these characters, for example <ENTER>, <ESC> etc.
CAPITALS Capital letters indicate data which must be enter ed unchanged,
for example the name of a register, files etc.
Italics Italics represent data i n which a value should be entered, e.g. f or
user name, the name of the technician should be entered.
[.....] Square brackets enclose additions to commands which may be
optionally entered.
Bold Data relating to formats, user entries etc., which is important for
the following entry, is shown in bold as it appears on the mo nitor
screen.
This character indicates that at this point the space key must be
pressed.
xx yy zz Data can be entered in place of "x, y, z"
(e.g. day´s date).

{...} Curved bracket s indicate that out of several terms listed one be-
low the other, one must be selected.
Important remarks are indicated with this box.
* * * * * When the password is entered, only these characters are shown.
Menu Selection: When seve ral menu s, progr ams, files et c. are presented for selec-
tion, they are sho wn in a box (program window).
Selection is made with the <↓> and <↑> keys.
The module selected is highligthed in the display.
<ENTER> Every entry must be confirmed with the <ENTER> key.
<ESC> ESC allows paging back through the program.
<xx> + <y> Some functions are selected by pressing two keys
simultaneously. Procedure: Press, for example, the <Shift> key
and keep it depressed, press the <*> key and then release both
keys.

Connecting the service PC 1
The service PC used must meet the following requirements:
• RAM minimum 4 MByte
• Type minimum 386SX/25MHz
• HD minimum 2.5 MByte free memory
The service PC must be connected with connecting cable part no. 99 00 440 RE999 to the
PC board in the generator. (Do not insert the diskette in the drive yet).

Working with the service PC 1 - 3
Configuration of the service PC 1
All Service Programs use the RS232 port in order to communicate with the MAMMOMAT.
This port is usually handled as COM1 by the OS of the service PC. Modern PC’s can be
equipped with new types of communication hardware, e.g. infrared port and built-in
modem, which may act as COM1 or share resources with COM1. This could cause malfunction of the Service Programs for the MAMMOMAT, which req uires the OS and computer BIOS to be re-configured.
The following procedures are designed to ensure general compatibility with the OS’s
Windows
®
95, Windows® 98 and Windows® 2000 Pro on modern PC’s. If the setti ngs are
saved, this procedure has to be done only once.
Configuration of computer BIOS 1
1. Enter the BIOS setup, usually done by pres sing e.g. <F2> during the boot
sequence of the BIOS.
2. Find the configuration of the I rDA (Infrared device) port and disable it.
3. Find the configuration of a buil t-in modem and make sure it is configured as
COM3.
4. Find the configuration of COM1 and make sure it use s the interrupt IRQ 4 and the
memory address range 03F8 - 03FF.
5. Save the BIOS settings and restart the PC.
Configuration of Windows
(This example is for Windows® 2000 Pro. Windows® 95 and Windows® 98 have a similar
approach, consult the OS documentation for details .)
1. Choose Settings from the Start Menu.
2. Choose Control Panel.
®

3. Choose System.
4. Choose the tab Hardware.
5. Press the button Device Manager.
If the IrDA-port was disabled in the c omputer BIOS, it should not be present in the
list of available hardware. If the IrDA is present anyway and its icon is not marked
with a red cross:
6. Double-click on the device row.
7. Choose the tab General In the appearing dialog box .
8. In the section Device Usage, change the statu s to "Disabled in the current
hardware profile".
9. Exit the dialog by pressing the OK-button.
Having performed the described configurations above, the Service Program should be
able to run without difficulties.

wing system, normalize both detectors.
• after AEC reset installation parameters. In a two wi ng M3000 normalize both detectors.
When performing detector normalizations:
• The detector is to be in chestwall position.
• The AEC calibration plexi (part no. 65 61 240) must extend at l east 10 mm beyond the
chestwall edge of the table and be center ed.
The following e xposures are to be made:
• with no cassette or film
• with the very same AEC calibration plexi and object table.
It is strongly suggested that y ou use a Grid 18x24 object table (Bucky).
1. Make sure a backup floppy is inserted.
2. In <Mainmenu> select <Configuratio n>, <AEC> and
<Detector normalization>.

This menu is used for:
• Installation of correction tables (F2).
• Calibration of correction tables (F3), in cluding rough setting of sens itivity correction.
The AEC uses one correction table for each Anode/Filter/Speed combination. Each correction table has separ ate co rrections for each object t abl e group (Ma gnificat ion, Grid, No
grid and Stereo). When pressing <F2> a dialog box will appear, in which the ID of the correction table to be instal led (from floppy disk) should be entered. When the transaction of
the correction table to the AEC is finishe d, the program will automatically go on to the calibration process.
To enter the calibration process without having installed new correction tables, press
<F3>. When pressing <F3> correction tables previously installed will be loaded from the
AEC. See “Installation and Start-Up Instructions” for further information.
2 - 10 Adjustment and Service PC Programs
During the calibration process of a correction table calibration reference data is fetched
from a calibration file (“calxxxx.txt”, in which the four x:es represent the ID number). The
ID of this file is the same as f or the corr ection tab l e in use and is located on the floppy containing the AEC correction tables (original AEC correction tables shall normally be copied
from the floppy "AEC correction tables" to a backup floppy). The backup floppy m ust be
inserted during the entire calibration.
When pressing <F2> exposure data f rom the cal ibration process is stored in a result file,
e.g. “mrgh.txt”, on thi s floppy. In “mrgh.txt” the first letter rep resents t ype of anode (“m” fo r
molly or “w” for wolfram/tungsten), the second represents type of filter (“m” for molly or “r”
for rhodium), the third represents the ki nd of object table (“g” for grid, “n” for no grid, “s” for
stereo or “m” for magnification) and the fourth represents the speed (“h” for high or “d” for
detailed).
