The following potentiometers are used for short AEC exposure time compensation:
•
R11 is used for channel 1 short exposure time compensation.
•
R12 is used for channel 2 short exposure time compensation.
•
R13 is used for channel 3 short exposure time compensation.
•
R14 is used for channel 4 short exposure time compensation.
R79 adjusts the output of the high voltage bias supply. This is only fitted on versions of this board intended for
use with ion chambers which require a separate high voltage bias supply. R79 adjusts the value of the +300
and/or the +500 and the +45 VDC outputs, and should be set as per the ion chamber manufacturer
specifications.
The following tables show the pinouts for both the 15 pin D connectors and for the 12 pin in-line connectors
on the AEC board in figure 3D-9.
