OTE
: If the options configuration is set up using the “
Get from generator
” method
(Transfer/Connect/ Get from generator), it is possible that the obtained Hardware setup does
not fit the generator setup accurately, or that the
compatibility check does not take into account
certain expansion boards.
Therefore, it is better to make it manually by choosing which board is present in
which slot
.

Use the File menu to save the file on the PC. If necessary, send the newly configured data on the
generator (Section 4.2.3).

TUBE SETUP
The Tube Setup module is used to transfer the X-ray tube chart of the connected tube(s) to the
generator before the X-ray tube could be calibrated (Section 5.2) and the generator be fully
functional.
This step is of the utmost importance as it ensures the X-ray tube operating
parameters are within safe limits.

Click
Import…
button to choose an X-ray tube from the tube library of the
Epsilon PC Tools program. If your tube is not listed in the tube library, contact
emd technologies
service organization for a technical advice.
The tube library (*.tub) uses file names very similar to the manufacturer tube models.
4.
Verify that the tube data displayed by the program does correspond to the tube chart of the
manufacturer.
Important
For any discrepancy in the tube chart characteristics, contact our service organization
before initiating the tube calibration. Emd technologies does not guarantee the accuracy or adequacy of
the tube charts and is not responsible for any tube damage resulting from misuse of tube charts provided
with the generator.
5.
Save the file to make this tube chart parts of the current configuration file (*.emd) for your
system and send the data to the generator (Section 4.2.3).
6.
Repeat the process for the X-ray tube number 2, if any.
