11.2.1  Menu 1 Toggle LED 

The T2 key is used to set each LED separately to max. brightness and to display the 

transmissions: 

 

-  Red channel    

output value: max. 

input value: measured intensity 

-  Green channel  

output value: max  

input value: measured intensity 

-  Both channels off 

 
 
11.2.2 T2 Calibrate 

The T2 key is used to perform the calibration as in the main menu except with additional 
information being displayed. 
 

-  Red channel    

output value: 250 

input value: measured intensity 

-  Green channel  

output value: 250 

input value: measured intensity 

 
11.2.3  T2 Take default 

The T2 key is used to write the default settings into the memory: 
 

-  Instrument-specific calibration factor (app. fact) 

100 

-  Foil-specific calibration factor (foil fact.)

11.2.4  T2 App. fact (instrument-specific calibration factor) 

T2 calls-up the menu which can be used to set the instrument-specific calibration factor. Any 
factor between 0 – 255 can be set. This allows differences in components to be compensated 
for thereby ensuring identical dose readings for different devices. This factor is retained when 
exiting with T3 and is not to be modified. 
The device must be calibrated (see section 11.2.2) before the instrument-specific calibration 
factor is set. 
 

11.2.5  T2 Decimal point 

T2 can be used to determine whether the dose reading in the main menu is to be displayed with 
a decimal point or not. 
The current setting can only be viewed in the main menu. The film or instrument-specific 
calibration factor settings are always displayed with one decimal point. 

 
11.2.6  Service mode 3 (battery of SRAM is empty) 

If the battery is empty, the defined variables (film or instrument-specific calibration factor) are 
lost after the device is switched off. 
This is indicated by the message „no valid values in device“
