File Access Control
Trough the file access control a firmware update can be performed. Use the browse
button to select a firmware file which has the extension CBF. The filename has the
following format:
-
MAJORFWVER_ MINORFWVER_MODELNAME
The major firmware version (MAJORFWVER) and modelname should be identical as the
detector.
After uploading the file to the detector CamExpert will request for a restart of the detector
which is required to reboot with the new firmware.
Shuttering
The Rad-icon Detector does not have a shuttering mechanism built into the detector. The
detector can be operated quite normally with a continuous beam x-ray source, however
there can be motion blur associated with continuous beam imaging. In the case that
pulsed x-ray operation is required, the X-ray pulse must be carefully timed so that x-ray
from the pulse are not incident on the detector during readout. This will cause imaging
artifacts that show up as very uneven illumination within the images.
Dark Current after Standby
A first image acquired after long time in standby mode might contain unwanted signal. It
is recommended to read and discard at least 2 images after standby.
