Note
Set the Detector so all of the active area of the Detector is exposed to the X-
ray beam. A
22-inch distance from the focal point to the Detector is
suggested.
Detector Placement with Below Table X-ray Source
For X-ray machines that have the X-ray source below the table, align the Detector face
down, in the middle of the beam, with the long axis of the Detector perpendicular to the
axis of the X-ray tube. See Figure 2-5.

How to Measure X-ray Parameters
Connect and set up the X-ray Detector for a measurement. See the How to Setup the
System section above for connection and set up instructions. The MEASUREMENT
screen in Figure 2-6 shows in the Display.
Note
If the mAs Detector is already connected, an mAs Measurement Option
screen can show in the display. Go to the How to Use the mAs Detector
manual section to set the mAs measurement options. When done, come back
to this section to continue the X-ray measurement.
