User Manual of Mars1417X



Mars1417X provides SDK for users to integrate detector into their DR system.

Additionally, it also provides an application for demonstration, i.e. IDetector. User can use

IDetector to control detector without DR system.

5.1. Steps for acquiring image

 Make sure the hardware is connected correctly and then power on.

Once powered off, please wait at least 60s before power on again

 Wait until initialization is complete

 Connect the software

 choose the synchronization mode

 Generate HWPreOffset, Gain and Defect template after the detector reaches thermal

equilibrium

 Acquire images in the selected mode

To Acquire X-ray image is the main operation of Mars1417X. Most importantly, detector should

build synchronization with X-ray generator. Mars1417X has one synchronization modes to

acquire X-ray image, which is Software Mode.

5.2. Software Mode

5.2.1. Block Diagram

Software mode is the basic way to acquire X-ray image. Please see figure below for general

feature. Workstation is a host PC device installed with iDetector and SDK. FPD is the Wireless

Digital Wireless Digital Flat Panel Detector and HVG is the High Voltage Generator. In this

mode, Workstation does not have to control X-ray generator. Users would decide when to shoot

X-ray.
