3 CALIBRATING PANORAMIC SENSOR HEAD
Make sure that the unit is in the panoramic mode.
The calibration must be performed with 2x2 (high resolution), 3x3 (enhanced resolution) and
4x4 (normal resolution) binning. With high resolution select a kilovolt value of 70 and a milli-
ampere value of 12. With enhanced resolution select 70 kV and 6 mA, and with normal reso-
lution select 66 kV and 4 mA. Note that these values must be selected to produce a clear
exposure.
Remove the inner cover from tubehead assembly, if it is in position. Four screws hold the
tubehead cover in position, these are located at the rear of the tubehead assembly.
