. The bargraph has the relationship of each segment rep-
resenting:
Total Capacity (a DATA BASE parameter)
48 segments
Using the default conditions as an example we get:

6500 mA%HR/48 seg = 135 mA%HR per segment.
Given this default condition, each of the various load modes will remove capacity at differ-
ent rates as follows:
LOAD TYPICAL DAILY
LOAD MODE DISCHARGE RATE
MAGNITUDE USAGE*
Idle 0.3 amps 2.2 segments/hour 0.8 AHR = 6 segments
Drive 3.0 amps 0.4 segments/minute 1.7 AHR = 13 segments

13-22-2 Emergency Capacity
In order to deal with the rare situation where a customer is nearly finished with a patient
exam when capacity goes to 0 preventing further exposures, an emergency capacity feature
is added. Upon power–up, if 0% capacity is detected, three bar segments will be lit. Thus
cycling the keyswitch will give approximately 50 seconds before the bar graph display goes
to 0% again, allowing enough time to position a patient, to illuminate the field light, and to
take an exposure.
13-22-3 Recharge Phases
During charge, available capacity will be increased in three phases. Phase I is the current
limited phase, Phase II is the voltage limited phase, and Phase III is the timed voltage lim-
ited phase. The following paragraphs describe the rules governing the bar graph update.
PHASE I (Current Limit)
This phase occurs at the beginning of a charge cycle when the charger is putting out its max-
imum current and the voltage has not reached its maximum value. During this time, 50% of
the segments unlit at the beginning of charge will be illuminated. Concurrently, the capac-
ity remaining variable will be increased by 50%.

Ramp–Up Voltage (127V)
There are several exceptions to the above relationship:
1. This phase may be skipped when attempting to charge fully charged batteries or bat-
teries which are resistant to charge. This occurs when the charging current is more
than 20 DAC counts below maximum at the end of the charge ramp–up.
2. The maximum % change is limited to 10% per volt of difference between the begin-
ning and ending Phase 1 voltages. As an example, if the voltage at the end of the cur-
rent ramp–up is 123V, the maximum % change will be limited to 40%
[(127V–124V)"10%].
3. If the clamp anticipation algorithm decreases the charge current by more than 20 DAC
counts, phase 1 will end.

!"#$%% &'!"()'*+$,-./%01/0
PHASE II (Voltage Limit)
As the charge clamp voltage is approached or once it is exceeded, charge current is de-
creased to keep the battery charge voltage at the programmed limit. 50% of the segments
unlit at the beginning of PHASE II will be lit during this phase. This phase is complete when
the switch to trickle mode is made. Segments will be lit as a function of the present Charge
DAC count as shown in the following graph.

(typ. 130 counts) (typ. 26 counts)
There is one exception to the above relationship. If charging batteries which are fully
charged, Phase I will be by–passed and the starting Phase II charge DAC count will be very
low. In this case, the maximum % change in capacity is limited to 0.7% per DAC count. As
an example, if the DAC count at the start of Phase II is 76 and the Switch to trickle mode
DAC count is 26, % change in capacity for Phase II will be 35%. Note that for nearly
charged batteries and for batteries resistant to charge, this phase may be very short.
PHASE III (Timed Charge)
After the switch to the trickle mode has been made, the remaining charge is a function of
time. When “CHARGE COMPLETE” is displayed, all bar segments will have been lit. The
timed phase can be a top–off or an extended charge; the relationship is the same. Available
capacity will be increased as shown in the following graph.

“Stuck–At–Full” Feature
When the charge cycle reaches “CHARGE COMPLETE”, an additional amount of capac-
ity will be added to the remaining capacity. This results in the automotive equivalent of
having the fuel gauge “stuck–at–full” after filling up the fuel tank. The amount of “over-
charge” is defaulted to 500mA%HR. The amount of overcharge is controlled by the DATA
BASE parameter Full Charge Excess Capacity. The segments on the bar graph display will
be at full until this “overcharge” is used up during discharge.

13-22-4 Voltage Compensation
To guard against unusual usage, a circuit defect, or shorted battery cells, all of which may
cause a deviation from the current load model, voltage compensation is incorporated in the
SMART GAUGE algorithm. To accomplish this, the energy removed during each cycle
will be multiplied by a compensation factor as shown in the following table:
VOLTAGE RANGE FOR WHICH ...
... Compensation ... Compensation ... Compensation

CONDITION
Factor = 1 Factor = 2 Factor = 3
IDLE > 112.0V > 111.0V and < 112.0V < 111.0V
DRIVE > 110.5V > 109.5V and < 110.5V < 109.5V
FIELD LIGHT > 111.0V > 110.0V and < 111.0V < 110.0V
DRIVE and
> 109.5V > 108.5V and < 109.5V < 108.5V
FIELD LIGHT
The table above assumes the default condition of 11200 (2BC0 Hex) for the DATA BASE
parameter “Nominal 0% capacity Millivolts” which represents 112.00V. The important
item to note is that even with voltage compensation in effect, the bar graph (% capacity)
response will still be linear with usage. The bar graph will not fall off sharply as had been
the case with the previous capacity algorithm.

13-22-6 Battery Aging
To guard against the adverse effects of aging batteries on high voltage generator perform-
ance, a battery aging algorithm is incorporated to reduce the capacity available over the
range of the bar graph display as described in Section 13-22-1. If battery aging is effecting
the system high voltage performance, the DATA BASE parameter “Battery Aging Capacity
Offset” will begin to increase. It is limited to 70% of the value of the DATA BASE parame-
ter “Total Capacity”. Relatively new battery sets may also activate this algorithm if a
shorted cell(s) is present.

If a customer begins to complain about “Capacity Problems”, an inspection of the “Battery

Aging Capacity Offset” DATA BASE parameter should be made using DATA BASE AC-
CESS to see if the algorithm has been activated. Note: This feature can be disabled by writ-
ing 0000 to the “Battery Aging Disable” DATA BASE parameter.

13-23 Heat Storage Tube Protection

The new application firmware simulates the actual target temperature. It does not generate
a heat wait after each exposure like the previous firmware. It only generates a heat wait for
heat storage technique selection greater than the track on bulk limits.
13-24 Service Mode

This mode of operation is intended to be used only by a service person. It can only be en-
tered only with the use of the service switch. The service mode consists of three functions:
calibration, extended diagnostics and data base access. These functions are described be-
low.
13-25 Calibration
To enter the calibration mode, the unit must be powered–up with the service switch in the
service mode position. Once power–up testing is complete, the “CALIBRATE SYSTEM”
function must be selected. At this point the following items can be calibrated.
13-25-1 Drive Handle Calibration
The Handle Is The Only Portion Of The Drive system that requires calibration. The calibra-
tion is basically in two parts. First the “no force” transducer output is determined. Next the
transducer output at full forward and full reverse handle displacement is determined for
both the left and right channels. From these the magnet polarity and input gains can be de-
termined.
13-25-2 Battery Charger Calibration
During charger calibration, the AMX4 “learns” the relationship between the charge current
command and the charge current feedback both for high charge and trickle charge. To do
this the AMX 4 calibration firmware outputs two different charge commands and saves the
charge current feedback for these points in the data base. From these values in the data base,
the expected feedback at any charge command can be interpolated. The AMX 4 also
“learns” the relationship between charge current command and actual charging current.
The serviceperson is involved in this step since he enters the voltage across the charging
current limit resistor. The value which is saved in the data base is:
"23S&)l)8(+):B;5)#)&01&4&=)":312>&)")*$$$
The actual charging current is determined at two charge commands. This allows the actual
charging current to be interpolated for any charge command.

13-25-3 Battery Voltmeter Calibration
During this calibration step, the AMX 4 “learns” the relationship between actual battery
voltage and the frequency of the VCO which monitors battery voltage. To do this, the AMX
4 counts battery voltage pulses for 5 seconds and then prompts the operator to enter the ac-
tual battery voltage. From this information a counts–per–volt ratio can be determined and
stored in the data base.
13-25-4 Generator Calibration
This calibration step is divided into four parts as shown below. It is assumed that the battery
voltage calibration has been done properly.
13-25-5 mAs Calibration
The Illustration 13–13 shows the mAs calibration circuitry.
During mAs calibration approximately 100 mA is injected into the mA metering circuitry
which is based on a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The resulting frequency clocks
the counter for a set period of time (3 seconds). As a result, the number of VCO pulses per
mAs is given by:

13-25-6 kVp Calibration
This calibration step calibrates the AMX 4 to the particular bleeder/meter combination be-
ing used for measurement. During this step the AMX 4 “learns” the relationship between
kVp demand and actual kVp. The service person monitors the kVp on an oscilloscope and
enters the kVp value when the AMX 4 requests it. Calibration is done at 4 points – 52, 64, 85
and 120 kVp

13-25-7 Tap Relay Calibration
This is the longest calibration step, but it is fully automated. All the service person is re-
quired to do is hold down the prep and expose switches. The purpose of Tap Calibration is to
define the system characteristics of as many of the 28 valid tap combinations as possible.
Starting at no taps selected, the AMX 4 determines which two kVp’s yield emission cur-
rents of 90 and 110 mA for each tap combination. The Illustration 13–14 shows the informa-
tion that is gathered from this cal.
For each tap combination two parameters are stored in the data base; the System Resistance
which is the slope of the tap combination load line, and the Effective Turns Ratio which is
the y–intercept (kVp at 0mA) divided by the battery voltage.
13-25-8 Filament Current (X–ray Tube

Characteristics) Calibration
Filament current demand is calibrated at four kVp station: 52, 64, 85 and 120 kVp. For each
kVp station two tap combinations are used – the ones that will yield emission currents clos-
est to 90mA and 110mA.
Linear interpolation is used to determine the filament current demand values at 90 and 110 mA
for each kVp station. These eight calibrated points are then used to interpolate the remaining
filament current table entries in the data base as shown in Table 13–1.

Obtaining the correct filament current demand at each of the eight calibration points is done
as follows:
1. The filament current used for the first exposure at a new calibration point is based on
data collected during tap calibration.
2. When an exposure is taken, the filament current feedback “error” (indicative of kVp
error) is integrated. This integrated error and its polarity determines how much the
filament current must be adjusted.
3. If the integrated error is greater than the maximum allowable error then take another
exposure with the new filament current of step 2 above.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 until the error is within limits.
13-25-9 Field Light On Time Calibration
This calibration step allows the field light “ON” time to be calibrated. Valid times are any-
where from 5 to 45 seconds.
13-26 Extended Diagnostics And Service Tools
This portion of the service mode is intended to assist the service representative in trouble–
shooting. It is password protected to prevent unauthorized access to these tests.
13-27 Data Log Access
This portion of the service mode allows access to the history of the unit. It is password pro-
tected to prevent unauthorized access.
13-28 Data Base Access
This portion of the service mode allows the service representative to view and change data
base elements. It is password protected to prevent unauthorized access.

14-3 Generator Cal
The following three subsections will help with common problems which may occur during
generator calibration.
14-3-1 Tube Spits During

“CALIBRATE TAPS”
If you run into tube spits at high kVp’s during Tap Cal, try slowing the pace of the calibra-
tion once the kVp is greater than 125 kVp. That is, wait approximately 30 seconds between
exposures and keep the unit in prep longer by allowing the message “READY FOR X–
RAY” to be displayed for 5 seconds before pressing the expose switch.
14-3-2 X–ray Word Limit During

“CAL FIL CUR TBL”
If an “X–RAY WORD LIMIT” occurs during “CAL FIL CUR TBL” you can prevent the
unit from forcing a re–calibration of the entire unit by doing the
following:
1. With “X–RAY WORD LIMIT” still on the display press mAs # until you get to the
“CALIBRATE GENERATOR” level. (DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR PUSH
THE RESET SWITCH!)
2. Press mAs $ twice and redo the mAs calibration. This updates the appropriate check-
sums and prevents a forced recalibration of the active generator.
3. Redo “CAL FIL CUR TBL”.
14-3-3 Triggering – The Oscilloscope

Prior to “CALIBRATE kVp”
You can save time by making sure your oscilloscope triggers properly prior to entering
“CALIBRATE kVp”. If the unit fails Power–Up Test 04, you can use the checksum by–
pass feature to enter the application mode and take exposures. Use 50 kVp at 2 mAs to es-
tablish your trigger.

14-4 Synchronizing Internal Capacity Meter to

Capacity Displayed (Firmware 46–329187G1
and 46–329188G1 or 46–329187G2
and 46–329188G2 ONLY)
It is possible when servicing the AMX–4 to throw the internal capacity meter and the capac-
ity displayed out–of–sync. This can occur if the batteries are discharged a considerable
amount, say with the battery load fixture, followed by a volt meter calibration. If the
AMX–4 is then put in the application mode, the %capacity displayed will be low while the
internal capacity meter may still be quite high. Given this situation, it may take some time
for the internal capacity meter to “catch–up” with the % capacity displayed.
The reverse can happen if the batteries are charged outside of the application mode (or a
new battery set is installed), followed by a volt meter calibration. In this case the unit may
exhibit rapid bar graph fall off, while the % capacity displayed catches up with the internal
capacity meter which hasn’t changed since the last time application mode was active.
There are two remedies for these situations.
1. Charge the unit to “CHARGE COMPLETE”. This approach updates both the internal
capacity meter and the % displayed and will eventually synchronize the two.
2. Using the LOOP TEST diagnostic tool, write FF into location 0CB4. This approach
corrupts the internal capacity meter forcing a synchronization of internal capacity to
% capacity the next time the system is powered up in the applications mode.
