Measuring with an External Detector
The description below describes how to use an external detector with the
Cobia.
1. Start the X-ray unit and Start the Cobia.
2. Set up the external detector unit. For an external dose probe, place the
detector at a clinically relevant distance (typically 50 - 100 cm from the
source), as described by the manual of the detector.
3. Attach the external detector to the Cobia.
4. If needed, select among the available calibrations (shown below).
5. Adjust the X-ray unit to the desired settings.
6. Start an exposure (or other signal).
7. When the measurement is over, the recorded values are by default
cycled on the Cobia display. Press the Right arrow button to go to the List
view. All measurement resulting from the external input is marked with
an EXT symbol.
8. Record the results.
