CR Console Operation Manual
OPERATIONS
This software enables online transmission/reception of the setup value of X-ray exposure
parameters (tube voltage, tube current, exposure time, etc.) between the CR Console and the
X-ray control unit connected.
It also enables users to register/update X-ray exposure parameters for each exposure menu with
the CR Console. The setup value is transmitted to the X-ray control unit by selecting an
exposure menu, so that X-ray exposure parameters can automatically be set with a simple
operation with the CR Console. In addition, it has the function to receive the data of X-ray
exposure parameters actually used from the X-ray control unit, and the actual data can be
printed on film.
Setting X-ray exposure parameters
Sets X-ray exposure parameters for each exposure menu.
(1) Starting up the User Utility

Updating X-ray Exposure Parameters of All Menus
This function enables users to update the X-ray exposure parameters for all the exposure
menus at once. It is only for super users, so that general users cannot operate it.
(1) Starting up the User Utility
Start up the User Utility for super users, and then select “Parameter Batch Updating”.
→→
→ Selecting “Parameter Batch Updating”
→→
(2) Selecting parameter
“Parameter Batch Updating - User Utility” is displayed.
Select the parameter to be updated at “X-ray Control Parameter” and put a checkmark at its
checkbox. (“X-ray Tube/Operational Method Code” is in “Exposure Parameter” box.)

CR Console Operation Manual
Transmitting/Receiving the Setup Data for X-ray Exposure
Parameters
No particular operation is required for transmitting/receiving the setup data of X-ray exposure
parameters between the CR Console and the X-ray control unit. Perform the operation steps the
same as usual to execute studies.
Transmitting X-ray exposure parameter data :
Selecting an exposure menu at the Exposure Menu Selection Screen or Study Execution Screen
will transmit the setup value of the exposure parameters registered for the selected exposure
menu to the X-ray exposure control unit, and the exposure parameters set automatically at the
X-ray control unit. If the fine adjustment of the X-ray exposure parameters is necessary
according to the object, the setting can be changed with the X-ray control unit.
Receiving X-ray exposure parameter data :
After performing exposures, the data of actual setup value of the X-ray exposure parameters
are received from the X-ray control unit. The received X-ray exposure parameters are printed
out when outputting images on film.
In addition, when exposures are performed in succession in such cases as split exposure, the
X-ray exposure parameters are transmitted from the X-ray control unit for each occasion, so
that the CR Console adds “multiplication value of X-ray Tube Voltage by Duration of X-ray
Radiation” of the X-ray exposure parameters and print out this value on film.
NOTE
• In case of transmitting the setup data for X-ray exposure parameters, when the data (tube
current, tube voltage, exposure time and others) are out of the preset-value range, the
message indicating this will be displayed. Then, the data is modified within the range
automatically and will be transmitted. In this case, confirm/change the setup data for X-ray
exposure parameters for each exposure menu at the User Utility.

CR Console Operation Manual
– X-ray exposure parameters –
There are the following two types for automatic setting of X-ray exposure parameters
depending on the method of setting tube voltage/exposure time/tube current.
• Parameters of tube voltage/exposure time/tube current are transmitted from the CR Console,
and the parameters are set as they are at the X-ray control unit.
• ID cord is transmitted from the CR Console, and the parameters of tube voltage/exposure
time/tube current are set based on the transmitted ID cord at the X-ray control unit.
As shown above, transmissions are made either with the parameters of “kV (Tube voltage)”/
“ms (Exposure time)”/“mA (Tube current)” enabled or the parameter of “ID Code” enabled.
Check which type is applicable before setting each parameter.
The following describes each parameter.
In each parameter, range and value of the setting differ depending on the type of the connected
X-ray control unit. Check details of the model before setting.
kV (Tube voltage) : Set X-ray tube voltage.
mA (Tube current) : Set X-ray tube current.
ms (Exposure time) : Set exposure time.
Exposure Distance : Set exposure distance.
ID Code : Set a code to set tube voltage/exposure time/tube current
at the X-ray control unit.
Reserved 1 (mAs) : Set a mAs value.
Reserved 2 (Focus code) : Set a focus code.
Manufacturer/Equipment code : Set a code for the X-ray control unit.
Auto. Exp. Control : Set the items to control the auto-exposure. Each item
differs depending on the application of the X-ray control
unit.
X-ray Tube/Operation Method Code : Set a code for X-ray tube/operation method.
NOTE
• Be careful to set each value not to excess the necessary X-ray exposure dose to patients.
