6.1 Console as a Tool
The control console of Intraskan DC stores information about the exposures delivered using it and the er-
rors it encountered in the process. Hence it may be used as a black box for evaluating the performance of
the unit or track down certain faults.
6.2 Direct Access
The console may be used directly to display a list of 40 most recent exposures. This list contains the se-
lected kV, mA and ms parameters.
6.3 Event Log
Event log is available in console in two formats. One is event summary which lists down the number of
times each event has occurred. The other is the list of individual events with the most recent one on top.
Console saves details of 408 most recent error events. Each error is detailed with an Event Type, Event
Code and additional Flags as described in the tables below. The flag is hexadecimal bit-mask string and
may be used to check for any other errors that occurred along with the reported error.
