Wait a moment while the 8000 analyzes the exposure then displays the measured kVp, exposure, time
and mAs (mAs will be zero because the mAs input was not used).

The NERO mAx's mode of operation is controlled from the main screen. When the menu cursor (blinking
reverse video) is moved to a mode selection, by pressing the mode key or using the up and down arrow
keys, all of the options available for that mode are displayed. Pressing a softkey (1 thru 4) moves the
menu cursor into the selected menu column and starts it blinking. Pressing the softkey again will move
the blinking menu cursor up through the column of available options. Pressing the up and down arrow
keys moves the blinking menu cursor up or down through the selected column of available options. After
options have been highlighted, the enter key is pressed to start the selected mode with the selected
options. Pressing the mode key at any time returns to the mode select screen.
NERO mAx Operating Modes
Radio Mode
Radio mode is used to make measurements on tungsten target, aluminum filtered radiographic x-ray
generators. Radio mode simultaneously measures kVp, exposure, exposure time and mAs from a single
radiographic exposure. Radiographic mode may also be used to verify the NERO mAx’s kV calibration.
