obtained using both scanning magnets; each of these magnets is driven by a
dedicated power amplifier, the so-called Scanning Magnet Power Supply (SMPS).
The SMPS is controlled by the Scanning Controller.
The Scanning Controller handles most of the functionality required for the pencil
beam scanning treatment delivery. The Scanning Controller (SC) is largely
responsible for the controls and feedbacks of some elements that affect the beam
trajectory and intensity as well as some other aspects of the beam.
The Scanning Controller is a distributed system and includes shared parts in the
Power Supply Room, and TR specific parts, located near the nozzle.
