System Description
Radiation release

Radiation can be released with the hand switch or the footswitch.
Complete image integration as a function of the set k factor (up to max. k = 8,
depending on the operating mode) is ensured even for very short exposures
("toe tapping").
k factor: a number of k exposures are integrated into one image; the k factor can
be selected between k = 2 and k = 32 and can be assigned to an exam set and
stored (IEC 60601-2-7:1998 29.1.103 d).
