X_RAY_ON_

Generator to PXCM

The Generator is emitting X-rays.

Activation:

When the HV is applied to the X-ray tube, the signal is 
activated.

Deactivation:

When the HV is switched off, the signal is deactivated.

Note: 

The emission can be pulsed but the signal will stay 

on for the duration of the full exposure. 

DR_SYST_RDY_

PXCM to Generator

The DirectRay Detector subsystem is prepared for an 
exposure request.

Activation:

When the DirectRay system is ready to receive the signal 
PREP_DR_DET_, the signal DR_SYST_RDY is activated.

Deactivation:

When the signal GEN_RDY_FOR_DR_EXP_ is 
deactivated, the signal DR_SYST_RDY_ is deactivated. 

For timing requirements, see t_dly_from_exp_

fi

nished.

DR_DET_ERR

PXCM to Generator

An error is present in the DirectRay system.

Activation:

When there is an error condition within the DirectRay 
system, the signal is activated.

Deactivation:

When the error condition has been cleared, the signal is 
deactivated.

GEN_POWERED_ON_

Generator to PXCM

The Generator is powered on.

Activation:

Whenever the Generator is powered on, the signal is 
activated.

Deactivation:

Whenever the Generator is powered off, the signal is 
deactivated.
