The next six steps adjust the beam front to back.
1. At the Array assembly, loosen the four X-alignment nuts located at the corners of
the assembly (see Figure 3-26 above).
2. Turn on the X-rays with the
<F1>
key.
3. For a Discovery A only, adjust the array assembly so that detectors 0 and 215 are
equal.
4. For Discovery C, Ci, W, Wi, and SL models, adjust the array assembly so that
detectors 44 and 171 are equal. You will have to exit this routine, remove the
alignment pin, run the Aperture Calibration procedure (Note: aperture calibration
cannot be run on Ci and Wi models), and then return to X-Ray Survey. When you
enter X-Ray Survey do not change this Aperture setting (set to 7; -1 on Ci and
Wi models), the Hi gain setting (set to 2), the Lo gain setting (set to 1) or the X-
ray mode setting (set to 3).
5. For Display, click Graph.
6. Click X-ray (F2) to turn x-rays on.
7. Follow the procedure in step 3 while checking detectors number 44 and 171 to
check for the fall off of x-rays.
8. Tighten the four X-ray Detector Assembly alignment nuts.
9. Click X-ray (F2) to turn x-rays off.
10. Remove the block and pin (Discovery A Only).
11. Click Close to exit
X-Ray Survey.
12.
Reboot the PC to return to the Discovery software.
3.4.6 Calibrate Aperture (Cannot be run on Ci and Wi mod-
els)
It is crucial that the X-ray beam be precisely aligned with the detector, as improper
alignment directly affects the repeatability (coefficient of variation, or CV) of the
Discovery.
Note: If the table cannot be moved from the Control Panel, it may be necessary to go to
the
Utilities|Emergency Motion
menu selection in the Discovery Software.
This procedure locates the exact positions of each aperture (slit) in motor steps and saves
those values in the HARDWARE.INI file. X-rays are produced during this procedure.
1. Center the table using the
Center Table
button on the Control Panel.
2. Remove all objects from the table.
3. From the Discovery Main screen, select
