Releasing an exposure
❏ Release the exposure with the exposure release button on the system remote
control console or via the foot switch in the control room, or table-side (op-
tion).
❏ Radiation is released as long as you continue to press the exposure release
button.
❏ The radiation ON indicators must light up.
Radiation interruption If you let go of the exposure release button during radiation, the exposureis inter-
rupted immediately.
Exposure end Letting the exposure release button go, a full image memory or reaching the max-
imum scene time ends the exposure series including contrast medium injection.
The scene time refers to the set maximum frame rate. A reduction of the frame
rate leads to a corresponding lengthening of the scene time.
