a. The default AEC density setting may be modified using the
AEC DENSITY increase (up arrow) and decrease (down
arrow) keys adjacent to the Density field. Each step adjusts
density up/down by 15% relative to the average setting. For
APR manual (non-AEC) exposures, the PATIENT TYPE set-
ting changes the time/mAs value in 25% increments. Modify
the patient type setting using the increase (up arrow) and
decrease (down arrow) keys adjacent to the PATIENT TYPE
field.
b. Film Screen - choices are WALL 72", WALL 40", TABLE 40",
100 Speed, 200 Speed, 800 Speed, and FILM/Screen7. If the
Digital Receptor setting in Service Configuration Menu is
enabled, an eighth option entitled "Digital" will also be select-
able. (Note that these are the factory default film/screen
combination names. However, each can be edited as neces-
sary by user).
NOTE: In the event "light" films are produced,
verify the correct film/screen combination is
selected.
c. For AEC exposures, select the desired ion chamber field com-
bination using the three AEC field keys on the operator con-
trol panel.
Ensure that the appropriate RECEPTOR (i.e. WALL
40", WALL 72" or TABLE 40") is selected prior to AEC FIELD
selection.
A configuration of three boxes (representing AEC
detectors) is depicted on the LCD. A shaded box indicates an
enabled AEC detector. To select a different AEC detector,
press the corresponding AEC FIELD select key until the
desired detector(s) is enabled. There are seven possible
combinations of AEC detector configurations.
