Anode current calibration
•
General information
Tube anode current mA is calibrated, for each value of kV and each focal spot, by means of filament
current
I
f
.
Two levels of anode current
mAL
and
mAH
are defined for each focus.
mAH
is related to lower part of kV range and
mAL
to higher part of kV range or mAs range.
mAL
and
mAH
calibration is based on two similar but independent procedures.
•
Calibration by internal instrument
Before entering any calibration mode, it’s necessary to select the manual mode and a value of
mAs
equal to
40
for the
0.3 mm focus
and
13
for the
0.1 mm focus
.
In calibration mode, the following keys are active:
•
Focal spot selection
•
kV selection for whole values
•
filament current adjustment by mAs + / - push buttons.
The anode current related to each value kV for each focus can be found in the Tube calibration report.
