GROUP CHANNEL DIODE OPTION
After entering a new group name the items in the database are displayed. Each group may include from
one to five diodes. The operator must activate each channel individually, assign a diode to that channel
by selecting YES in the diode column, or de-activate the channel by selecting NO. The database
information regarding each diode in the set is displayed along the right side of the selected channel. The
information is only displayed for active diodes (indicated by YES in the diode column).
The SER/NUM entry allows the operator to record the serial number of the diode for the selected channel.
The MODALITY (modality) entries, selected by the scroll UP and scroll DOWN key, include ELECTRON,
PHOTON and CO60. The energy entry allows the operator to enter the target energy for the selected
diode (the energy at which the diode is calibrated). The machine entry may contain the name of the
machine used with the selected diode. The comments field may be used to enter a 7-character alphanu-
meric comment regarding the selected diode. The entries in the database are printed in various reports
for record keeping purposes.
Entering the Database Information:
1. Each channel that has a diode connected must be activated by scrolling to each individual channel
number in the second column and selecting YES in the third column. The fourth column displays
the database items and fifth column allows the user to enter the identifiers for each of these items.
The database items are printed on each report for record keeping purposes.
2. Select channel 1 and enter the Serial number of the diode connected to channel 1. Press the soft-
key below column 5 to scroll the cursor to the right and use the UP and DOWN keys to the right of
the display to enter the appropriate serial number. A blank space can be entered by scrolling down
from "A".
3. Press the OPTION soft-key (column 4) to select the Modality item. Press the soft-key below column
5 and use the UP and DOWN keys to the right of the display to enter the appropriate modality label.
4. Press the OPTION soft-key (column 4) to select the Energy item. Press the soft-key below column
5 to scroll the cursor to the right and use the UP and DOWN keys to the right of the display to enter
the appropriate energy.
5. Press the OPTION soft-key (column 4) to select the Machine item. Press the soft-key below column
5 to scroll the cursor to the right and use the UP and DOWN keys to the right of the display to enter
the appropriate machine label. A blank space can be entered by scrolling down from "A".
6. Press the OPTION soft-key (column 4) to select the Comment item. Press the soft-key below
column 5 to scroll the cursor to the right and use the UP and DOWN keys to the right of the display
to enter the appropriate comment. A blank space can be entered by scrolling down from "A".
7. Repeat this process for each channel that has a diode connected by pressing the column 2 soft-key
to access the related database items.
