Note:
Not all mAs selections are available at all kV set-
tings.
If in AEC mode, shows the calculated mAs for the current
kV and mA after exposure.
mSec
Shows the exposure time for the technique with the
current kV, mA, and mAs settings after exposure is
completed.
If in AEC mode, the AEC back-up time is displayed below
the Sec field.
The AEC default backup time is two (2) seconds.
Focal Spot:
Selects a large or small focal spot.
CU Filtration:
Selects the amount of copper filtering. The selectable
