Instruction Manual 3.12 Digital Radiography
The tube current time product (mAs) is only
displayed during radiographic exposure.
The digital radiography conditions are set automatically based on the uoroscopy conditions. For this reason,
before taking a radiograph you should turn the IBS function ON and perform uoroscopy until the uoroscopy
image is stabilized. The DSA option is not sold in China.
Releasing your foot from the foot switch during irradiation will end X-ray irradiation partway through and stop radiography.
Depress the right foot switch.
