Exposure button
•
Press and hold this button while the Exposure Enable lamp is lit to make an exposure. To stop the
exposure immediately, release the Exposure button.
A buzzer sounds at the end of exposure.
Note:
In AOP mode, and following preparation (anode rotation), exposure is made in two stages:
•
An absorption measurement exposure (the "pre-exposure"), to allow selection of the optimum kV,
focal track, and filter combination for the chosen priority. These parameters are then set automat-
ically. Maximum pre-exposure time is 70 ms (large focal spot) or 130 ms (small focal spot).
•
An exposure during which image acquisition is made.
The operator must maintain pressure on the Exposure button until the buzzer stops to
obtain proper exposure.

Compression release button
•
Press this button to release compression. The compression paddle automatically moves up to the
pre-programmed auto-decompression height.
Note:
If auto-decompression is selected in the
medical set up
menu, compression is released automati-
cally at the end of the exposure.
