The TNT 12000WD system consists of a wireless detector and uses a laptop computer as a display (computer not included).
Both the TNT 12000 and the TNT 12000WD use a wireless ZigBee™ communication protocol to communicate between detector and display or laptop.
The TNT 12000 single array of solid-state sensors measure kV, Dose, Dose Rate, Half Value Layer (HVL) and exposure time over the entire diagnostic x-ray radiographic, fluoroscopic, mammographic and dental ranges.
All measured values are displayed after each exposure so it is not necessary to make a value preference selection prior to each exposure. This functionality eliminates a typical step in the measurement routine.
Measured values can be recorded for archive and further analysis using the TNT 12000 Excel Add-in Software (provided).
TNT 12000 Ansur Test Automation Software is also available (option) to permit automated test routines that can assure the continuity and accuracy of results.
Measurement
Making a measurement is simple. After removing the unit from the carrying case, separate the detector and display from their clamshell storage position.
Step one:
Turn on both the detector and display. The display will scan for the companion detector and establish a wireless connection.

Note
If the measurement to be made is the same as during last use, radiographic (Radio) for example, the unit is automatically set when power is turned on as the TNT 12000 always defaults to the last use. If a different x-ray system operating mode, (Mammo) for example, is to be measured, using the directional keys highlight the current mode (Radio) and depress the enter key. The mode selection screen will be displayed. Toggle to highlight the desired mode (Mammo) and depress the enter key. Follow step two above.
