9.2 Overview of Calibration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION BEFORE CALIBRATION!
A good overall understanding of the calibration procedure will save time and prevent
problems. Please take a moment to read this section before starting calibration.
Always
press SAVE PAGE to activate the change of a calibration value.
NOTE: When the tube type is selected, the installer has the option of keeping
the existing calibration data or replacing the existing calibration data with
factory defaults.
First
,
set mA leading edge for Small filament.
With the correct tube type selected and
the mA feedback disabled (DIP1-4 of System Controller board OFF) select 50 kVp, 50
milliseconds and 100 mA (Small filament) from the POWER MODULE CALIBRATION
screen and take an exposure. If the mA leading edge needs adjustment, press MASTER
mA and increment or decrement the SM F.S. value that displays in the lower left corner
and SAVE. Press BACK button and repeat as needed to achieve proper output.
Second
,
set mA leading edge for Large filament.
With DIP1-4 still OFF, initially select
50 kVp, 50 milliseconds, and 200 mA. If the leading edge of mA needs adjustment, press
MASTER mA and increment or decrement the LG F.S. value that displays in the lower left
corner and SAVE. Press the BACK button and repeat as needed to achieve proper
output. Now select 300 mA and verify output, again adjusting the MASTER mA value as
needed to achieve proper mA.
Third
,
set mA stabilized levels for Small and Large filament.
Enable mA feedback
(DIP1-4 ON). Select 50 kVp, 200 milliseconds and 50 mA. Adjust mA OFFSET as
needed to achieve the proper stabilized mA level and proper mAs. With the same kVp
and time, select 300 mA, and adjust the mA SLOPE to achieve the proper stabilized mA
level and proper mAs.
Fourth
,
verify that the mA waveforms are square for all mA stations
at 40, 50, 70, 90,
110 and 125 kVp. Adjust the individual FIL AMPS number at these points as needed to
fine tune the mA leading edge to achieve a square waveform.
Fifth
,
adjust kVp
. Select 70 kVp, 50 mA, 100 milliseconds. Adjust the MASTER kV value
as needed to achieve proper output. Each number change equals one kVp.
