Technical Manual
2.6 Test mode
The test mode enables the X-ray to be operated without radiation being generated. Press the
CTL-key and press any of the kV selection and mA selection keys. The kV and mA displays will
clear indicating that the X-ray tube has been switched off and that you have entered the test
mode.
Repeat the above procedure to exit the test mode and switch the radiation on again. The mA and
kV values will reappear on the display.
2.7 Parameter history display
The parameters of the 25 previously taken exposures are stored into the memory of the equip-
ment and can be examined or taken into use if desired. Pressing CTL and then the UP or DOWN
key activates this parameter history display mode showing the last taken exposure parameters.
In this mode the keys ready, up, down and CTL only are operative. Operating the other keys
does nothing. The functions of these keys are:
UP Find next parameters (newer one)
DOWN Find previous parameters (elder one)
READY Take the parameters shown into use and exit to normal
mode
CTL Exit to normal mode
All displayed parameters (but the time display) indicate the parameters selected during the spe-
cific exposure. If the exposure time display is blinking, it indicates that the taken exposure was a
cephalostatic one. Note that everything, including the special segment selections, sinus mode
etc. are stored into the memory and can be restored with ready key.
NOTE The cephalostatic exposures don’t store the layer position but the soft tissue wedge posi-
tion.
NOTE The height adjustment is not restored.
The time display indicates the used exposure mode, e.g. PAn, CEPH, P 30.
If less than 25 exposures have been taken the history does not go down to 25 but only to the
amount of exposures taken.
If the history parameters are not desired to be taken into use, there are two ways to exit this
mode without altering the currently selected parameters.
When the CTL- key is pressed the equipment returns to normal mode.
When ready is pressed while the running number 00 is displayed the currently selected parame-
ters are taken into use (no change).
Pressing ready changes the currently selected parameters to the ones that were displayed and
returns the equipment into normal mode.
