Anode current check by external device
Anode current check can be carried out using a voltmeter or an oscilloscope connected to resistor
R16 of PCB 92-073.
Measurement is executed during an exposure of a minimum time consistent with reading time of
device used.
In case of use of a digital voltmeter >1" and consequently 100 ÷ 130 mAs per large focal spot and 32
mAs per small focal spot.
DO NOT USE DIGITAL VOLTMETERS IN AUTORANGING MODE AS THEY NEED READING
TIMES LONGER THAN 1".
In case of use of a memory oscilloscope values suggested are the same for internal mA meter (40
mAs for the 0.3 mm focus, 13 mAs for the 0.1 mm focus).
do not calibrate kV values not mentioned in the table.
